    Poor WiFi - we couldn't get it in our bedroom, only in the sitting cafe area No undercover storage for our bicycles.

    Excellent location - right by the sea and port, but quiet at nights. Excellent breakfast and also did evening meals which looked good but we didn't eat there. Very comfy beds, good bedding and best shower we had on our travels

    Walls seems to be made of paper. You can hear everything in room next to you. And also the things adult do when they are together.. after long day it may not be the thing you want.

    Location is good, town is perfect for long walks and night life is very active.

    Unfortunately very noisy rooms; we could hear every sound of our neighbors. The missing of the shower curtain makes everything very wet during and after a shower. And the room was very dirty on important spots.

    Location is just wonderful and we had a beautiful sunny view on the IJsselmeer. It does feel special to sleep in a former prison. Bed was good. Safe parking included.

    Rooms on third floor (top) have reasonable ventilation with openable windows but the elevator area can get warm at peak of day.

    Casual atmosphere of lounge is nice. We were allowed to store our bikes inside, which is good security. Breakfast is abundant and fairly priced; much better than jail food! Location is very convenient to downtown and seaside (lakeside).

    Very good situation, too expensive for what it is worth.

    The room is very expensive for not so great quality: it is very small (and as I don’t care that it was a prison, I would prefer pay less), and a bit too cheaply furnished in the bathroom: plastic disposable glasses, no shower curtain, no window.. + in the morning we saw rooms that have a sea view, they are bigger, much nicer as the view is great and the windows are real ones (not in the roof): everything is ok but not worth this very expensive price. It would have been nice to pay less for a lesser room Thanks

    The hotel is very well situated, right in the center of everything, and the view next to it is very good, with the ships etc. We had the courtyard view, which was quite nice (until we saw the other side of the hotel!)

    A bit of navigating to understand where the parking was. No door between bathroom and the rest of the room- so no privacy and the whole room get damp when showering.

    Beautifully placed, fun concept staying in the old cell’s. Nice bed and great with locked parking area.

    We came to Horne on bicycles so location was perfect for our next destination. We booked for one night only and extended for two more nights due to beauty of the city and low tourists. Weather was perfect.
