Former prison with small rooms(cell) but everything is there. The beds are not soft!!

I was the only guest. Very central. Old town easy to access by walking
Wolfgang, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

Shared kitchen was dirty. Common areas smelled bad.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked that it was very close to the ferry and the only few things I didn't like was that the bed made very loud creaking noises and the last thing is something a little more personal and that is that I would have liked to have some more directions for where the baggage room was and which way to find the rooms that one was given. But otherwise I had a very good last night sleep in Visby.

Solid hostel in Visby

Overall a good stay. Kitchen felt a bit run down. And if you are tall you will for sure bounce your head in the door damper in the low cell doors. They are mounted so there is a peace of meral sticking out a foot into the room. Luckily i wasnt so tall that I got them in the eye but my forehead took some beatings. But what I couldnt understand is why they have motorbikes inside the halls and saloons as decoration. They take up space, and hinder walking, and the space could be used much better. In addition they look ugly and out of the place. The decision to put them there is the dumbest thing I have seen in any hostel. Otherwise the establishment delivered to expectations.

Perfekt under Stockholmsveckan!

Jag och min vän bokade detta boende till stockholmsveckan och vi älskade det! Man kan beskriva att det är som att bo på kollo, små rum, allting är inte 100% bra kvalité och renligheten kan ifrågasättas, MEN upplevelsen, personerna och mysigheten var helt fantastisk! Trevlig personal och tydliga instruktioner på hur man checkar in och ut (det var skönt att man kunde checka in själv). Det var även väldigt trevligt att det fanns många ”allrum” både ute och inomhus. Men även den härliga uteserveringen! Supermysig servering där man har en väldigt fin utsikt över hamnen. Det erbjöds liveband (Dogge doggelito) med mat och dryck. Vi kollade även fotbollsmatchen där, vilket var väldigt roligt. Vi håller inte med om dessa dåliga recensioner! Man får helt enkelt det man betalar för! Om man vill ha mer privat (inte ungdomar som festar till 7 på morgonen) så ska man inte boka vistelse under Stockholmsveckan, och om man vill ha ett ”fräschare” ställe så får man lägga några hundralappar till och bo någon annanstans! Detta boende är för dig som är en pank ungdom som gillar att festa och socialisera sig, för fängelset blir som ett eget litet samhälle.

Fem nätter i fängelse.

Trevligt vandrarhem nära till allt. Med gångavstånd till Gotlandsfärjan, glassmagasinwt ich cykeluthyrningen. Sonen på 13 år tyckte att det var spännande att få bo på ett fängelse! Några negativa saker; knarrande och lite gnisslande våningssängar i metall. Dammigt ffa i fönsternischen. Ingen källsortering av förpackningar i köket förutom glas och matrester/ kompost. Men vi trivdes ändå bra och återkommer gärna nästa sommar.
Sonen gillade fönster-smygen. Men det området städades nog aldrig.
5 minuters gångpromenad från Färjan!

Insolite du fait que l’auberge a investi l’ancienne prison.Pratique à proximité du centre de Visby et du terminal des ferries.

Bra läge med dålig standard och service

Bodde som tur var bara här en natt. Läget är prima och de gemensamma toaletterna fräscha. Dock låg det gammalt snus och lager av damm på sängkanten, en av sängbottnarna var sönder och dörrhandtaget höll på att trilla av. Ingen svarade på varken telefon eller mail när vi försökte få kontakt med personalen.

Lite kluvna känslor efter vår vistelse på Visby Fängelse. Väl medveten om att det är vandrarhem och standard därefter. Samtidigt en unik miljö och unikt läge som man borde kunna gör lite mer med relativt enkla medel. In- och utcheckning enkel med tydliga instruktioner. Innergården fin men stökig. Samma sak här, ganska enkla medel skulle skapa en mer inbjudande miljö. Bra pris vilket kompenserar en del.

Undermåligt boende för ett acceptabelt pris.

Okej för att stanna en sen natt till en tidig morgon, men det finns tyvärr flera faktorer som drar ner betyget, främst att faciliteten känns ofräsch och behöver upprustas. Ytterst lite ansträngning hade krävts för att uppgradera faciliteten. Priset kompenserar något, men borde ärligt talat vara ännu billigare med tanke på nästintill obefintligt underhåll/ omkostnader. In/ utcheckning är smidigt, vilket är tacksamt om man endast sover här en natt, vilket är det enda jag skulle rekommendera om man anländer sent med färjan. Kontakt med personalen brukar vara väldigt svårt, fick svar på 1/2 mail. Oklart ang. parkeringsplats. Sängarna är dåliga och madrasserna har fläckar/ bör ersättas eller rengöras med textilvårdsmaskin.

安く済ませるならよし、クオリティ重視ならなし

とにかく安く済ませたい方以外にはおすすめできません。 まず、宿泊日当日にメッセージが来なかったため建物のコードが分かりませんでした。 建物に入った後、鍵を手にしましたが、部屋のドアが鍵を使っても空きませんでした。 そのため、スタッフ不在の時間だったので電話をかけましたがかからず、このアプリでオペレーターに相談しました。その後また同じ番号にかけるように指示をされたので、かけるとかかりました。事情を伝えるとスタッフの方が駆けつけてくださり、ドアを開けてくださいました。 (結局ドアの建て付けが悪かっただけで、力強く押せば開きました) 水場が違う建物にあるため、トイレやシャワーの時は雨の中移動しなければなりませんでした。
