Unique stay at a unique place.
Pros:

It was a unique stay at a unique place. Room was very comfy to live in. Bathroom was spacious.

Cons:

We had an issue with the sheets and they had to be replaced twice. Initially when we signed out the reception offered a free coffee!!! We had already organised to be elsewhere and couldn't accept. The manager later messaged for a free stay in lieu of the inconvenience but again we were from South Australia and already booked elsewhere for our stay. I messaged the manager back but he hasn't replied.
It was a very expensive stay here.

Unusual and interesting stay, worth it to experience something different.
Pros:

Expensive but unusual, staying in a historic prison.

Cons:

The sleeping arrangements were difficult for two of us sharing a bed-we needed to be very limber to climb in and out, and for the person who gets in first to climb over the other in the dark!

Absolutely beautiful history and stay all in one.
Pros:

Loved the layout and feel of the rooms and building.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was no fresh milk in the room and everything from the mini bar had to be ordered.

Subtle, comfortable luxury in a compelling and dynamic location
Pros:

Location is great, and the free bikes on offer are such a great idea! Wish I'd utilised this more, but there's always next time! The facilities on-site are impeccable - the pool even supplies towels, so that's one less thing to pack! And there's a supermarket within the Pentridge complex, which is insanely convenient.

Cons:

Some face washcloths in the room would have been pretty good. And patrons of the wine bar and restaurant can easily view you while swimming (I think I was filmed at one stage, which was not at all welcome).
