Langholmen Hotell offers a unique experience in a beautifully renovated former prison, where guests can even visit a free museum. Many appreciate the cosy rooms and the convenience of having a shared kitchen for preparing meals. The breakfast is often described as tasty and plentiful, featuring a wide variety of choices; however, some guests have noted that the curtains didn't cover the entire window. The hotel's location is also a highlight, being a pleasant walk to the underground station and close to attractions, nestled on a beautiful island with lots of vegetation.

a unique experience

breakfast buffetquality beddingaccessible island
I found the breakfast buffet amazing. The variety of food was plentiful. i enjoyed the great quality bedding. It ensured restful sleep. the surrounding location on a quiet island, accessible to the city, was wonderful. there's even a spot for swimming just outside.
The lighting wasn't ideal. I found a lampshade positioned somewhat awkwardly over the bed, slightly impacting the room's ambiance.

unique hotel experience

cozy roomsexcellent breakfastmetro stationsmall room
the hotel provides a unique experience residing in a former prison , maintaining cozy and clean rooms. the breakfast had a wide selection , proving excellent value for money. a short walk to the metro station allowed for easy city access. a young man at reception helpfully answered questions about the building's history.
the small room size was a bit inconvenient , especially with only one window that opened. this meant the room became stuffy , and the curtains did not fully cover the window , letting sunlight in early.
Rooms

the double room featured basic furnishings , keeping the historical prison theme. the bed was comfortable , yet space around it was limited because of the original cell structure , and the ensuite offered necessary amenities.
Location
9/10
situated on an island , the hotel has access to waterfront views and natural surroundings. the metro station is about a 10-minute walk away , granting easy access to central districts. the island environment adds to the experience.

Unique Prison Hotel Experience!

This former prison is unique. Its location is convenient with a short walk to a tube station plus there are shops nearby. A bridge next to the hotel offers amazing views. The breakfast was perfect with many choices.
The room had only one window that opened. There was no aircon, it was very stuffy. The curtains also didn't cover the entire window.
