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...

Utrolig gjennomført, spennende og særegent

Skulle bare ha en "annerledes" overnatting og kom plutselig midt oppi " true crime festival" som gjorde oppholdet ENDA mer særegent og interessant! Kjempestilig konsept og innblikk i " en annen verden"!!! Over all forventning! Gode senger også! Anbefales på det sterkeste! Om det hadde vært noe vi skulle utsette på oppholdet, så er det bare at søppelbøtta på rommet/cella godt kunne vært tømt etter forrige besøk.

Anbefaler Fengselshotellet i Arendal på det varmeste. En helt egen atmosfære, mye historie både i og på veggene og fantastiske fangevoktere - alt i alt svært gode soningsforhold❤️

Fantastisk service.

Fantastisk service fra personalet, og topp med gratis parkering. Ekstremt dyrt under Arendalsuka, men det er jo slik det er ved slike arrangement. Greit å være oppmerksom på at det er enkel standard, men det funker fint.

To netter i Arendal

Vi ble veldig nysgjerrig på dette hotellet da det dukket opp i søket vårt. Å bo på en tidligere celle var artig, og behagelig. Vil bemerke at toalettet er rett på veggen på rommet 😅 de underselger frokosten i annonsen som bestod av brød med mye forskjellig pålegg, kaffe, te melk, juice og frokostblanding. Kun 10 minutter gange til sentrum.
