The whole jail idea is really cool (though scary a bit), you will never forget this. I met some amazing people. Some showers are bad (but lucky I found one that is good). The only thing I disliked was the smell of urine in the bathroom (possibly because one toilet was not flushing well) Ilze, from Latvia ~ 21st Sep 2009

Definetly 5 points for character. It's very unique hostel. I've never slept in jail before. It's intresting and unusual experience. The staff wasn't bad. It was also preety clean. Despite this, there are not free lockers ($1 every door close) and tour around hostel (jail) it's very expensive ($9). Anyway, Jail Hostel is nice place to stay. Michal, from Poland ~ 16th Sep 2009
