Amazing place. I loved it. Breakfast was superb. I would love to come again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Hostel style to the max. Pros— comfy clean bed. Quiet. Room is big enough. Cons— no drinking water to be found apart from in bathrooms. Toilet down corridor was flooded. One more toilet for the floor had non functioning lock. Mega prison vibes— sad pics of ex prisoners adorn the walls. Weird. No breakfast before 8am on weekends.

An interesting place

Great hotel inside an old prison. Modern but not to modern so it still has lots of character. The hallways echo a little just how it would have when it was a prison.

Cool prison hotel with great history

Super cool Hotel, its an old prison. very clean, very good breakfast, super confy beds. the doors are extreemly small since its the original doors for the prison cells. The staits in the middel of the hotel is low so you can hit your head. Rooms have very high celings. very comfy, cool history, great location.

Quite ok for the money, after all you are in a former prison with a museum feel. There were sometimes problems with the room cards, they didn't always work. Breakfast ok, parking in front of the hotel ok!

It is a prison! You can feel it, however it is cool to experience it for a night. We got to check-in right when the Front Desk was closing for the day. A but eerie inside when no-one is around and you have. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Okay-ish breakfast. Overall great for a night!

Fint opphold! God seng, men savnet nok en vask på rommet. Få med deg kapellet og det lille museet (lån nøkkel i resepsjonen). Frokosten var god .

Mycket bra enkelt boende nära hamn och centrum. Roligt med ett fängelse omgjort till hotell/vandrarhem. Uppskattade även att frukost ingick.

Vill du bo stort och rymligt, välj ett annat hotell MEN gillar du boende med intressant historia, fräscha små fängelseceller rekommenderas detta boende fullt ut! Kul upplevelse med ett fint renoverat gammalt fängelse och ypperlig placering mycket centralt i Mariestad!

2/10 Poor

スタッフは丁寧で親切。満足でした。 部屋は発展途上国ごとく、何も無く。トイレやシャワーは廊下に出ないと無い。共同の場所でシャワーは鍵も掛からない。 部屋は本当のそのまんまの部屋でベッドと椅子一脚、小さなテーブル以外には何もない。 スタッフは午後8時にはいなくなり、週末は見当たらず。 部屋には洗面台は無く、水が無い。お茶/コーヒー用のポットは共同スペースに行かないと無い。現代人ならせめて必要な物が全て無いホテル。ホテルとは言えない。当然紅茶/お茶やコーヒーも全くない。コップも無い。ただのベッドがある部屋。鏡も無かった。 二度とここには泊まらない。親切なスタッフには申し訳ないけど、施設の設備の無さで評価は最悪です。 その割には値段は普通に高い。 元牢屋という事で人気があるらしいけど…なら攻めて牢屋の雰囲気を出したり、その辺り苦労して欲しい。例えばお客さんには犯罪の種類や刑の長さ、こういう事を事前に決めたり、温泉では浴衣を着るように、囚人の服をお客さんに渡したり。そうすれば少なからずお客さん同士で盛り上がったりする事もあるのに… 面白い施設の残念な使い方…考えて盛り上げて欲しい。最低限の現代人が必要とする設備は導入すべき。

Rent & fräscht hotell. Stort plus att det är beläget så nära hamnen, kort promenad till restauranger mm. Väldigt ont om parkeringsplatser utanför hotellet & lite dåligt skyltat. Frukosten var bra & fräscht, trevligt med uteplatsen där man kunde sitta & äta. Väldigt nöjda med vår vistelse.

Veldig hyggelig og hjelpsom personaler. Frokost buffé er åpent til alle og de har en stor variant av forskjellige ting man kan spise. Hotellet er ganske ryddig til enhver tid, og jeg må bare nevne at rom standarden var mye høyere enn det jeg forventet( også veldig ryddig) Det var en trivelig opplevelse med tanken på at det var en fengsel i et eller annet gang i fortiden. Og om du skal ta deg en rom med er i tvil grunnet felles do og bad. Jeg skal si det rett ut, dusjene er rene og har nok plass, selv om toalettene er litt trange. Men man bor nok ikke i doen 😅. Håper du er litt mer kjent med hotellet nå. Skulle ønsket jeg tok bilder. Men det holder nok med de du ser fra dem 😏. Takk for meg
