Very original, staying in an old jail is an experience. Everything is clean and staff were very nice and helpful. Kitchens were very well furnished to make your own meals. I recommend.

4/10 Fair

A difference experience when travelling, but could have had a small fridge in the room as the main one was full and we had to leave milk and our food out overnite. Great for back packers.
Glenis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our quick stay and plan to return when we come back through Christchurch. Walls of the rooms were super thick being a former jail so we slept well, bathrooms were clean and staff were very helpful - especially when we called asking after a lost item which they found and have saved for us. Many thanks!

Nice Stay!!!

Great place to stay. Parking is a problem if you’re late in. One mess up was that Key Code instructions did not arrive until after we had already checked out the following day. Possibly because of a late/last minute booking. Staff were able to resolve this problem via a phone call. So no problem.

10/10 Exceptional

A very novel experience, something you must try!

Loved staying here, not only was it great value for money - but it was also a fantastic experience. Staying in a jail, with your own cell was really fun. This is a hostel / accommodation so don’t expect anything fancy, it’s basic but it’s very clean and tidy. The other inmates were all friendly that I bumped in too, and there was a great atmosphere about the place. I would definitely stay here again, it’s just a great experience!
Elliott, 2-night trip

I always wanted to get a feeling of what the inside of a prison looks like - well only kind of since this one has a pool table and TV room and you come and go as you like, very friendly staff, right next to Hagley Park.
