Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Langholmen Hotell offers a unique experience, with guests consistently charmed by the beautifully renovated former prison setting and its peaceful island location. Many appreciate the free access to the on-site prison museum and find the rooms well-equipped, despite some noting their small size, a consequence of the building's original design.

good breakfastcramped roomno air conditioning

the breakfast selection was quite good.

the room felt cramped. it was difficult to move around with two people and our luggage. the lack of air conditioning made sleeping uncomfortable, especially as only a small part of the window opened. the price didn't match the room size or amenities, which i found frustrating.
