C	Claudio W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very special and unique experience. We spent 2 nights and it was worth it. To remodel a former penitentiary as a cultural, gastro and hostel space is a great idea, and here it was done at it's best. Despite that Alibis owners are there every day ensuring all runs well. Don't miss the chance to experience Alibis.
R	Ruth Vandergeest on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dorm room review: the firm was interesting in that it reminded me of those Japanese tube hotels. Each person has a plywood box. The beds are comfortable, and clean. Four stars because towels are not provided and the lockers are too small and flimsy to put all your things in with good conscious. But it was a beautiful reno to an old prison, breakfast was basic but good (I'm gluten free and was able to eat).
N	Nancy Underwood on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a really neat place, with loads of history. I'm sure if you told prisoners 60 years ago that people would pay to stay here, they would have thought you crazy! That said, I'm sure if the wall could talk... people wouldn't sleep very well. But I like to look at the transition from dark to light.
A	Alex De Renzi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great set up, the room was comfortable and of the expected standard for a good hostel. The shared shower and toilets were very clean and modern but basic. Expect tourists trying to peek into your room during the day.
M	Molly Hinesley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Coolest hostel I have ever stayed in!! Such a good idea. Also the staff is nice, the facility is perfectly clean and it’s quiet so you can get a great nights sleep. Towels included as well ??
o	ownwayphotography com on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An extraordinary hostel converted from a former prison. Rooms are simple, toilet in two person room is modern. everything is very clean. Breakfast is simple but tasty. Phenomenal location - everything in a walking distance from hostel.
K	Koen Zomers on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really awesome experience to stay in a cell. Very friendly staff. Beautiful building. I took the private cell with own bathroom for 60 euro per night. Nicely in the jail style. It's a very simple room but effective. Towel and one small bottle of soap included. Beds comfy. Small desk in the room. No place to put your luggage and no power outlets near the bed to put in your phone charger at night. Shower only gives warm water for like 8 minutes or so and then turns cold for a long time, so better be prepared with your soap until you run out of hot water. If people return late at night it's VERY noisy. Even if they speak normal it echoes like crazy through the hall in front of the rooms and any sounds from in or out of your room can be heard very well on both sides. WiFi is free but not always very stable. Small kitchen to prepare your own food and a fridge to store your stuff. The bad points make it up for me for the coolness of staying at this place. Price a tiny bit high for being a hostel and what you get. 40 to 50 euro per night would be a better fit. Payment up front, cards accepted, American Express is not accepted. Location smack in the middle of the city. Just a five minute walk from the train station. Would stay here again.
D	David Schouten on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great hostel for a very friendly price. Location is very good, about a 10-minute walk to the train station and very close to the city center. Rooms were quite nice but of course the bathroom is separate. It's very nice to sleep in an old cell, you really see the old characteristics of the prison it used to be.
