    A wonderful, comfortable, peaceful night's sleep, all in an ex-prison!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Twin Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    For the price I paid, nothing could have been better, it exceeded my expectations by far. The location might be a problem for some people, but for me it was fine.

    Every now and again I stay somewhere that exceeds my expectations...this place was one of those times. A very friendly man at reception, a spacious shower room with natural window light, and a room with everything I needed including a comfortable bed. All this in an ex-prison! I had a better night's sleep here than I had in a Hilton hotel in Rome a few weeks earlier. During the night is was so quiet, not surprising when you see how thick the walls are! I would definitely stay here again.

    Location is bit far from central if you are travelling without car. Room was little bit cold and you need to wait warm shower ~5min. Room dosent have anything in price. Everything is extra cost, -bedsheets, towel, water, breakfast..

    It's a cool opportunity to stay in a former prison. It's hostel and museum 2in1 :) Clean and nice.

    Although i do understand the reasoning, i didn't quite appreciated having to pay for sheets and towels.

    The room was small, but it felt just the right size for a solo traveler, it was clean and had good facilities. The breakfast was amazing, very varied, well worth the money. The whole hotel is big and lovely decorated. And the museum onsite is worth a look.

    the room was too small for us(tall persons), but acceptable depending the price.

    Breakfast was good, staff were nice and location is close to the public transportation. The prison concept is very inspiring. The whole staying process was 9/10 for us.

    The location is sooooo hard to find, could be great if there's an instruction on how to get there for non-locals. 20 mins to the centrals using trains, and 1 hour using the bus. Uses bus more because its closer to the locations. I also got lost one time as well loses 2 hours of my time to find the locations or maybe its just me who is bad with maps :"). But still the staff that welcomes us really make the whole trip worth it.

    The staff is fantastic, they were very friendly and understanding. I come in late night and they are still quite energetic and welcoming, especially after a long travel. There's a museum you can go during your visit! And its certainly a cultural experience since the place have a history behind it. The room is also very clean. But still compared to other hostel

    The first day we arrived. The receptionist kind of scolded us for their sheet/towel policy even though we reserved a private room.

    Clean, close to metro and comfortable

    In twin room it is not a pleasure at all to get to the bed at the top and to sleep there being worried not to fall down.

    It is a former prison, so it is like to leave in the museum . Very good breakfast. Nice staff and surroundings

    I must have missed the information about brining your own bed sheets and towels, but I could rent these things at the property and it was not too expensive. Given this fact, maybe it was more expensive than I expected. The bed was also not super comfortable, but okay for a night or two.

    The staff was really nice and helpful. The whole place was very clean and quite, including the room. There are lots of nice spaces for sitting and hanging out. The rooms are also comfy and the atmosphere is special, which of course was expected. The area was nice and easy to get to and just want I needed.

    If you do not like to walk and want to use public transportation, this place may not be for you. Hostel room size is not enough for big luggages.

    Room and bathroom was very clean. Staff is very kind and helpful. Place is in the middle of quite island. There are lots of place to take a rest in the hotel.

    Check out was a bit early for New Years Day, but otherwise great!

    Very comfortable and centrally located hostel. We stayed for New Years and were beyond happy with the value for money. Always fun to stay accomodation that commits to a theme and Långholmen does it very well.

    The location is faraway from the public transportation and the weather was not suitable to walk with luggage and so.

    The experience of living in a historical place with the prison theme was unique.

    I was a bit shocked you needed to pay extra for the duvet and for the towels! This maybe typical in Sweden, but still...Also, the beds, even considering the constraints of the cell's size, may be made just a little more comphy. Still, it is an exceptional place, all in all.

    It is just exciting to be hosted in this old prison, amazingly well turned into a hotel; almost every detail cared, studied. The site is exceptional, and the whole interior, just jaw-dropping.
