Fun place, hard to check in

Fun property but getting check in info required multiple calls, emails, and eventually Hotels.com intervention. Shouldn't be that much work by the guests to confirm check in and get a door code.

Fängelset Hotell & Konferens

It was an experience to stay in a small cell. Nice bed and great breakfast. Wifi was not good in room. And there was also no curtain which made it very bright in the room early morning.

Mycket prisvärt!

Smidig incheckning, trots att receptionen var stängd. 6 kvadratmeter sovrum och 3 kvadratmeter badrum. Mer behöver man inte. Att det sedan frukosten levererade både kallt & varmt var extra trevligt. Mycket prisvärt!

Fængslende oplevelse ;)

Originalt og skønt værelse - selvfølgelig var det småt- men det er jo en del af oplevelsen, når man bor i et tidligere fængsel. Gode senge og super beliggenhed.

Rekommenderas

Haft en fin helg i Västervik och bodde på Fängelse Hotellet som verkligen varit till belåtenhet o rekommenderas varmt. Bodde i en liten cell med dusch o toa. Skön bred säng, tv på väggen. Trevlig personal. Mycket bra o god frukost. Perfekt parkeringsplats som är gratis.
En av ingångarna till hotellet.
Går man via Rastgården kommer man till nästa ingång o receptionen.
Där är receptionen till höger.
