What we liked about the place was the location and historical identity of the place (It is just a 5 minute walk from Luzern Station.) The restaurant was really great at night.

At first we were unsatisfied with the property, but we turned out finding that the stay is quite good.

The room is very clean. We were surprised that the cleaner even washed our personal bowl that is unwashed

There is no hair dryer and kettle. So its a bit inconvenient. In addition, the room is quite small. Its difficult to open two large luggages at the same time.

If you really want to be a prisoner, yes. For a comfortable stay, NO

We knew this is former prison, but didn't expect that they will treat us like prisoners. Rooms are so tiny and not at all comfortable. if one person to get inside, the other one have to walkout to make room.

Too tiny rooms, the toilet is not at all comfortable.

Fab renovated prison cell rooms, close to attractions with great staff!

Great location within an easy walk of the railway station and main attractions, room clean with comfortable bed, super-friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. Loved the novelty of staying in a prison!

Nowhere to put toiletries in bathroom, nowhere to sit other than on bed. I was travelling solo in a room with double bedI cant imagine sharing the space with someone else! These things didnt ruin my stay, I really enjoyed the vibe!

It was unique experience to stay in the cell. Of course, the cell is very small, but there is shower/bathroom inside the cell. The shower water pressure was very strong which provided very great shower experience.
