"Beautifully renovated former prison with a unique atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, the room was often too cold,"

6.0

The old prison is well renovated. The beds are confortables.

It was very cold in the hostel, especially at the beginning of winter. The bathroom was not very clean, and the windows were constantly left open. After having a cold shower because the water wouldn’t stay warm for long, it was far from ideal. The heating was turned off in the morning, and we had to ask the staff to switch it on again in the evening because the room was freezing. We also had no control over the heating ourselves, which made the stay quite uncomfortable.
