I loved the idea of sleeping in a former prison and I enjoyed the experience so much that I can't wait to go back.

I would only interssieren: as the cells were heated before. Did the prisoners bitterly cold. The idea of rebuilding, a former prison to the hostel and hotel, you have succeeded very great. Without any loss of comfort (rather the reverse: everything was great: Frühstückbüfet, restaurant, bathroom, etc., etc.) still remains the traditional sense of imprisonment. Thank you for your short break in our beautiful hostel. I've already begeitert Mosna many of the Gefängnihostel-Stockholm - Långholmen reported. kindly Peter Jonscher

They have done an excellent job of maintaining the feel of a prison.

recommended for horror movie fans, really. the prison-turned-hostel has a lot of dummies on the corridor, and as for my stay, it was the low season, so i rarely see anybody else besides me and the dummies. it is definately creepy. also the place is simply too far away from the metro station, and the signs to the hostel are either picture (not the HI logo) or Swedish, the place is too hard to find. they have clearer version of directions on their broschure, but they did not put it in the direction on the HI website. But very unique experience indeed.

Hostel Overview
