As a prison experience this is a fantastic choice.. The manager is a former inmate and the history itselv is worth it All... Before we arrived, we joked about that the Breakfast would be bread and water.. It was almost like that... Not continental 😊 As a hotel experience it is not the choice...

Spændende og anderledes overnatning

Meget anderledes at overnatte i et tidligere fængsel, men det var rigtig godt. Man kunne færdes i stort set hele fængslet og få et indtryk af, hvordan det var at være indsat der inden fængslet lukkede. Der var pænt og rent, og gode muligheder for underholdning, både i kælderen med bl.a. bordtennis og en arkademaskine, og ovenpå i biblioteket med diverse brætspil. Super hjælpsomt og flinkt personale. Selve byen, som er en lille havneby, er rigtig hyggelig, og i gåafstand fra hotellet (ca 10 min.) Helt klart et sted (og by) vi kan anbefale at bruge et par dage på.
