Great property. Around isn’t particularly pretty, but that’s fine. Not ugly either
Carla, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic stay in spacious annex

We had a fantastic stay in the hotel's annex apartment. The apartment was so spacious, clean and comfortable. We were able to get a great night's sleep, my partner away from my snoring! Check in was quick and friendly. Breakfast was a good continental selection.
Jane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here five years ago, eccentric place, old county jail, as a retired nurse who had worked at a county jail and a state prison, I was delighted by the place. Tack så mycket
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Different...in a good way

This is a unique property which made for a fun stay. (My gosh though, those "prison" doors are heavy.) Everything was very clean. It made the shared bathroom factor a total non-issue. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Erikoinen hostel

Vankilahostel, vessat ja suihkut käytävällä. Ennemminkin yhteismajoitus kuin varsinainen hotelli, vähän hippi meininki. Yksi yö meni hyvin. Paikan historia on kiinnostava.
Kati, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Lugn och skön upplevelse på detta charmiga lilla hotell. Glad och hjälpsam personal. Rummen är lite lyhörda. I övrigt ligger hotellet i en ganska lugn del av staden. Frukosten som serveras är kanske inte överdådig men tyckte dom erbjöd det väsentligaste.

Mysigt hotell men dålig sömn

Det här är ett charmigt och rustikt hotell med mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. Sängarna är dock rätt så knöliga och kudden alldeles för hög. Det är även lyhört mellan cellerna. Tyvärr sov jag knappt alls under min vistelse.
