Rough Guide
"A jail as recently as 1999, this Victorian Gothic prison has been imaginatively turned into an atmospheric hostel with mostly double and twin-bunk rooms... Located almost 2km southwest of the Square."
Fodor's
"Its email address is [email protected], and certainly staying in an historic jail has a novelty factor, but this offers much more than that."

Top choice
"Twins and doubles are a bit on the small side... but it’s still an exceptionally well run and friendly spot. The surrounding Addington area has good cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues."
