Different...in a good way
This is a unique property which made for a fun stay. (My gosh though, those "prison" doors are heavy.) Everything was very clean. It made the shared bathroom factor a total non-issue. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic stay in spacious annex
We had a fantastic stay in the hotel's annex apartment. The apartment was so spacious, clean and comfortable. We were able to get a great night's sleep, my partner away from my snoring! Check in was quick and friendly. Breakfast was a good continental selection.

Stayed here five years ago, eccentric place, old county jail, as a retired nurse who had worked at a county jail and a state prison, I was delighted by the place. Tack så mycket

Wonderful stay at GF
Stayed one night in "annexet." We picked up the key before 1 PM so 2 hrs before check-in time, great! The little house was amazing with all the space, kitchen and own bathroom :) Bed was a little too soft for my taste but still slept pleasantly. Breakfast was just the basics but very good and filling. Lady at the reception was very nice though there were problems with my credit card and/or the internet. Free parking very great. Close to the city centre so could walk everywhere there. Wifi worked fine. Would def stay here again! Toppen!

Mysigt hotell men dålig sömn
Det här är ett charmigt och rustikt hotell med mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. Sängarna är dock rätt så knöliga och kudden alldeles för hög. Det är även lyhört mellan cellerna. Tyvärr sov jag knappt alls under min vistelse.
