2/10 Poor

Our whole experience of this place was awful. We stayed for two nights with our pet dog. There was no reception, in fact we saw no sign of any staff other than breakfast the morning after checking ourselves in. The room as a positive linen was clean, the bins had not been emptied from previous occupants, there was even food in the bin! Breakfast was a very unpleasant experience, we arranged the time of 9.00AM via text message. When we went down there were no clean tables to sit at so we waited for the staff member to speak to us. They did not! She practically yelled 'can i help you'? to which I answered yes. We had come for breakfast, to be told gruffly - no dogs allowed there is another room to sit in. We were not shown the room. We found it ourselves, dirty and barren! No table laid for us, nothing. The woman (staff member) was so rude another guest came to help us by explaining what to do. Breakfast itself was extremely poor too - therefore we ate nothing. We did not go for breakfast the next day - we packed, paid (reluctantly) and left. We left their sign on our door asking for clean towels as one of the towels was soaked and there was no space to dry them. This was completely ignored despite the room next door being cleaned when we left. Therefore, we had no clean dry towels to use for day two! Awful service. This is the first time where I have felt strongly enough to leave a poor review. There was no bar or restaurant as advertised. Poor poor showing Den Gamle Arrest.

Helt ok hotell. Lite förvirrande att man checkar in på ett annat ställe och sen får gå vidare till arresten på annat ställe. Rena och sköna sängar, men ”gammal” doft i rummet. ( inte så konstigt kanske). Toalett som delas med andra var ren. Ska ni ta med djur, som det står är välkomna, så tillkommer en avgift på 250 DKR. Det stod dock inget i bokningen att extra avgift tillkom. Frukosten helt ok med frallor, gott pålägg, bacon, äggröra och korv. Kaffe, te och juice. Müsli och yoghurt. Jättesnäll frukostvärd! Miljön inne på hotellet hade kunnat gå lite mer ”all in” på arrest-temat. Allt var verkligen OK.

Hyggelig og anderledes overnatning.

Sjov og anderledes form for overnatning. Rolige omgivelser, selv om det er lige over for domkirken. Fin morgenmad, venlig betjening😉

Fint ophold midt i Ribe, men der kunne gøres meget for lidt i forhold til service. Nøglen skal hentes på nærliggende restaurant og bagage kan ikke opbevares efter udtjekning. Fint gårdmiljø

貴重な監獄ホテル

牢屋を宿泊室にしてる重要な文化財ホテル。バス（シャワー）・トイレ付きを選択したが換気が悪くてタオルが乾かない。換気扇の騒音は耳栓で対処。湯温が一定しない。Wi-Fiは時々遅くなる。無料朝食は簡素ですがそこそこ美味しいです。 「チェックインは他所にて」とのメールが来たので送られてきた（大雑把な）地図の指定場所に行ったら婦人服店で、『チェックインは下の階の食堂である』と簡潔にご教示。間違う人が多いらしい。なお近々大改修で1年間休業するとのことです

Sjovt overnatningssted for én nat

Jeg har i lang tid ønsket at bo her, og det var også sjovt og en anderledes oplevelse. Jeg går normalt udenom steder med delt badeværelse, men dette sted skulle prøves. Man kan ikke bo mere centralt i det hyggelige centrum, hvor der er mange spisesteder. Morgenmaden var god.

4/10 Fair

Gut gelegen und günstig, aber nicht empfehlenswert

Die Lage ist hervorragend, aber ich würde das Hotel nicht empfehlen. Das kleine Zimmer mit der alten Zellentür wirkt bedrückend und klaustrophobisch. Die sanitären Installationen müssten erneuert werden. Es waren nur selten Ansprechpartner:innen vor Ort.
