Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's central location, friendly and helpful service, and cleanliness. The unique prison cell concept was noted as an interesting and original experience, with some guests enjoying the on-site Japanese restaurant. However, many guests found the rooms to be small and cramped, with uncomfortable beds. Some also mentioned issues with noise and lack of amenities like air conditioning and TV. Overall, the hotel offers a unique stay with good service and cleanliness but limited space and comfort.
