Lock in a great price for Hotell Gamla Fängelset – rated 8.6 by recent guests!
Great staff that could help when I had to check out before designated time. Great environment and very close to everything in town. I were on a festival that day so it were perfect to be able to have a bed nearby when its -10 degrees and being a little drunk and poorly dressed. Also the Swish payment option is really good !
I liked that it was easy walking distance into the center of town and to the University. I think it was a good distance in the middle. I also liked that when my luggage was delayed, it was put in my room while I was out at the conference. The kitchen facility was nice and they had cracker bread, jam, and other items like they promised.
Hotel is ancient prison, but now very comfy. Plus collection of design books in the room.
Very original hotel/hostel, located in an old prison building. Nice architecture/design. Friendly people, good breakfast.
This property has a very special atmosphere; it has been done up beautifully with natural materials, and everything combines into a fine experience. The shared showers (separate for women and men) are pleasant and clean; soap is provided, so you only have to bring your towel and the towelling bathrobe which comes with the room. - Ideal for a single traveller who does not want to pay for a hotel double room with en-suite bathroom - and much, much nicer than a hostel or youth hostel!
We booked a double room and got the room Rosén. Super big and had everything we needed. The shared bathroom was close to our room. Breakfast was good and had lots of option. The employees were really friendly and really wanted to help you!
The hotel had everything I needed for a short stay, incl. good WiFi and breakfast, comfortable bed, guest kitchen with fridges and a microwave, quietness in the nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt welcome and like at home. I stayed in a cozy single room with shared bathrooms - both were very clean and served my needs (no queuing). Handy location within a walking distance and between the center and the university.
Very very nice staff, beautiful and cool hotel, good breakfast, very clean. Highly recommend!

Cancellation policy is not clear, I booked for 7 nights then when I arrived I paid for 3 nights and I had emergency and I wanted to check out after the 3 nights, hotel owner is so cheap tried at the beginning to ask me to pay the whole duration and then after calling booking customer service tried to cheat and ask for 3 nights more at the end she asked me to pay for one night more to be able to leave.
The historical of the site.
I found the bed too soft.
The staff were really friendly and spoke good English. The breakfast was yummy.
A few noisy guests but i guess that is unavoidable sometimes.
History-feeling in the old prison cell. Quiet.
