Its all good.. I have read some bas reviews before i came but i dont think those reviews are true as everything was very good and easy to find..the guy staff was friendly..
Not that i didnt like it but they should make a note that sometimes you get a voicher for breakfast outside the hostel before you pay for breakfast but anyway it was good ! They must do more activities in common area for social life

Great breakfast. Perfect location. Pet friendly. Exciting idea to sleep behind bars
A bit expensive for such a small cell

The room was much larger than expected for a former prison. We had a sofa and a living area. It was sparkling clean and the location was perfect with a coop right across the street and an awesome lunch spot right around the corner. We stayed in a private room but I imagine the dorms are as pristine as the private rooms.

Breakfast was very good. People were all very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Great location. Room was quiet except for occasional minor noise from the street in the morning.
Slight smoke smell from the street at night, may be room-specific.
