Visby Fängelse - Hostel

Visby

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.

I liked that it was very close to the ferry and the only few things I didn't like was that the bed made very loud creaking noises and the last thing is something a little more personal and that is that I would have liked to have some more directions for where the baggage room was and which way to find the rooms that one was given. But otherwise I had a very good last night sleep in Visby.

Overall a good stay. Kitchen felt a bit run down. And if you are tall you will for sure bounce your head in the door damper in the low cell doors. They are mounted so there is a peace of meral sticking out a foot into the room. Luckily i wasnt so tall that I got them in the eye but my forehead took some beatings. But what I couldnt understand is why they have motorbikes inside the halls and saloons as decoration. They take up space, and hinder walking, and the space could be used much better. In addition they look ugly and out of the place. The decision to put them there is the dumbest thing I have seen in any hostel. Otherwise the establishment delivered to expectations.

Solid hostel in Visby

I was the only guest. Very central. Old town easy to access by walking

The Visby Fängelse hostel is a practical place to stay in Visby, well located just outside of the ferry. The vintage wallpaper and historical decor elements are nice and funny, as well as the experience of sleeping in what used to be a prison.However, there is almost no staff, only staff at the bar somewhat know what’s happening. There are not enough showers and toilets for the number of guests. Renting sheets and towels is outrageously expensive. The respect of quiet jours (starting at the usual 11pm) for the evening is a myth ; we had to try falling asleep while other guests were partying in the common spaces, which were gross the following morning. We put food in the fridge and one of our yogourts and some fruit mysteriously disappeared.

My stay was great, the facilities are basic but very comfortable.One thing, however, I did not see one hand sanitizer in the while hostel, none in the common areas like kitchen or chill zone, nor in the toilets. That is very sad and not ok.

No higene

Very good location, both near the ferry terminal, the city centre and the car rental place. The room was very basic but comfortable. The pillows were however very old and worn out, and you had to pay extra for bed linen and towels (120 SEK); shower gel and shampoo wasn't included. Very nice staff. Overall happy with the stay.

Visby prison hostel - overall good

Very close to the ferry terminal and old town. Rooms are simple and clean, the bathrooms and kitchens were clean and had lots of hot water. Luggage room was outside.

Super cool place and could be so popular if there will be more live put to it. Felt a bit dirty and the beds are not comfortable at all

Fängelse is alright as a hostel, but the cleanliness is not what I would have waited for. The building is very interesting and could offer a truly good experience.
