HMP Britannia
Pros:

Shower was nice and I like the way that when you shut the door and turned off the light you could see absolutely nothing.

Cons:

The hard beds, the lumpy pillows, the mouldy bathroom, the screaming of a man whom was just raped, the visiting of the police and the crime scene investigation unit. The total lack of care by the staff to visitors witnessing this at 6am in the morning. By fat the worse hotel I've stayed in, and I survived a Moroccan kidnapping.
