Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests had a unique experience staying in a former jail, appreciating the interesting atmosphere and friendly service. However, there were concerns about cleanliness, with reports of dust and spider webs, and the location was noted as not being very pedestrian-friendly. Despite these issues, many guests felt the stay was worth the price and enjoyed the overall concept of the hotel.
