Location is great, only 5 min walks to Luzern train station. Room is funny, and for those who want extraordinary experience, you will be satisfied, but facility wise speaking it is not quite satisfying, there's not enough room to put personal stuff except a small chair, but maybe that's what we call authentic jail experience. Door locks made me quite... More

We stayed here on a contiki tour. Rooms were clean and service was great. Dinner was amazingly good. It's a jail hotel so the cells only have basics. A bed and shower. But it was great. Location is in walking distance from town. I would definantly stay again and I recommend it for people looking for an expirence and something... More

Fantastic location, and the reception staff were sweet & well-meaning, but unfortunately rather incompetent! The website we booked through advertised that it had free parking & high-speed WiFi, but it turns out there was no free parking and WiFi was very slow & only worked within a 5m radius of the reception desk. The receptionist told us we could pay... More

Stayed there for 3 nights. We were lucky to have obtained the very first refurbished room which was very adequate. Breakfast is basic and you have to put away your dishes by yourself. The nightclub was under renovation so we were not bothered by the noise. Otherwise once in a lifetime spooky experience.

Stayed at the Jailhotel as part of my Contiki Tour. This was our 'feature hotel' and was the most expensive of the budget 3 star places we stayed in. What was made out to be an amazing experience turned out to be quite poor. I could imagine that being in jail would be very similar to the accommodation provided at... More

We were lured by the jail theme for two nights, and unless you stayed at one of the higher end rooms you get what you want. Each cell has two doors, the outer one a heavy hard wood door, plus an inner door offering maximum security to would be escapees. The furnishings are spartan but adequate. Bath is somewhat cramped.... More

When i first entered in this hotel it pretty scarred me because of its infrastructure. It was a old jail which is converted into a hotel, but eventually i enjoyed staying there. it was a kind of theme hotel where you actually stay in a jail cabin. At night pretty scary if you are alone but if in a group... More

Recently stayed a night at this hotel during a Contiki holiday. Contiki means very budget hotels, but this was the most expensive hotel of the seven we stayed at, and was also the worst. The rooms were tiny, our bags were constantly in the way as there was nowhere to store them. There was only one power point which was... More
