Pros:

Unieke overnachting in een gevangenis. Kamers klein maar schoon, goed bed prima badkamer. Locatie tov van centrum Hoorn uitstekend. Personeel ontzettend vriendelijk en voorkomend!

Der eigentlich freie Meerblick, wenn nicht die Kreuzfahrtschiffe die Sicht versperrt hätten.

Einzelverpackungen - für die Umwelt schlecht,

Leuk idee maar helaas geen gevangenis gevoel
Pros:

De locatie was prachtig, en het gratis parkeren

Cons:

De kapotte airco en het iets te veel moderniseren van de zolder. Het ontbijt was veel te minimaal keus

Bijzonder gebouw en prima plek om Hoorn te bezoeken.
Pros:

De ligging, wij hadden toevallig die ene kamer met groot raam dat uitzicht gaf op Markermeer

Cons:

Erg kleine kamer, maar ja, je slaapt in een oude gevangenis.

Mooie locatie
Pros:

De ligging is fantastisch, dichtbij het centrum en de bedden zijn top.

Cons:

Kleine kamers en onpraktisch voor langere mensen ( Op de 3de etage) balk van de dakkapel op ooghoogte.

De volgende keer kom ik zeker weer in de gevangenis logeren.
Pros:

Ik heb te doen gehad met twee super vriendelijke en behulpzame dames.

Cons:

Kamers toch een beetje klein, maar vellen zijn klein, dus dat is dan ook logisch.
