This historically themed hotel is both nicely decorated, according to the former function of the building as a prison and clean - sustainable. The staff is friendly and really keen on informing their guests of their hotel's past. The breakfast was tasty and with a large variety of fresh food. The boutique they maintain in the reception hall is offering interesting niche products at a good price. Another unique aspect of this hotel was the small exhibition room that shows how a prisoner's cell looked like in the past. The location is also one of the advantages that this hotel offers, because it is close to all the points of interest for culture, shopping and food.

Perfect location, right next to the train/bus station. Super friendly staff. Very good ratio price/quality/location. Good choice for breakfast. Practicality-we'be been to fancier hotels that lacked hooks for towels or had dumb fancy showers leaking all over. Here there was no luxery but everything we needed like space to hang wet towels, space to put your own cosmetics etc. The room was tiny, but we were there just for one night and we were happy with it. Its a plus that it has a common kitchen and a darts room and board games-for the next trip with friends it's the perfect place

Would have liked a system to could open the window (though there is a ventilation thingy on it that u can regulate). The bed linens were clean, nothing to complain about- but maybe the pillows/matrasses need some fresh air/sun. Don't imagine anything groose, its i guess just being in between thick walls all the time. Some extra shelves if people are staying more than one night would be good, like the room have a lot of vertical place-i guess this applies to the old cells room, they have bigger rooms than the one we stayed

To stay in a former prison is an interresting experience. I took one of the smallest "cells" and it was more than OK. Not much space but enough. Well equipped bathroom with shower. With a big sense of humour the management presents the "former prison". Thick concrete walls make sure your are not disturbed by your neighbours. Friendly personell in the reception. Walking distance to the city centre of Västervik where you find a lot of nice restaurants. Excellent breakfast.

The location was very good - a lovely town. It was a novelty staying in a former prison. Great value for the money - the room was comfortable (we stayed in a room, not a cell), the breakfast was totally adequate. Just a short walk to the centre of the town and a selection of restaurants. We would certainly come back for another visit.

Nothing to complain about.

Breakfast bar was beyond amazing. Everything perfectly cooked, presented and tasty!

My single cell was (as would be suspected of an ex-prison cell, mind you!) slightly smaller than I was comfortable with to be honest. I enjoy a bit of yoga in the morning and that was not physically possible unfortunately.

Unique, assumed it was another hotel, not a former prison. Rooms were old cells, so small. But I managed, very comfortable bed. Staff was great, ample PARKING spaces. Breakfast was excellent.

Room was small and a little cramped.

Generous, very nice, child friendly and service oriented staff that made you feel very welcome from beginning to end of stay. Great breakfast and interesting environment that the kids found exciting.

The establishment is very convenient to the train & bus station. Also not far from the centre of town and the water front. The breakfast was fine.

In truth I cannot really fault this hotel. .Perhaps the cost may have been a little bit on the high side in comparison with other establishments that I had stayed in.

The breakfast was really good, the personnel really friendly and the historic aspects of the locations were really nicely highlighted and explained :)

Well organized, good breakfast.

From the decription on booking. com I think it is hard to figure out that it is an old prison building. It was a suprise to me at arrival.
