Cool prison hotel with great history

Super cool Hotel, its an old prison. very clean, very good breakfast, super confy beds. the doors are extreemly small since its the original doors for the prison cells. The staits in the middel of the hotel is low so you can hit your head. Rooms have very high celings. very comfy, cool history, great location.

This website informed me that the room had its own bathroom when in fact it was communal S was the shoer. Aside from that everything was nice clean and the fact that the hotel originally was a prison added to its charm.
The restaurant had some weird sculptures of prison guards etc.

Det nödvändiga är bra nog.

Behövde boende för en hemvändarresa. Det hade det som vi behövde där och då. Dvs. En säng. Frukost ingår, men fanns inte något gluten eller laktosfritt vad jag kunde se. Personalen hade säkert kunnat fixa fram det snabbt. Men för mig var inte frukosten nödvändig. (Så länge det finns kaffe så är jag nöjd) Hotellet har bra läge med promenadavstånd till centrum.

Ett boende utifrån byggnadens förutsättningar

Läs på om boendet. Du får det som beskrivs. Säng, tillgång till WC och dusch. Eftersom man har behållit fängelsets celler så är det med dåtidens standard på rummet storlek och med dörrar av metall utan tätningslist. Det är charmen med detta boende.

Prisvärt boende med bra läge

Små rum med enklare standard, helt och rent. Mycket prisvärt. Fint med utsikt mot Vänern. Rummet bokades som enkelrum men hade en 140-säng med dubbla set med sängkläder, så man hade utan problem kunnat sova två i rummet. Fin frukost med olika sorters bröd, pålägg, yoghurt, müsli, kaffe, juice, frukt etc. prydligt upplagt i matsalen på morgonen. Minus för ljudmiljön. Rumsdörren saknade i princip all form av ljuddämpning - varje gång någon öppnade eller stängde en dörr i korridoren (vilket hände ofta) hördes det nästan lika tydligt som att det var min rumsdörr som smälldes igen. Dessutom går ett "alarm" igång varje gång man håller håller upp nyckelkortet mot låset, för att visa att den var upplåst. Öronproppar är ett måste om ni inte sover tungt.

En 'fängslande miljö' i vacker vinterstad

Kort stopp på genomresa. Sen ankomst löste sig, bra service. Hela stället en upplevelse! - med hela fängelsemiljön och de små cellerna med fräscha, sköna sängar. Varma rum i vinterkylan, dock lite kallt i duschar. Trevlig frukost.
