Very unique staying in a converted prison
Overall a definite return hotel
Only a fixed single course dinner each night
Tough if you have dietary restrictions
Had on site parking but you did need to pay

A very nicely renovated hotel with history of having been a prison….. at a nice location and had a nice calm atmosphere.
Very centrally located near the city center and nearby the oarks and river which has a beautiful walking path.
To top it off the dinner which was included was very very tasteful and well prepared by the Algerian chef.
Parking was free of charge and well organised at the oarking lot next to the hotel.
Nothing I can think of.

Excellent location, just a short walk from the city centrum. Superb breakfast and the complimentary evening meal exceeded our expectations.
The only negative thing I can think of is that our room did not have bedside tables (because of lack of space on the sides of the bed)

A great stay in this centrally located hotel. We liked the fact that it was a nicely refurbished former prison with an interesting history. We enjoyed visiting the onsite museum on the ground floor. The breakfasts and dinners, which were included, were really delicious and plentiful. Dinner included soup, a lovely main course, bread & salads. Parking onsite is limited, I’d advise checking with the hotel reception before arrival. Thanks to the friendly staff for our two night stay.
Our room 110 on the ground floor was lit up at night by the spotlight outside which shone on the building.
