Ever wanted to know how it is to sleep in prison? This is the chance without the need to commit a crime. This old prison has been converted to a nice hotel without loosing the flair. Thick walls, reception and bar behind iron bars abd if looking out of the window one can see the barbed wire.. Nevertheless i did... More

We got lost trying to locate this hotel at night. It's hard to find. The hotel was extremely clean and decor was modern (think IKEA).
