It was a bit out of the centre, so we travelled by bus.
The staff were nice.
I was a little disappointed that there were no power sockets in the toilets or in the shower rooms...

Really cool location to spend a night in a jail, but a bit away from city center.
Beds where comfy but lacks curtains for more privacy.
Bathrooms a quite old.

It is a very nice place if your intention is to experience a night in jail. The double bedroom is very small, but since it is a jail it is nothing that you would not expect.
A bit far from the city center

Clean and well-maintained, not run-down like other hostels. They really go all out with the theme!
