Easy to book, friendly staff, I stayed twice (2 diff visits, and extended my second "lock up" an extra night, just switching "cells". Beds were comfy - duvets, no need for sleeping bags here, and spare/extra duvets in room if you got chilly, just bring a towel, though apparently you can hire one if needed. Rooms were clean. I read a review that you cant hear noise from outside your room, you can, but mostly quiet from 10pm to be honest. (booking.com seemed to think I requested a quiet room, I dont remember doing that, just wanting my own room as I can be a terrible sleeper) bathroom was clean, decent shower pressure and hot water. Kitchen facilities were decent, got what you need and although not relevant for my stay, those staying a few days, there are tubs to put your labelled food in on the shelves. Two decent sized tv rooms if that's for you, with book selection , they also put out games for the evening if you so wish. it's about 40min walk into the centre, but it felt much shorter as I walked in via Hagley Park. Oh, and it had off road parking, which is a bonus imo. I'd happily stay here again when I revisit Christchurch. I enjoyed the atmosphere and think it is a good concept of re-using the building.

What a fabulous concept to build a hostel in an old prison! I chose here initially for the amazing uniqueness of it all and I really enjoyed my stay. The hostel really leans into the prison history and has this themed throughout its checkin process and the property itself with some of the rooms kept as was so you can walk in and see the beds the residents used and their true life graffiti on the walls of their cell which was surreal and fantastic at the same time! There is on site parking but it is first come first served and there were lots of cars. I managed to nab the last spot - phew - but looks like there is also a lot of free nearby street parking as well which also looks fairly safe and close. The rooms are basic bunk rooms with about 4 to a "cell" and a small locker for valuables. I was there 1 night in a 4 bed female dorm and found it to be cosy, good value for money and fitting all my needs adequately. Location wise you are quite far from the centre - 30-40 minute walk or a 10 minute drive - but if you don't mind that this is quite nice and unique stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful and overall I got a great vibe and would have stayed longer if it fit my itinerary. Would recommend!

It was very atmospheric and I enjoyed reading the history that you have on the walls in places. My cell was surprisingly comfortable, temperature wise. Not that I used them but you had plenty to keep people entertained on any down time they may have had, tv lounge, pool table, puzzles/books etc I liked the “come and go as you please” nature of the facility and the coded entries made life much easier and gave me 1 less thing to worry about in my holiday (keys). Again, not that I used it, but the inclusion of a kitchen and a fridge to cook and/or store left overs was great. Within walking distance of plenty of good food places and a short drive to the city centre The Halloween decorations added to the atmosphere and enjoyment. The place wasn’t haunted 👍

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view. The location was perfect, close to all the attractions I wanted to visit. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. Overall, my experience was outstanding, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

I loved the Jail theme of this hostel, the idea of rooms being a prison cell is cool. The room was comfortable and the common area was big. Location of the hostel is top notch and all Christchurch attractions are walkable. Also plenty of restaurants next to the hostel. I also loved the fact that you don't need a physical card or key to unlock your room. I will definitely recommend this hostel.
