    Terrific vibe. It was fascinating to be staying in this historic prison. The breakfast buffet had lots of good options and the staff was terrific. The bar was a fun place to have some drinks, and the outside area with ambient music was a chill...

    The whole hotel atmosphere is very nice. As an old prison you can feel the history there with thick brick walls. Very good breakfast with lots of choices. Please remember to try their famous oat porridge with some jam, very good. I have stayed...
