As a prison experience this is a fantastic choice.. The manager is a former inmate and the history itselv is worth it All... Before we arrived, we joked about that the Breakfast would be bread and water.. It was almost like that... Not continental 😊 As a hotel experience it is not the choice...

Hadde et kort, men fint opphold her med barnebarnet. Var stort å gå på oppdagelsesferd og spille airhockey og bordtennis i kjelleren. Enkel og god frokost! Kommer gjerne igjen.

Vårt opphold på fengselshotellet i Arendal
Fjernsynet på rommet var umulig å stille inn for oss. Et vanlig TV med flere kanaler bør være obligatorisk. Det manglet Teposer til frokost. Ellers var det greit. Vi hadde et greit og billig opphold.

Dusj på gangen, enkelt innredet rom med toalettskålen, vask og speil i rommet. Bruksanvisning for avansert tv vil bli laget. Hyggelig betjening som kunne nåes på telefon når drikke var tilstede. Interessant konsept, dekket mine behov fir et par better

Fengsel hotell i Arendal
En veldig artig opplevelse, ikke som alle vanlige hotell. Morsomt å se hvordan det er i fengsel, historie. Enkle fine rene rom, toalett på rommet. Dusjene kunne vært bedre vasket. Hadde også vært fint med lys ved sengene. Sengene helt ok. Frokosten var enkel men med det du trengte. Kort tur ned til sentrum .
