    The hotel is charming - a tastefully converted prison! The room we had was perfect - everything worked! The hotel is perfectly situated for the Viking Line terminal and is right on the number 4 tram route which makes getting into the city centre...

    Everything is new and they preserved the old prison! Staff is great and the location (with Tram 4 passing in front of the hotel) is also amazing.

    Amazing building, a really well thought out conversion of the old city prison keeping it's original iron staircases and railings. An art exhibition on the corridor walls. It's all very quirky but at the same time low-key and not at all...
