Nothing really.

Very quirky. A converted prison. Forn Norway a good price.

Kindness of the host

Nothing. Just be aware all signage will be in Norwegian, so probably handy to have a translating app available!

Comfortable, warm room. Fascinating articles and history. Fun spaces. Great commitment to the concept. Simple tasty breakfast. Nice town. Really enjoyed our stay!

Wrong information on booking.com, notably saying that rooms have ensuite bathrooms (in reality only sink and toilet while shared showers in the hallway -- nice, clean and lockable, but booking.com should still have correct info)

Very cool gimmick on the prison topic. Very comfortable beds, nice staff, easy parking (incl. EV charging) and good breakfast even though self service from the fridge. Walking distance from downtown city centre and from the business area.

Fantastic and eye-opening experience. Really recommend. Simple, but sufficient breakfast. Great staff.

Audun is a great host, telling all about the ex prison's history, for children an insight in how and why not to become a criminal with a good educational value. The beds are very comfortabel. The aptmosphere relaxed and inviting.

Original experience in nice renovated and adapted prison. Prompt self check in is very practical. Accessible parking, quiet area and lovely neighborhood with good restaurants.

Would be great with a curtain around the toilet (who is places openly in the room)

Breakfast was simple but good. Put out on a table right in front of the reception desk. Help yourself with cofee, etc.

Very friendly & helpfull host, cosy atmosphere. Wonderfully repurposed facilities with respect for the original. Unique experience.

Only that it wasn’t en suite. Everything else fabulous

We had just got off a tall ship having been on board for 3 weeks and awake on watch from 4 am . We walked up the hill to the hotel and we’re exhausted and should have been too early for check in. We were delighted to be shown to a room and an amazing powerful shower and soft bed!! Slept so well

The staff didn't my know duty of confidentiality. I also missed a few more options at the breakfast table, or information on where to send in information about food allergy. I also missed a little TV in my cell.

The history, the cleaning, the aria and my bed.

The cooling system from the kitchen outside the room was very loud.

Interesting experience sleeping in an old prison, Quiet village, about 10min walking distance from the centre.

Everything was great, the guy at the reception was very polite and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there.

nothing, it’s quite basic, but that’s part of the concept.

Authentic stay with special atmosphere. great welcome by the host and manager Audun Garthe. He as a former prisoner gave us a very nice and emotional tour trough the property. He gave us a lot to think about and made the stay into something extraordinary.

It was a warm weekend. The room (cell) got really warm. But it was for the rest a nice experience.

Booking was easy. Realty good price if booking early. Nice and helpful staff!

Nothing really, it was basic but much more comfortable than we were expecting and it was reasonable pricing for Norway. The room did get a bit hot though.

Cool experience getting to stay in an old jail, and honestly nice to have access to a private toilet and sink in the room (even prison style). We found the bed pretty comfortable and were pleasantly surprised to find a well stocked kitchen available for guest use. Small grab and go breakfast available for guests in the morning just give yourself enough time to brew coffee if you have an early start! Free parking available. Everything was clean.

Interesting facility. Great history, tour with daily leader was so interesting. The children that were there were having a great time dressing in the provided prison clothes and playing escape! Escape rooms, murder mysteries and amazing party facilities. Make the most of your stay and enjoy!

Nice bed and good location

I would say the place is a thematic hostel with a historic background. Super cool. The location is excellent. The breakfast was a VIP service (upon request) but there is room for improvement. The bed was very comfortable. Audun was extremely welcoming, kind and service minded!

It was an adventure and and an experience. You can learn about the history of the place and Norwegian penitentiary system Almost gave my lawyer-brother an heart attack when I called him from the prison.
