It is a beautifully presented place to stay - I especially enjoyed the quiet area, which guaranteed a good nights sleep, the VERY clean bathrooms, comfy beds, cats to pat, and the only vending machine I have ever used that has all the products at reasonable prices. My grandson, 13, loved the whole place and wanted to stay for longer. Absolutely marvellous.

This was the first time I’ve ever stayed in a hostel, and I had such a wonderful experience, I’m definitely going to do it again. First, I LOVE the jailhouse theme! It was so cute and made me feel right at home. Second, it was absolutely spotless. I’ve stayed in five star hotels that were not that clean! The cells were small and spartan (as they should be since it’s a jail!), but the beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with kitchen stuff, and I had my own bin in which to store my food items. The shared living areas were well furnished with comfy sofas, recliners, and dining tables and chairs. The place could get a bit noisy, but it quieted down by 10 pm. I would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend!

We picked this hostel because of the quirkiness of it heing based in an old jail and we were not disappointed. They really make the most of it by having a couple of old rooms set up as old cells and information boards. There are a few different social spaces which was nice and better than most of the other hostels we have stayed in in Aotearoa. It would be easy to find privacy for a phone call for instance. The thick walls mean nothing can be heard from other rooms and everyone was respectful of the quiet time in the main hall after (I think) 10pm. Facilities were generally clean. We were also pleasantly surprised that the room TV came with a Netflix subscription which was great for a cosy evening in! Would definitely recommend.

Interesting short stay in Pod style accommodation. Fantastic location for early morning flights out of Christchurch INT Airport. Take your own food as limited availability in vending machine only. Airport grub or fast-food an option 10mins away.

Pretty cool to stay at a place that was a jail. I liked the cats there and the bed was fine. Not much privacy though and the upstairs men's bathroom only had one toilet . Good deal though. Where else can you stay at a place that used to be a jail ?

I always wanted to get a feeling of what the inside of a prison looks like - well only kind of since this one has a pool table and TV room and you come and go as you like, very friendly staff, right next to Hagley Park.

良かった点: セルフチェックイン、チェックアウトなので気軽に利用できました。あと元監獄なのを活かして博物館みたいになってる内装が楽しかったです。 気になった点: 監獄なので冬は寒いです! 湯たんぽはありましたが、暖かくして寝るのには足りずコートを着込んで寝ました。

Jailhouse accommodations is a super quirky unique place. I rented a single cell for 2 nights. Positives - the security code was sent promptly and worked perfectly, this is an old jail exactly as advertised, the wall are thick, the bed was just right, and Staff were helpful. Cons - if you get a drunk idiot who comes in after midnight and forgets his code between the front door and cell…it takes the staff a bit of time to manage this. The rooms are actual prison cells, so they are small and sparce…. It’s part of the experience so know in advance, enjoy it.

The kitchen was nice in this property and the spaces to hang out within the building were very comfortable. I really liked the signs explaining the history of the building and the commitment to the prison bit! (cute cat lives outside as a bonus)
