We stayed in a twin cell which was clean and had enough space for our bags etc with bunk beds, a small desk with chair and a cupboard. The cells have been renovated to incorporate 3 cells to make 1 room but maintained the prison style - including bars onto the corridors and arched ceilings meaning that you can hear... More

An old jail that turned to be a hostel. The rooms were designed to keep the prison cell style. I wouldn't recommend for people easily impressed... More

I didn't pay to stay in a cell but the shared dorm rooms in the front part of the jail (the mansion) where very good. Clean, lots of space, reading lights on the beds. My complaint on the rooms would be that there are no lockers, not even a small one for your valuables. The kitchen, laundry and common areas... More

Ok it's got "character", but with that comes the smell, noise and cramped conditions you would expect to find at a prison. There's bars above the door, so light filters in and there's nothing you can do about it. That isn't great but fair enough they can use the "character" excuse to justify it. I was most disappointed by the... More

Slept in a twin cell. Quite a bit of traffic noise out the windows in the morning. Perfectly clean, no bed bugs. Similar experience to a university residence. Confiscated our alcohol when it wasn't open and we didn't intend to drink it there. Cramped, but for a cell that's what I expected. Front desk was a little rude during check-in... More

The good: Location is great; staff are helpful; price is good for one person; pretty clean The not so good: showers are smaller than a breadbox; 8 people crammed into a room can prevent sleep as people are constantly coming in and out of the room; it really is haunted (nothing crazy malicious, but spooky); no coffee maker in the...

I stayed only one night there with my friend. Its not traveling season so there were few people. Only the two of us stayed in the 6-person dorm. The place seemed very organized and safe. They changed the safe code everyday. And they give out a key to every customer when you check in. They have a nice kitchen and... More

The ultimate in no frills accommodation! on check-in you get given your towels and bedding so you even have to make your own bunk bed up. the rooms/cells have no facilities other than a desk, a chair, a cupboard and a bed. no you dont even get a window! sounds grim? well not really. this is a novelty experience and...
