I stayed in this prison converted hotel. Good thing is you can come in out anytime you want without asking the prison guards. Hotel room is clean, nice, but very small (what do you expect from a prison cell):-) Free internet was nice but I was hit with an expensive bill for local phone call before I left the hotel.... more

I chose this hotel because of the used-to-be-a-prison spice. I should have guessed that it would probably be inside galleries, small windows and very quiet. But somehow I didn't realise that before I actually came to the hotel. Since I dislike galleries, love large windows and appreciate a lively atmosphere, this was just not the place for me. Nothing wrong... more

We had read about this hotel and decided to book becase of the novelty value of staying in a prison. As the taxi pulled up outside we felt a bit daunted by it's appearance as obviously it still looked like a prison. On entering though we were pleasantly surprised. The whole building has been tastefully refurbished in a contemporary style.... more

We stayed here in July. As an experienced traveler, I could not believe it: too good to be true! Everything is just like it's supposed to be: clean, spacious rooms, quietness (certainly helps that visitors have to pay for the tv). Oh, and a bathroom - taking shower is a treat! Breakfasts are luxurious in a stylish atmosphere; stuff is... more

We stayed at this hotel on our July 2009 trip through Scandinavia. I selected this hotel due to some of the reviews and the "cool" factor of staying in an old prison. Positives: The hotel was very clean, staff was very friendly, and was pretty "cool" as you were in an old prison complete with walls on the outside. The... more

Spent two night at the BW Katajanokka. The room was spacious (even with a baby crip), the bathroom was superb and the service exceptional. The front desk and restaurant staff were very efficient and attentive to our needs (we were traveling with a 10-month old). Also, the hotel is much closer to the city centre than we expected. By foot... more

This is the kind of hotel that allows travellers who have seen it all to have a memorable experience. Built in a building which formerly was a jail, the design of rooms, quality of materials and equipment used allows for great level of comfort and relaxation. Breakfast served in the moring is of very high quality and the hotel is... more
