It was neat that they have repurposed an old prison.

Tiffany Netherlands

Ideal location to explore Hoorn. Free on-site parking. Friendly staff and decent breakfast. And sleeping in a former jail cell is an interesting experience.

Bas Netherlands

Characterful accommodation - I've never slept in a prison cell before! Comfortable bed, room and bathroom spotlessly clean. Basic, but everything you need.

Corinne United Kingdom

Nice place in a quiet town Very nice view with boats passing by all day

Riley Australia

Breakfast was fine, especially while it was served outside on the terace, with a wonderful view on the harbour.

Frans Netherlands

Everything! Unforgettable and lovely place! Highly recommended

Arkady Spain

Not being a criminal, sleeping in a jail cell - albeit luxurious by jail standards, is a different hotel experience.

Douglas United Kingdom

This is the second time staying in this hotel and truly amazing novel room, the luxury prison experience. Staff is very friendly and helpful during my stay. Location is great and for those staying longer there is a cinema nearby.

Worldtraveller United Kingdom

Unusual experience staying in a prison cell Good location

Simon United Kingdom

The "prison cell" was great!! Friendly, helpful staff.
