Great location in the Old Town of Visby. Unique experience to sleep in a prison :) Kitchen with full facilities. Shared bathroom and showers were clean. Long dark curtain for a good night sleep. Majority of guests were seniors so very quiet during night.

Difficult to communicate with staff. I paid for the towel and linens 20 days before arrival and asked for confirmation. I got no confirmation.. Room is cold in autumn. No soap in the shared toiled so you need to take your personal soap when going to the toilet.

The building itself is a former prison, so it looks very cool. The location is great, next to the old town and the ferry terminal.The rooms are small but comfortable. They have a place to park bikes and motorbikes

Showers and toilets are separate and in poor condition. You will have to pay for bedding and towels, and this is not stated in the room rental, or you need to have everything of your own.

Hostel in a great location. It was clean and quiet inside. The room was sufficient to sleep in, nice view of the sea... Bathrooms clean, plenty of hot water always.

Practically zero response to messages in Booking. we didn't receive the code to open the entrance door, so we had to wait outside the hostel for someone to come out. Keys already prepared for us inside. What would we do if we arrived at night, I don't know?

Location is super convenient for me as I took the ferry, and the hostel is right outside the ferry port. The bed was nice and the room was fairly okay, albeit a little small. The price was also fairly reasonable.

Not much, it was pretty okay.

You get what you pay for. It was clean and staff was really nice. Good for short stays since bathroom is shared but still very cozy atmosphere and very centric. There is a space outside to grill

Small space in rooms but expected. After all it was a prison 😜

It felt so homily, everyone staying at be the hotel are really social. It felt like I am part of the family. The location of the hotel is incredible. The ferry is close by, there's a ICA in 5 min walk.

The bed and mattress could be more comfortable.

Very convenient location - 6 minutes from ferry and right outside of the old town of visby. It has an interesting history and deserve to tour around. We didn't get chance to encounter the staff. It's a nice stay overall and very good price for the island.

Exceptional location to a very good price. Everything worked as it should with keys etc.

The beds are of very simple quality, but what can you expect for the price... With double mattresses it was fine.

There’s a cafe right in front of the hostel where you can get good food a bit cheaper than in the restaurants in the city. Nice location and possibility to store luggage in a separate room before check-in.

You need to bring your own bedsheets or you rent them for additional sum.
