Amazing place to stay if you want more then just a hotel. The way how they managed to change whole prison into interesting place full of an ideas. If you will be staying there , definitely check out the whole place from top to bottom 😊

“One of a kind experience 🤩”
It was a one of a kind experience. The hotell was true to its origins, and highlighted the things that make the hotell unique. The staff was attentive to the guests and very informative about the locations and the stories that found place at the jail prior to it becoming a hotell. We are already planning our next stay with our son. It’s a must when in Arendal

“We appreciated the uncomplicated style”
It was a super exciting building with lots of stories from the past. Lots of games and entertainment options. Reminded us of a youth hostel. Free parking available. Short distance to walk to the town center.

“A superb and educational place to stay”
Unique, welcoming, educational. Super comfortable, unlike anywhere I’ve stayed. Audun is a brilliant host, gave us a tour which will live with me for a long time. Everyone should stay here at least once. I’ll be back!
