The "stay in an old prison" experience is amazing. Small rooms from previous cells are made into good enough comfort including bathroom!

Nothing, really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back.

It's located in the little island of Stockholm really nice and quiet, loved the ambiance of the place. Very comfortable beds regardless of the fact that is an ex prison cell. Nice stuff and close to the tube station. If you are a dedicated walker like me possible to walk to centre of Stockholm in about 45-50 minutes, very pleasant walk around the water. Big guest kitchen available upstairs with all amenities.

My flights connections so I could have enjoyed the stay a bit longer .

The shower was great, and the rooms well outfitted with historical snippets.

Unfortunately, there is no water kettle to cook your hot water in the room. There is no space and no shelf to put your things in the bathroom. Booking.com should really work on the room descriptions...it is completely misleading, especially for families... safety for younger kids on bunkbeds should be mentioned.

Great Atmosphere in the jail but still cozy comfy, and the styling and setup is with a cool sense of humor The staff was great and helpful 👍 and the breakfast was good. The rooms are very clean and a lot of parking options are available. Location is quiet and peaceful...though in the city to be close to sightseeing

It was clear to me that we had to rent towels however I had not understood we also had to rent bedsheets and fit them on our own (not easy on the bunk beds!). There is also an extra fee you need to pay if you don't want to clean the room to be ready for the next guest (so deep cleaning). The room is a cell, so it is very tiny. There's not enough space if you have large luggages. Finally, the location can be slightly uncomfortable, particularly in very snowy conditions, as the hostel is a 10-15 minutes walk from the metro station Hornstull (very well connected to the centre and the airport).

The prison experience is a lot of fun! Everything is themed as a prison and the rooms are actual cells. We had a double room with bunk beds and a private bathroom. The bathroom is very comfortable and spacious. The area around the hostel is very beautiful with parks and playgrounds.

We missed that bed linnen weren't included in our booking. We had to pay a surcharge for that.

The atmosphere is unique, being an old prison. Also very good value for money.

Amazing location and climate

Loved everything!

The hostel is in a great location, a bit quirky as it once was a prison. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Location is great for exploring Stockholm. Rooms are well equipped and really comfortable - will definitely return as would like to stay in the summer months.

The rooms and the whole facility are unique. You need to be aware that the rooms used to be cells of a prison. So there is still the "spirit" but the rooms have been renovated perfectly. The breakfast is probabaly a bit smaller than in a big hotel but absolutely sufficient and a very good selection of different types of food!

The only thing was that there were no curtains or blinds on the window of the room: in winter this was OK because it was dark, but I couldn't see any way of darkening the room to sleep in the summer when you might have daylight for most of the 24-hours.

A unique building, a fantastic adaptation of an old 19th century prison. Clean, comfortable, interesting, with a great buffet breakfast in the hotel which is attached to the hostel. It's on a quiet, wooded island just 10 minutes walk from Hornstull metro station. The Arlanda airport bus goes from the station every 30 minutes. The Tunnelbana (Metro) system is clean, frequent and reliable. Everything was good. We'd stay there again if we were in Stockholm.

One of the top bunk beds was only accessible by crawling through the other bunk.

Rather interesting venue, historic vibe, yet with modern and adequate facilities

I would rather have linen automatically charged within full price than asked for during check in whether we need it.

Very nice setting in former prison building. Room was cosy and comfortable for four of us. Good location however quite far from old town or station but as we are devoted walkers and weather was brilliant it was not a problem at all :) Staff was friendly, reception filled with drinks and snack to buy :) I strongly recommend this place!

Stayed in November 2022

That they didn't specify that towels and bed sheets were not included.

We liked the receptionist and that it looked like s prison, the ambientation.

NOTHING IT IS PERFECT AND IF YOU ARE A SWMMER YOU CAN SWIM ON THE BEACH RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FRONT DOOR.

THIS WAS MY 18TH TIME STAYING THERE OVER 30 YEARS,. IT IS THE BEST HOSTEL IN THE WORLD, FAR SURPASSES ANYTHING i've EVER STAYED IN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THE STANDARDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN 100 PER CENT ON EVERY LVEL

Stayed in November 2022

Looking at it as a hostel would have liked more facilities such as laundry or kitchen, although reception had well priced drinks and snacks. Closer to a hotel experience really, and excellent value from that point of view.

well laid out room, great bathroom, fantastic restaurant and communal areas on site. Great quirky vibe playing into building’s past. Beautiful surroundings and easy to access by public transport.

Super converted prison into a hostel - well worth a visit. Tiny room but beautifully decorated. Very good friendly service. Convenient check in / out. Free parking space next to the building. Nice area and close to the metro. Very well equipped kitchen for hostel guests.

The iron was not very good and the lighting in iron room was bad. Couldn't really see the wrinkles.

Uncomplicated check-in and check-out, easy staff, everything you need at the premises,clean and great breakfast.

Curious and wonderful place. Excellent breakfast

Stayed in August 2022

Same as others have mentioned: had to pay for linen, not really a walking distance to the city center (though it wasn’t a surprise, obviously and subway can get you there quickly).

It was ok for a couple of nights, plus all the entourage. Interesting experience, nice surroundings. Some really good restaurants in the area, especially liked a Lebanese place (10 min walk from the hotel).

Nothing, we thought it was superb.

Unique experience. Has the wow factor. Clean and comfy rooms. Lovely location in parkland with beach and bike hire on site and kayak hire next door. Very close to centre. Good self catering kitchen.
