Reviews for Falu Fängelse Vandrarhem
Review 1：Going away from there..........
Review 2：I just loved the staff especially the woman in the reception who made me feel very welcome and made me in a very good mood and i think she cared a lot about us and our comfort and such and she was very nice and humouristic I loved the museum and the location of the place and i loved the breakfast and that they have kept so much from the original such as the doors and the rooms and such I will return next time i am in Falun
Review 3：Bed sheets, room cleaning and breakfast is extra cost, it helps to save some money if you know and what to do it yourself
Review 4：I like staying at this place, personel was very welcome and kind, it contains all amenities, museum is great too.
Review 5：The wheather (ha ha ha)
Review 6：Nice staff, location near shops, railwaystation and busses.
Review 7：The best prison in Europe.
Review 8：Too spare inside the room. The kitchen is homely and compact. The beds could be wider to accommodate couples.
Review 9：Sense of security; the quiet and the accessibility.
Review 10：We felt that the "prison" experience could have been pushed a bit more; right now it's more of a normal hostel with big scary-looking doors and bars in the windows. That's not to say we were expecting to be locked in our rooms at night, just that maybe it was a bit too nice for a prison...
Review 11：It was fun to see a prison "from the inside", and the location was really handy, close to the shops and restaurants but far enough not to be too busy.
Review 12：our room is too close to main entrance, very noisy!
Review 13：prison museum
Review 14：Not enough English translation in the museum.
Review 15：Pure novelty of the experience.
