    We had such an amazing experience at Jailhouse Accommodation! The building itself is simply stunning, and the rooms are cool and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we loved the quirky jail theme throughout the hostel. The TV room was a great place to relax, and everything was super clean. The WiFi was also excellent. we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend it.

    The accommodation is conveniently located right by the bus stop, making it easy to explore the city. it is in close proximity to the railway station, which is great for those who are traveling by train. there is a supermarket nearby, allowing guests to easily stock up on supplies.

    The communal toilet cubicles are quite small and not particularly well-maintained.

    The location of the accommodation is perfect for those who want to stay in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is conveniently located near a big park, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere. there are plenty of food places in the suburb, making it easy to find a variety of dining options.

    The kitchen, while well, equipped, could get a bit messy at times due to heavy usage. it was cleaned daily, so the mess didn't linger for long.

    Unique concept, staying in renovated prison cells. Convenient location near cafes and bars. Good for budget travelers. Modernized while maintaining historical charm. Secure lockers and device charging available.

    I had a fantastic time staying at Jailhouse Accommodation. The unique concept of renovating an old prison into a hostel was absolutely fascinating. The rustic look and feel of the place really added to its charm. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel right at home. The beds were clean and comfortable, and despite the shared facilities, I found them to be adequate. The location was a bit far from the town center, but having a car made it convenient for me to explore. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this quirky and beautifully done accommodation.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this unique hotel and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The location of this place in a calm, nice neighborhood was perfect for me. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, yet still within walking distance. The staff here were extremely helpful, especially when it came to explaining what to do in town. They were quick to respond to my requests and made sure I had everything I needed. The room service and dry cleaning options were a great convenience, and I also appreciated the on-site bicycle hire and grocery shopping service.

    I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    This place is pretty good for a budget hotel. They offered some complimentary items that were a nice touch during my Easter weekend stay. It was close to some cool attractions and easy to get around with public transport. The rooms were alright and had good security. there was a really nice outdoor area to relax in and hang out with other guests.

    There were some aspects that were subpar. The bathrooms were not very well maintained and could be cleaner.

    The accommodation offers a unique experience with a rich history. You can stay in a former jail cell with updated facilities, including private bathrooms. The location is convenient for travel with easy access to the railway station. Other facilities such as bike rental and a cinema contribute to an enjoyable stay. Staff members are helpful and accommodating.

    The check-in process may be confusing, as reception is not always manned during check-in hours.

    We had a great time at this place! The original Victorian Gothic jail offers a quirky twist to your regular backpackers accommodation. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, and the complimentary 500MB of free Wi-Fi per person is a nice touch. The location is perfect - close to local bars, eateries, and public transport. The comfortable beds with linen, blankets, and towels provided ensured we had a good night's sleep. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the front area was perfect for enjoying breakfast.

    This venue was a great experience. The historic preservation of the old prison site was impressive, and the facilities were luxurious and provided enhanced comfort.

    Spending Christmas in a unique location was definitely a highlight! the atmosphere was cozy and festive with other travelers mingling and sharing stories. the kitchen was well-equipped with everything you need to cook a delicious meal. Bonus points for the free tea and coffee on offer. the location was fantastic with easy access to public transport and some great local eateries just a short walk away.

    The room was a bit on the small side and lacked proper heating, so make sure to pack some extra layers. the noise level could get pretty high, especially in the common areas, so light sleepers should bring some earplugs.

    I loved the atmosphere and uniqueness of this hotel. The rooms, which used to be old cells, were renovated and cozy, and the hot showers had a great water pressure. Good laundry facilities available with industrial machines. The staff was welcoming and always helpful.

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
