It's a nice building in a wonderful location. But after all it was meant to be a prison so no comfort for prisoners! As much as the staff was nice, the room is way too small. Our heads kept bumping into the bunk bed. The cold air came through the bottom of the iron door and it felt cold at night. I like the cafeteria and the breakfast. The location is great. ##### ZHENG Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Amenities Very quaint place - lots of character!!
