Traveller reviews

“Go to prison on your own terms..”
26 Mar 2025
Its a prison whats not to like. It offers the opportunity to sleep in a prison without going through the hassle of breaking laws, going through the judiciary process and being detained at someone elses pleasure 🙏 The staff we SUPER friendly and couldnt of been more pleasant. Breakfast was decent and remember its a HOSTEL not a luxury hotel , however its also a social place and i chatted with other guests.. its lovely to not be cowed by snobbery and for me it did the job as advertises. Its all you really need and i will be going back with friends and family to explore Leeuwarden a little more. Its a fair walk approx 15 mins to the centre but thats exercise ..

“it was a amazing experience a suggest this hostel to my friends as well”

room was really good, just we could not keep our foods in fridge since it disappeared.

“Great for a night at a unique downtown location”
09 Mar 2025
It is a unique experience to sleep in an old prison (cell). Staff was friendly, showers good and clean and all at a good location. Breakfast was good too.

“Enjoy staying over in a former prison!”
05 Mar 2025
It was a really good experience so far! I know that staying in a former prison could sound weird at first but it was a good experience. The rooms were modernised to be comfy while keeping the original aspect and details :)

“Overall good, but making your own bed after paying a few hundred is a joke.”
02 Mar 2025
Location was ideal, few minutes walk from the main street - shops etc. Bars and restaurants were very close also. Train and bus station was maybe 10/15 minute walk, there is also a bus stop directly outside that would bring you straight there.

“It was amazing and would come back for a stay and will 100% tell friends about it.”
01 Mar 2025
It was very clean and had a taste of originality. The staff was very friendly and nice.

“Exceeded expectations and was very much worth the cost of the stay and is in a great area”
28 Feb 2025
Very cool design while still maintaining the comfort and service of a hospitality company

“Can’t wait to go back”
11 Feb 2025
Loved the staff, the clean facilities and the state of the hostel!

“A unique chance to go to jail😜”
08 Feb 2025
It's an incredible experience. Authentic setting and atmosphere. Just unbelieveble! The rooms are very simple but comfortable. The mattress and pillows are very comfortable. The soundproofing is simply amazing. Toilets and showers are in perfect condition. Wonderful prison. I didn't want to dig down or crawl down a drainpipe to escape from it😆😆

“Superb”
06 Nov 2024
The location was very cool! The hostel was modern and comfortable but did not obscure its origins as a prison facility.
