Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

I liked that it was very close to the ferry and the only few things I didn't like was that the bed made very loud creaking noises and the last thing is something a little more personal and that is that I would have liked to have some more directions for where the baggage room was and which way to find the rooms that one was given. But otherwise I had a very good last night sleep in Visby.

Solid hostel in Visby
Overall a good stay. Kitchen felt a bit run down. And if you are tall you will for sure bounce your head in the door damper in the low cell doors. They are mounted so there is a peace of meral sticking out a foot into the room. Luckily i wasnt so tall that I got them in the eye but my forehead took some beatings. But what I couldnt understand is why they have motorbikes inside the halls and saloons as decoration. They take up space, and hinder walking, and the space could be used much better. In addition they look ugly and out of the place. The decision to put them there is the dumbest thing I have seen in any hostel. Otherwise the establishment delivered to expectations.

Trevligt ställe och unikt ställe
Bra läge! Roligt ställe med fängelsetema - unikt. Enklare vandrarhem med bra sängar. Rent och fint.

Perfekt under Stockholmsveckan!
Jag och min vän bokade detta boende till stockholmsveckan och vi älskade det! Man kan beskriva att det är som att bo på kollo, små rum, allting är inte 100% bra kvalité och renligheten kan ifrågasättas, MEN upplevelsen, personerna och mysigheten var helt fantastisk! Trevlig personal och tydliga instruktioner på hur man checkar in och ut (det var skönt att man kunde checka in själv).
Det var även väldigt trevligt att det fanns många ”allrum” både ute och inomhus. Men även den härliga uteserveringen! Supermysig servering där man har en väldigt fin utsikt över hamnen. Det erbjöds liveband (Dogge doggelito) med mat och dryck. Vi kollade även fotbollsmatchen där, vilket var väldigt roligt.
Vi håller inte med om dessa dåliga recensioner! Man får helt enkelt det man betalar för! Om man vill ha mer privat (inte ungdomar som festar till 7 på morgonen) så ska man inte boka vistelse under Stockholmsveckan, och om man vill ha ett ”fräschare” ställe så får man lägga några hundralappar till och bo någon annanstans!
Detta boende är för dig som är en pank ungdom som gillar att festa och socialisera sig, för fängelset blir som ett eget litet samhälle.
