I love everything about this hotel. The location is excellent. It has a unique history and decor. The breakfast is wonderful. The concierge is very pleasant and available to assist . I have been several times and look forward to returning.

The rooms are lovely, comfortable and warm. The breakfast is brilliant, plenty of choice and the hotel location is great. Not too far from the city centre but far away enough for it to be nice and quiet

Fun concept for a hotel with some history to explore onsite. Breakfast and restaurant lunch and dinner options are tasty. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, though as a former prison, there are only ground and first level or sublevel floors. Great location for taking the tram or walking to Sky Wheel, market and restaurants.

Loved the peaceful location that's a short walk into the center (or take the tram which stops right in front of the hotel). The history is very interesting and the staff very friendly and helpful as well as informative. The breakfast was amazing! Love the decor of the hotel and the super comfortable beds. We hope to return one day!

Super friendly and supportive staffs, tasty breakfast, good location easy to reach to the city center, nice gym, pretty reasonable price.

modern with history, ample room and very beautiful settings. excellent meals (both breakfast and dinner)

staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating

Great in every way. Our room was on the 4th floor. High ceilings, spacious room, spotlessly clean. The TV has a chromecast which was very nice. The building has a lot of character as is expected. It's 10min walking distance to the market square but there is also a tram stop right in front of the hotel which was very convenient. There are supermarkets closeby. Staff was friendly. Neighborhood is very quiet despite being close to the busier areas. All in all an amazing stay, I will advise friends to stay at this hotel to make their trip better.

Beautiful room. Great and historic building - they put a lot of effort into maintaining the 'historical jail feel' while upscaling quite a bit.

A beautiful property. Once a prison, it is now quite a luxurious hotel. They also have a bar/restaurant and art on display. Short walk to the market but hidden in the quiet side of town.
