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.

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!

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.
