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!

Great and unique hotel with a prison theme. Centrally located in Amberg, with a short walk to “everything”. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.

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!

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.

Einzigartiges Ambiente, da es sich um ein ehemaliges Gefängnis handelt. Das Thema wird überall durchgezogen, das macht Spaß!

Schöner Aufenthalt in einem sehr interessanten Hotel. Spannend den Umbau des Gefängnisses in den Bilder im Zimmer und anderen Stellen nachzuvollziehen.
Eine absolute Empfehlung!
