Absolutely loved going to jail! Really bizzare experience and unforgettable. Cells were authentic and quite small but thankfully the beds were comfortable. Shared communal facilities were fine with enclosed shower cubicles so I didn’t have to worry about dropping the soap. Breakfast was really good. The only minor niggle was that noise really carries so if someone is spending the night talking loudly on their phone you are privy to their conversations throughout the night. But can’t blame the place for some rude self-absorbed loud guests. Great hostel-style experience.

The hostel is unique because it used to be a jail, and its gates, blocks, and grids have historical value.
