An interesting place for a night’s stay, but it is a Youth Hostel, not a hotel 🙂 Stayed in one of en-suite rooms, purpose built out at the back of the place. Room is functional, clean, reasonably spacious with a TV, fridge and effective aircon but no tea/coffee/cups/glasses etc - though of course, being a Youth Hostel there is a fully equipped kitchen available.

Loved my stay here! It wasn't the nicest place but it's a prison so that is to be expected, and I thought it being a bit run-down made the experience more authentic. I do wish I was able to explore more of the buildings without having to pay for a tour though...
