Former prison with small rooms(cell) but everything is there. The beds are not soft!!
Roland, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

I was the only guest. Very central. Old town easy to access by walking

Shared kitchen was dirty. Common areas smelled bad.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked that it was very close to the ferry and the only few things I didn't like was that the bed made very loud creaking noises and the last thing is something a little more personal and that is that I would have liked to have some more directions for where the baggage room was and which way to find the rooms that one was given. But otherwise I had a very good last night sleep in Visby.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

The Visby Fängelse hostel is a practical place to stay in Visby, well located just outside of the ferry. The vintage wallpaper and historical decor elements are nice and funny, as well as the experience of sleeping in what used to be a prison. However, there is almost no staff, only staff at the bar somewhat know what’s happening. There are not enough showers and toilets for the number of guests. Renting sheets and towels is outrageously expensive. The respect of quiet jours (starting at the usual 11pm) for the evening is a myth ; we had to try falling asleep while other guests were partying in the common spaces, which were gross the following morning. We put food in the fridge and one of our yogourts and some fruit mysteriously disappeared.

Solid hostel in Visby
Overall a good stay. Kitchen felt a bit run down. And if you are tall you will for sure bounce your head in the door damper in the low cell doors. They are mounted so there is a peace of meral sticking out a foot into the room. Luckily i wasnt so tall that I got them in the eye but my forehead took some beatings. But what I couldnt understand is why they have motorbikes inside the halls and saloons as decoration. They take up space, and hinder walking, and the space could be used much better. In addition they look ugly and out of the place. The decision to put them there is the dumbest thing I have seen in any hostel. Otherwise the establishment delivered to expectations.

Korzystałem z kwatery w pòźnym okresie jesiennym. Niestety to już nie europejskie standardy. Zimno. Na materacach włosy. Na parterze jedno wc. Jedno nieczynne. Brak obsługi. Zapraszam do Polski. Zobaczycie dzielacą przepaść jakosci usług hotelowych.

Sämre än att sova på en parkbänk
Billigt sunk ställe med pundare och hemlösa. Hittade insekter i rummet som gick runt på golvet.

Boendet var helt ok. Men borde renoveras lite. Det var lite skabbit på sina ställen. B.l.a köket.
