Could have more toilets, larger bathrooms

Price location

They did not have many activities for the hostel to get together and get to know people. It is definitely not a youth hostel but a family hostel.

Very clean and good location. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

Lots of showers, not nearly enough toilets. The tiny AC window unit did a dismal job of cooling the room with 8 warm bodies in it. The common area is the dining room, just tables and chairs. No music, only two comfortable sofas (around the tv), and just no vibe. An easy fix for the hostel, and I encourage them to do so.

Very interesting place, well designed with the exception of common areas (see below). Nice enough breakfast. Attentive staff. Ariele’s Pub Crawl and Simon’s Jail tour highly recommended.

1. The Mandarin speaking male guest who spoke on the phone loudly after midnight on the 6th floor. 2. No garbage bin in the shower room.

Location is unbeatable. Great value for a comfortable stay with yummy breakfast included. The guided tour was a special highlight: Simon was an exceptional guide and made it so enjoyable.

There's a give and take staying here. They've kept things super original so if youre in the cell rooms the doors are just bars at the top and bottom, so sound and light are a bit of an issue.

The location, the jail tour and the breakfast were fabulous! Really friendly staff and the actual experience is really cool!

Didn’t get the best sleep due to lights and noise from outside, but it’s all part of the experience.

Good experience in an interesting and unusual location. Very clean and located close to many restaurants and bars.

I have ordered a late checkout for 2 PM as I had an appointment on the day of and didn’t want to drag all my stuff with me to my appointment. I verified with the receptionist the night before whether my order went through and he confirmed that both the late checkout order and payment were already processed. However, the staff the next day was apparently not informed of this, thus they knocked on my door at 11:30 AM asking why I had not checked out yet when checkout was supposed to be done at 11 AM. Not a big deal really but given that I paid extra for the service, I expected not to be rushed the next day.

The free breakfast and the cleanliness.

Saintlo Jail Hostel is a unique experience! If you’re hypersensitive, you might feel the building’s historic presence. The hostel is very clean, but note there’s no elevator, so heavy luggage can be challenging. Overall, a memorable stay!

Great staff, well equipped kitchen, free breakfast, clean premises, good activities (free and paid) hosted by the hostel, helpful information guides provided

Noisy Too small

Visit of the jail Breakfast

Stayed in July 2025

Breakfast options were lacking.

Very unique place to stay. Your in actual cells and you feel it as they are tiny. A bed only. Very interesting place to stay and in a perfect location.

The breakfast was disappointing — when we arrived there was almost nothing left, and it wasn’t refilled, so we left hungry. Also, personally, it felt a bit uncomfortable to sleep in such a small, enclosed space, but that’s part of the charm of the experience.

It was a very unique experience staying in an old jail. The theme was well maintained, everything was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Loud beds, no elevator (keep in mind with heavy luggage)

Very cosy, friendly staff, great tour

The staff was not helpful at all and very passive when there was no water in the building (not the fault of the hostel.)

Solo room in the cell

Stayed in August 2025

Noise travels quite easily on the floor with single rooms. As well, I found it odd that staff start cleaning early in the morning around 8 when they advertise quiet time until 9AM. Seems like that could be done once people check out/head out for the day?

Good location, interesting space, ample bathrooms/showers, decent breakfast for a hostel (the bagels were tasty) and strong AC.

The location is perfect, the staff is so helpful and friendly

Good location, comfortable beds, clean, breakfast

Just a couple of toilets (single sex) per floor. Not a complaint as this is a converted Victorian jail!

Fabulous setting, unlike any other. Quirky, an unforgettable experience (of the good sort!)
