As a prison experience this is a fantastic choice.. The manager is a former inmate and the history itselv is worth it All... Before we arrived, we joked about that the Breakfast would be bread and water.. It was almost like that... Not continental 😊 As a hotel experience it is not the choice...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fengselshotellet – langt fra soning, te

Reiste spontant til Sørlandet for å få med meg Hove Rock Festival lørdag 14., og trengte et sted å bo i siste liten. Logget meg inn på Hotels.com og fikk napp – ett ledig rom igjen. Jackpot! Ringte i forkant for å høre om tidlig innsjekk – null stress. Sen utsjekk dagen etter? Også helt uproblematisk. Servicen satt som et skudd fra hyggelig og travel betjening, som virkelig gjør en innsats i det som fortsatt føles som et levende, gammelt fengsel – bare med fri tilgang til frokostbuffeten 😇 Frokosten hadde alt jeg trengte. Og opplevelsen denne gangen? Mye, mye bedre enn sist. Kanskje var det stemningen, kanskje festivalen – men mest av alt: tryggheten og atmosfæren her. Kommer gjerne tilbake – frivillig! 🙌

Sjovt, Identisk men ikke for mange dage.

Ideen med at indrette et hotel i en nedlagt fængsel er fin. Stedet er også identisk. Desværre er der meget lyt og dermed kan man høre de rum som ligger i nærheden. Rengøringen af baderum kunne også være bedre.
