As a prison experience this is a fantastic choice.. The manager is a former inmate and the history itselv is worth it All... Before we arrived, we joked about that the Breakfast would be bread and water.. It was almost like that... Not continental 😊 As a hotel experience it is not the choice...

En autentisk känsla av en fängelsecell. Bekvämligheterna är därefter men mycket roligt att övernatta på ett sådant här ställe. Mycket trevlig personal. Frukost OK.

Alltid en opplevelse å bo her. Overdådig luksus kan du se bort i fra, men du forventer seng, vask og toalett på eget rom. Frokosten har bedret seg betrakteligere siste årene, og nå varter de opp med varmt nystekt brød, speilegg og pølser, samt en del pålegg. Knekkebrød og vann kan du se lenge etter. Hotellet er et bra alternativ for de som kun ønsker seg et sted å sove for en rimelig penge

Vinner på sjarm og god frokost. Man må huske på at dette er fengselsceller og det er ikke dusj på rommet. Do er det men ikke spesielt privat, men er og do på gangen Men takterasse, masse informasjon om historikk til fengselet, samt en meget bra frokost ( snitter som var fantastiske ) og trivelig betjening, så var dette en fin opplevelse.

Andre gang vi overnatter her. Stedet har en fin atmosfære. Kjekt med gratis parkering. Frokosten har potensiale for å bli bedre. Manglet brød. Men alt i alt kjekk plass, og vi kommer gjerne tilbake.
