Sympa pour une expérience d’une nuit dans cette ancienne prison, cellule très propre. Toujours des hôtes bruyants dans les couloirs qui résonnent… A conseiller

Ein ehemals Gefängnis von innen zu sehen und als Schlafmöglichkeit anbieten finde ich super Idee. Auf Luxus zu verzichten entspricht mir sehr! Aber eine bessere Matratze habe ich wirklich vermisst!

Handtuch und Zahputzglas wären kleine Ausstattungsdetails, die ich zu schätzen wüsste.. Ansonsten aber sympathisch nonkonform, simpel und sehr freundlich!!

Hoi Christoph Vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast uns zu bewerten! :) Schön hat es dir hier im Knast gefallen! Bezüglich den Details verstehen wir dich, möchten es aber wegen unseres Konzeptes so simpel halten wie nur möglich. Wir haben in all unseren Zimmer ein Zahnputzglas, wir entschuldigen uns, dass es bei dir gefehlt hat! Liebe Grüsse dein Team Barabas
