Hostel Jailhouse Accommodation
338 Lincoln Rd, Addington, 8024 Christchurch, New Zealand – Great location - show map
Stayed in a jail cell overnight and didn't end up in court the next day , cool and way more rememberable than a posh hotel.

I injured myself, they extended my stay, did everything possible to make it plausible. Several areas to commune, great location in the hub of many eatouts.

Clean, quiet, good location with free parking. Quirky old building. Owners and staff are friendly.

Comfortable and unique stay! Good facilities; clean and quiet; friendly owners. Great spot to stay in ChCh if you have a car (free parking onsite and it’s slightly outside the cbd)

awesome architecture, a bit basic - as it should be, took our teenager for a look see of what life could be like if she decides to go off the rails!

Great vibe, nice renos to a jail: nice communal areas, free wifi, great prices and pretty comfortable setup for a hostel with digital access.

The place was very clean and quiet. The beds were so comfortable and the facilities were very clean. There were lots of things to do and people were very friendly. We really love d our stay.

The location & parking was great. Great kitchen facilities too.

The fact they fancied up the place which once was a horrible prison. Coming from an x remand prisoner

Comfortable bed and clean kitchen. Friendly staff.
