Utrolig gjennomført, spennende og særegent

Skulle bare ha en "annerledes" overnatting og kom plutselig midt oppi " true crime festival" som gjorde oppholdet ENDA mer særegent og interessant! Kjempestilig konsept og innblikk i " en annen verden"!!! Over all forventning! Gode senger også! Anbefales på det sterkeste! Om det hadde vært noe vi skulle utsette på oppholdet, så er det bare at søppelbøtta på rommet/cella godt kunne vært tømt etter forrige besøk.

Anbefaler Fengselshotellet i Arendal på det varmeste. En helt egen atmosfære, mye historie både i og på veggene og fantastiske fangevoktere - alt i alt svært gode soningsforhold❤️

Fantastisk service.

Fantastisk service fra personalet, og topp med gratis parkering. Ekstremt dyrt under Arendalsuka, men det er jo slik det er ved slike arrangement. Greit å være oppmerksom på at det er enkel standard, men det funker fint.

To netter i Arendal

Vi ble veldig nysgjerrig på dette hotellet da det dukket opp i søket vårt. Å bo på en tidligere celle var artig, og behagelig. Vil bemerke at toalettet er rett på veggen på rommet 😅 de underselger frokosten i annonsen som bestod av brød med mye forskjellig pålegg, kaffe, te melk, juice og frokostblanding. Kun 10 minutter gange til sentrum.
