The location is good. It is not far from the Museum. We sleep in the officer's room, a staff let us look around one of the cells before we leave which is interesting. The kitchen facility is nice.

Hostel was as expected, given that it is a converted prison. Location is excellent with the old part of Karlskrona all within walking distance

Great location and a unique hostel! Near the beach und still quiet in the night. Wonderful atmosphere!

Great place for short stay. Amazing location, next to sandy beach and of course Marinmuseum. Super clean and tidiy, kitchen equipped with anything you'd need to make breakfast or even sipmle lunch having great view from a window at the same time:)

Everything was nice, I really liked the pantry and the fact that I could drink some tea there. The island is beautiful and close to the centre. The personnel is helpful and kind. We had our private fridge in our room, which was also very nice.

One of a kind experience to sleep in the hotel-prison, perfect cleanliness, well organised space, all was in the right place! The kitchen is available on site and our destination maritime museum was just next to it. As cosy as it gets for this kind of accomodation !

The location is beautiful and very central, you can walk everywhere in central Karlskrona. I also love the concept of staying in an old prison where they have maintained the prison vibe but made it very cosy and appealing.

Perfect location, next to the marine museum and a Bath place. Just a few minutes walk to the square and a comfortable walk to see the old city.

The concept of reuse for this old prison is excellent. The place was spotless and clean. You have to be prepared for very small rooms and single bunkbeds... It's not for everyone, but we really enjoyed it! The staff took extra time to give the history any time they were asked. You can tell there is great pride in this place.

Good location and friendly staff. For sure will stay here again… on my next visit. Walking distance to all attractions.
