Among the very few hotels in Västervik, this one is maybe the only one that deserves attention. The scary looking building and the dark history should not fool you, it's very modern and tastefully renovated to sort of alternative hotel. The larger rooms are quite OK, not claiming much luxury but very well furnished and super comfortable. The staff is great! The breakfast is standard but very good and quite enjoyable, as well as the common spaces around. Really interesting place, absolutely deserves a visit.

Fun place, hard to check in

Fun property but getting check in info required multiple calls, emails, and eventually Hotels.com intervention. Shouldn't be that much work by the guests to confirm check in and get a door code.

Annorlunda men bra boende. Fräscht och ljust rum med närhet till restauranger. Innergård med plats för lek och häng i solen. Bra frukost. Det enda som störde var att någon granne sent på kvällen verkade sitta i sitt badrum och prata i telefon och det ekade ner i vårt badrum. Annars har vi inget att klaga på. Kan tänka oss att bo här igen.

Har man inte krav på ett vidlyftigt boende utan främst söker ett nöjaktigt ställe att övernatta på, så är en fängelsecell fullt tillräcklig. Säng och badrum håller normal lågprishotellstandard.

Cellerna är väldigt små, vilket är kanske självklart, men stämningsfull och speciellt hotell som är värt ett besök. Frukost runt medel. Det som drar ner betyget var att personalen först inte visste vad glutenfritt bröd var utan fick vänta rätt länge på det.
