It's so cool & fun to have a day in the ex-jail. In this price, they even provide breakfast. If they sell the prisoner uniform would be great.

It was a very unique experience to spend the night is a jail cell. This is not a regular hotel, so the amenities are shared. I was happy with the room. It was very clean with a comfortable bed. The lighting was very adequate and the WIFI was great. The continental breakfast was basic but also adequate. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hostel was very convenient for touring the downtown markets and restaurants.

The entire place was super clean and the double bed was really comfortable. FYI:The bottom of the door is open to hallway for air circulation, so even with the quiet hours of 11pm to 9am, I would suggest ear plugs. The breakfast was more than adequate- coffee, cereal, fruit, bagels and hot food. Highly recommend for a reasonably priced, unique stay in downtown area.

The hostel is quite nice and well-maintained with a rustic feel! The Room, hallways, showers/toilets were clean, with 24/7 reception and staff are helpful. The breakfast was tasty, but limited in options, but then again you get what you pay for. Good for solo travelers who spend the day exploring and just need somewhere to sleep and shower.

Fun to stay there overnight. The documentation on the building's history as a jail was interesting, and had about the right degree of visibility. The tour is also good. Shared areas: toilets, showers, kitchen and dining room, and reception area were clean and comfortable, as was the cell. Space and amenities are at a minimum, but acceptable for a youth hostel. There are two phone cabins/study rooms if you need a desk and some privacy, and a washer and dryer. The jail was built so that sound travels, it is noisy. There is a policy about being quiet at night, which was respected, but the kitchen and dining room area was quite loud. The parking spaces are limited, but they are not as expensive as at hotels I looked at in downtown Ottawa, and they are secure (it's a jail!!).

Amenities were great as usual. Clean bathrooms, clean rooms, strong wifi, and very helpful staff. Especially Jackson, he’s a legend. Only nit pick I would say if maybe a meat to add with the breakfast. Like sausage or bacon. I won’t complain too much cuz it’s free and this is a hostel after all.
