8/10 Very good

History over comfort, be prepared

Really nice friendly staff in a historic building. The WiFi was reliable and the bathroom was nicely appointed. The shower was a glass cubicle in the room due to the constraints of the old building. It's pretty echoey in there (again because of the old building) and the floor in the room is wooden floorboards with gaps in them big enough to lose a ring down, so maybe don't bring your favourite jewellery! It was very squeaky to walk around. In addition, there was no bedside table which was a shame, instead some ugly metal lockers which presumably were meant to fit the jail "theme". Overall it was fine and well worth staying if you are fascinated with the history, perhaps if you prefer comfort and quiet, you should choose a more modern hotel!

Our room was a little small. Looking into other rooms they were all different. Some were larger, some smaller, all unique. Great breakfast! Short walk to Amberg!

Alt er rent og godt, det fungerer og har moderne faciliteter, men det er et gammelt fængsel med tremmer for ruderne og fængsels dører, hvilket man gør meget ud af som så har givet en masse inspiration, det er et super godt tema hotel der bare fanger en 🤗

En tur i luksus fængsel

Fantastisk sted, tænk sig at komme i fængsel uden at gøre noget ulovligt, fantastisk sted som stadig emmer af sin fortid, tro mod fortiden er det super godt renoveret og konceptet er klart

Originelle Zimmer in ehemaligen Gefängnis

Sehr schön renovierte Unterkunft, originelle Zimmer in ehemaligen Zellen, perfekte Aufteilung. Ruhige und doch sehr zentrale Lage, gute Parkmöglichkeiten, sehr ansprechendes und leckeres Frühstück mit großer Auswahl. Wunderschöne Sitzgelegenheiten im Innenhof. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Außergewöhnliches, erlebenswertes Hotelkonzept

Ein außergewöhnliches „Knast“-Hotelkonzept, bei dem Staunen, Spaß, Wohnlichkeit u. Aufenthaltsqualität mit Liebe zum Detail verbunden wird. Durch das sehr freundliche Personal fühlt man sich gut aufgehoben im „Knast“ u. könnt es sicherlich auch länger dort aushalten. Eingebunden in die sehenswerte Amberger Altstadt, sowie auch Bahnhofsnähe, kann auch das Auto gut stehen gelassen werden. Für mich war’s ein gelungenes „Gesamtpaket“ u. für mögliche folgende Amberg-Besuche trete ich gerne wieder freiwillig die „Haft im Knasthotel“ an.

Das Hotel war einmal ein Gefängnis. Das Thema ist äußerst originell und detailgetreu umgesetzt. Macht richtig Spaß immer wieder neue Kleinigkeiten zu entdecken. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück läßt keine Wünsche offen. Die Lage in dieser bezaubernden Stadt ist optimal. Wir waren rundum begeistert und kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.

Wir waren für zwei Nächte „eingebuchtet“ und es hat alles gestimmt. Unsere Zelle war klein, aber fein. Das Personal war super nett und kompetent. Am Frühstücksbuffet blieben keine Wünsche offen, es wurde auch alles immer wieder aufgefüllt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
