We had a wonderful stay in this very special hotel. Everything about the stay was great. Our room was very nice with very comfortable separate beds (cell 34). The staff was VERY helpful and friendly during our entire stay. The home-made breakfast was delicious. The hotel is close to the city center, and when we used the "Glassheisen", as recommended by the staff, we could get back and forth very quickly. In our opinion, the way the prison has been renovated and turned into a hotel, is very well done. It has the comforts of a hotel, and all the new interior elements (furniture, plants, curtains, paintings) are elegant but in a style that does not distract from the feeling of being in a former prison. It is possible to walk around and look at everything from the old prison. All in all a great balance between authenticity and comfort. Some of the practical details that we appreciated: Showers and extra toilets on the same floor as the room, a fridge in the hallway that we could use, heater + fan in our room, coffee/tea making facilities. Everything is tidy and clean. One of us joined a guided tour of the prison, which was very interesting and made a lasting impression. If you stay at the prison hotel, you should not miss this. Highly recommended!

I would say the place is a thematic hostel with a historic background. Super cool. The location is excellent. The breakfast was a VIP service (upon request) but has room for improvement. The bed was very comfortable. Audun was extremely welcoming, kind and service minded!

Fengselshotellet – langt fra soning, te
Reiste spontant til Sørlandet for å få med meg Hove Rock Festival lørdag 14., og trengte et sted å bo i siste liten. Logget meg inn på ********** og fikk napp – ett ledig rom igjen. Jackpot!
Ringte i forkant for å høre om tidlig innsjekk – null stress. Sen utsjekk dagen etter? Også helt uproblematisk. Servicen satt som et skudd fra hyggelig og travel betjening, som virkelig gjør en innsats i det som fortsatt føles som et levende, gammelt fengsel – bare med fri tilgang til frokostbuffeten 😇
Frokosten hadde alt jeg trengte. Og opplevelsen denne gangen? Mye, mye bedre enn sist. Kanskje var det stemningen, kanskje festivalen – men mest av alt: tryggheten og atmosfæren her.
Kommer gjerne tilbake – frivillig! 🙌

Sjovt, Identisk men ikke for mange dage.
Ideen med at indrette et hotel i en nedlagt fængsel er fin. Stedet er også identisk. Desværre er der meget lyt og dermed kan man høre de rum som ligger i nærheden. Rengøringen af baderum kunne også være bedre.
