Fantastic stay in spacious annex
We had a fantastic stay in the hotel's annex apartment. The apartment was so spacious, clean and comfortable. We were able to get a great night's sleep, my partner away from my snoring! Check in was quick and friendly. Breakfast was a good continental selection.

Hotell GF
Det var roligt att stanna där. Jag var nöjd med mottagen och fick tillräcklig information om allting. Städningen var perfekt i rummet, köket, toaletterna och dusch. Frukosten var också jättebra och damen som serverade den var mycket vänlig och hygglig. Hon hjälpte alla som skulle sätta sig på restaurangen. Jag tror att priset på hotellet var det enda som ganska var högt.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
On the booking page, they didn't marked as shared bathrooms in the rest of the rooms except for single room. I would not have chosen this hotel if I knew that all of the rooms in this hotel did not have a private toilet. I sent a message through the hotel's webpage to talk about this, but I didn't get an answer. The room is very small. Staffs were friendly.

Amazing host running the place, and such a quirky place, but just be aware that it is after all an old prison, so quite basic and noisy. Breakfast included was fantastic!

Gamla fängelset är intressant . Ett litet museum och olika föremål och foton från tiden då fängelset var igång. En trevlig upplevelse för den som har intresse för historia. Därtill kan tilläggas att personalen är hjälpsamma och trevliga. Rent och fint oöverallt.
