The quirky accommodation in the old prison was great. The beds were comfy and cells were clean. The location is perfect to explore the very pretty town of Ribe. Really enjoyed our stay.

The bathroom was perhaps unsurprisingly cramped which isn’t a problem but the floor got soaked each time the shower was used. The breakfast was poor in our opinion. The rubbish and recycling was a real mess outside where we chose to have breakfast and the tables needed cleaning.

We stayed in the Prison Warden's room on purpose - it cost more but is on main level with convenient back door so we could haul our luggage easily. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE, large room, large bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and above expectations.

Well located, and what a place! Great experience to sleep in a jail, and very comfy. The breakfast was... amazing.

One guy in the staff was not very friendly, the other was definitely nicer.

location was very good.

Bath facilities could have been cleaner. No one on the property itself if you have an issue or it appears as if no one is available.

Excellent location. Good confort. Amazing breakfast All in all, it is a great value for the price.

The bathrooms are the weakness of the hotel, but i knew it and it also explains the super super low price of the room.

such a cool experience to stay here!

the only negative is the shower didn’t drain properly, so that was a little unpleasant.

The location is exactly at the city center. Very good and kind attention from all staff.

One disadventage can be the shared bathroom.
