Everything, plus space to store our bike (tandem). Location on the water - exceptional. Friendly, engaging, helpful staff were all terrific, especially Dennis.

Richard United States of America

A really authentic experience! Friendly and super helpful staff. Top location.

Zsuzsa Netherlands

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

The staff was very helpful, The room was clean, basic and cosy. Maybe a bit too small for two people.

Marcel Netherlands

Central location with gorgeous view on the water. The prison theme is tastefully done. Clean, comfortable, very friendly staff. They warned me beforehand where to find the parking area!

Willem Germany

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.
