Guest reviews for Jailhouse Accommodation - Hostel

4 out of 5
A really special stay. The theme of the old jail was done really well. The interaction with staff was very good. Common areas designed quite nice. The cleaning in the bathrooms could be better. And the sourronding area isn't quite nice and by foot it takes half an hour to be in the City Centre (15 min by bus).

Erittäin hyvä hostelli

Erittäin hyvä hostelli joka tehty vanhaan vankilaan. Huoneet siistit ja mukavat ja hyvät sängyt. Hostellipalvelut huippuluokkaa. Hyvä sijainti.
