  Nice little hostel with good amenities, including a game room and mini cinema, coffee, and an interesting venue in the historic jail. The location was not great and was a little outside the real city, but was close enough to some shops and a pub that it didn't really matter. Acoustics were bad, so if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs or headphones.

  This is a really awesome place to stay hidden away in Addington. The staff were friendly, informative, and helpful. They have done a really good job of preserving the old jail, and you definitely feel the history of the building. The room was simple but comfortable. A word of warning to those who sleep lightly, it is very noisy. The building has cathedral like acoustics. Personally I think it adds to the experience, you can really imagine what it might have been like as a prison. Definitely bring ear plugs. Addington is really fun to explore, lots of cute shops down the main drag. Lots of diversity. Great food/eating options too and everything is really close to the hostel. I would definitely stay again.

  Very nice hostel, really impressive on the inside! I love the different color every night of the week on the main hall. The rooms were pretty big and all was very clean. I definitely recommend the place!

  Interesting place to stay, with option to dress up in striped jail clothes. Friendly staff, clean facilities, not very busy when we visited.. quiet hour begins at 9PM and they close the ‘cinema’ at this time too. Has bike rental, relatively close proximity to downtown, and pool table; but you won’t have a true game as there needs more than one cue and a full set of balls to be used. Did enjoy our time. Thank you

  Great hostel. Really interesting old building which manages to maintain lots of old features and even a few museum pieces. Sleeping in a cell was great fun. Plenty of open spaces inside and parking spaces outside. Friendly staff, decent kitchen. It's a little walk from town but thoroughly enjoyed staying here, cannot recommend it enough.
