Pillow was too big, thus it was uncomfortable. There was a coffee machine in the room, yet no coffee nor cups available. Cleaning was very superficial. In general, I found the accommodation very odd, as if no one cared for the hotel, although it is a great concept and could be doing much better. Breakfast was rather poor, few choices and not the best quality. Not convinced with coming back, but not terrible either.

Big comfortable bed.

Nostalgic old prison, perfect spot

A door to the bathroom would have been better.

Good location.

The room was big and so was the bed, Tv could be bigger but it was enough. It was quite nice experience to sleep in ex prison 😊

The decor in the rooms is just a bit bizarre for my taste. Black and glitter and a round bed. No door for the toilet and just a flimsy shower curtain. The bathtub in the room itself.

It is special as it was a prison in the olden days. And the location is amazing as it is located in the city centre.

. It all feels like Pennie wise, pound foolish.

Location is great, the "look" first impression as well. The breakfast room is nice and cosy.

The room was cold, heating system not working.

The staff were really nice, helpful and friendly, the room was clean and cozy, and the location was good, only 10 minutes walk from the station.

Poor maintenance, can be cleaner, more facilities would be appreciated, a door in the room for the toilet and maybe a more stylish door for the shower

No doors to the toilet,it’s fun but a bit challenging when you want some privacy. Even though there is metal door,it doesn’t shut,so we could hear all the noises from the hall and reception. Mold in mini fridge and in the sink.

Friendly staff Design and idea to reuse formal prison

The room we were in had no toilet. This was not mentioned on booking.com after speaking to the manager there the name of the room says no toilet but it says it in dutch.

The aesthetic of the hotel was nice and the staff were nice.

In our initial room the TV didn’t work. The friendly staff upgraded us however to another room. Great service in the end! Some small things that could be improved in room A22; soap dispenser not well mounted, faucet is leaking, tv is not mounted level and one of the coffee machines is not functioning

Unique location and nicely renovated building and rooms.

Stayed in May 2024

The key card didn't have a room number on it The warm water was just mildly warm The door was beeping to soon when being opened Paper cups for tee and coffee in the room could be replaced by normal cups

The rooms are of good size The beds are spacious and comfortable The service is friendly and effective The location is right in the city center and close to the central station The breakfeast offers fresh orange juice

Hotel is good, but the most important is the stuff. Jordi was at the reception when we came. He is just so polite, so nice, so patient. He has walked numerous times for us, to any questions he was happy to answer. He was also so friendly when we told we were from Armenia, the first Christian country. Just a superb service! Jordi good luck with your job!

My room had no toilet

Totally unique. As it was an old jail now very tastefully decorated and renovated

Stayed in February 2024

A few things could be better: the room lacks available power sockets that can be used for charging devices, etc. Can be easily resolved. Also the curtains in my room need attention. Then the light level in the room is very low - maybe screw in a brighter bulb here and there. Finally the building is a little noisy but that was no surprise.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, great location

We stayed in room B25 which had its windows wide open when we arrived and smelled like poop/sewerage. we should have mentioned this upon check in and should have asked for a different room…when we came back later in the evening the smell still lingered, even after running the shower/faucets and flushing the toilet a few times. The mattresses were also not very comfortable. We have stayed at this hotel last year, in a ‘cipiers’ room, which was great. This time around we were a bit disappointed.

The hotel’s design is really cool!

The warmth in the room cause their wasnt a working airco. The rooms are quite noisy, especially when you wake up in the early morning of moaning cows😅

Interesting hotel to stay and it was close to the train station which was great! I only stayed for a few hours, the bed was comfortable and I had a steady breakfast.

Stayed in May 2023

There was only a bath in the room, no shower however this added to the aesthetic of the room and improved the overall appearance.

Loved the size of the rooms, and the beds were very comfortable.
