The shower was great, and the rooms well outfitted with historical snippets.

Whipeyourself Luxembourg

Great Atmosphere in the jail but still cozy comfy, and the styling and setup is with a cool sense of humor The staff was great and helpful 👍 and the breakfast was good. The rooms are very clean and a lot of parking options are available. Location is quiet and peaceful...though in the city to be close to sightseeing

Joerg Germany

The atmosphere is unique, being an old prison. Also very good value for money.

Bram Netherlands

It was ok for a couple of nights, plus all the entourage. Interesting experience, nice surroundings. Some really good restaurants in the area, especially liked a Lebanese place (10 min walk from the hotel).

Aleksandr Canada

Beautiful building, cool location, great common spaces, beach very close to the hostel and breakfast was excelent

Krix_c Belgium

Lovely location, next to a small beach and running trails, and a small dock for kayaks and boats. Very quiet/private, but still less than 10min away from bus and subway. Staff were very nice and accommodating. Clientelle was older/more mature compared to most other hostels I've been to, which was very appreciated.

Matthew Canada

It was beautiful. Nice are to take walks in with close by parks.

Andrea Sweden

Cool ambiance with jail-theme design and details. Cells are small but really well prepared to make your stay comfortable. We enjoyed our time there, the island has beautiful surroundings and views.

Federico Argentina

- the crazy location (it was a prison) - good breakfast - good to sleep

Uwe Germany

It's located in the little island of Stockholm really nice and quiet, loved the ambiance of the place. Very comfortable beds regardless of the fact that is an ex prison cell. Nice stuff and close to the tube station. If you are a dedicated walker like me possible to walk to centre of Stockholm in about 45-50 minutes, very pleasant walk around the water. Big guest kitchen available upstairs with all amenities.
