  Beautiful place and nice atmosphere. The owner is the coolest guy I ever made and the feeling to sleep in a prison is amazing. It all has a lovely touch, high speed WiFi and beautiful rooms.

  We really liked it there, but we had a few issues regarding facilities. First off the kitchen is small and has in total four hobs. The common rooms are really cosy, but also small, so there weren't space for many people. (They do make up for that with a pretty rooftop garden though, that we unfortunately didn't get to see until the day we left. :/ ) Here's our main issue with the place: our room, as nicely themed as is was, couldn't be locked on the inside, it didn't even shut properly. It could however be locked from the outside, so it's no problem during the day. The staff were really nice though, and the theme of the place is a huuuge plus. It was quite the experience staying there. :)

  Super awesome cool small backpackers. Rian, the owner, goes above and beyond to make your experience the best. The cells(rooms) are cool. Kitchen can get a bit cramped, but it clears out pretty quick . Very clean. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

  It is the most comfortable place with the most friendly people. I really loved it😍

  The Hostel is a old Jail, which is cool. The kitchen is tidy and clean and they have a nice place outside where you can hang out and chill. The toilets don't flush very well which can put you in a awkward situation. The room has windows which can't be opened but you still get bitten by mosquitos all night. You can't lock your door to the room and there was a Toilette without a door in my room.
