Reviews for Fästningens Vandrarhem
Review 1：I arrived and no one was there to check me in. There was not email to let me know what was going on. luckily I found some locals that were helpful and stumbled across a cleaner that let me into my room. If it was not for this I would have spent the night on the streets
Review 2：This hostel was in a great location in a fortress and the single rooms are in a prison cell. It felt quite creepy at night when you are alone. I was actually fun. The kitchen was well equipt and the toilets and showers clean
Review 3：Like an adventure game! first we walked around the whole castle, really freaked out by the darkness and roar of the sea, then looked for key box, then tried to open the box with wrong code, then seeked for the house which can be opened by the keys, then when we finally found it, it turned out to be a prison built in 1856! the scenery is fantastic from the "prison" really amazing trip
Review 4：No complaints.
Review 5：Stepping back in time, quite an experience to sleep i a prison cell.
