Very interesting place to stay – it being a former prison. You are in an old cell. So it’s quite a novelty. Everything was very clean. Decent breakfast at a separate hotel. You also have to check in at the other place as well.

Super stay in the old arrest (Birksø hotel)

A little special experience to stay in an arrest and in cell no 9. It was a small nice room with 2 beds and a repo with 2 chairs and a small table. The food served in the restaurant and the service was perfect. One should take advantage of having a nice courtyard with a little more coziness.And then one should keep the name the old arrest instead of Birkesø hotel. Overall a super experience.

Not a very pleasant stay

The hotel is very well situated, but I would not recommend it. With the old cell door the atmosphere in the small room is claustrophobic. The sanatary installations need to be renovated. It was not possible to store the luggage in the hotel itself, we had to go to a restaurant nearby.

Hostel to Hotel price

Good bed, location and breakfast.
The rest was awful.
WC drained from the shower cabin was drained.
The suction sounded violently.
Smelled of mould.
No towel change.
Room very spartan.
So room so small that beds had to stand up the wall. Wood to lie deeper.
Upon departure, the owners found a surcharge of DKK 600 for having their own toilet in place of the DKK 200 specified at the time of booking.
