Location: Close to various restaurants, cafes, take-away stores and a general store, with a bus stop nearby for easy access. The historical prison conversion gives it a unique theme that appeals to travelers.(based on 6 reviews)

Very interesting hostel. I would definitely go there again. Negative was only the automated check-in which always makes a hostel less social.

An absolutely fabulous place. Really playing on yhe history of the building all while still giving privacy, security and fun.
Location is super close to a variety of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores, and a general store for those forgotten small items.
Parking is free but it's a first come, first serve scenario.
I loved staying there and highly recommend to any traveler looking for a funky and reasonably priced accommodation.

Nice experience to stay in a jail style hostel with helpful staff
Well equipped kitchen
WiFi connection too weak

It was a bit out of the centre, so we travelled by bus.
The staff were nice.
I was a little disappointed that there were no power sockets in the toilets or in the shower rooms...

Really cool location to spend a night in a jail, but a bit away from city center.
Beds where comfy but lacks curtains for more privacy.
Bathrooms a quite old.

It is a very nice place if your intention is to experience a night in jail. The double bedroom is very small, but since it is a jail it is nothing that you would not expect.
A bit far from the city center
