    An awesome experience. The receptionist, who was also the guide for their private museum, was extremely knowledgable and enthousiastic - he even gave us a tour at 10 pm when we arrived late. A truly unique experience.

    This is a unique place to stay! Its exciting and a bit scary but very interesting. Its not luxury, very basic but thats the point and makes it more like a prison experience. I would highly recommend this place.

    Amazing experience. You should keep in mind it is an old prison, so don’t expect a normal hotel. If you are into it, it is really unique to sleep in a old military prison
