    Rooms are a little small, but will serve the purpose.

    This is a nice little hostel, not far from the Chur train station. People know it by the name Sennhof. It was a prison till 2020, now converted into a hostel. Its impeccably clean. There is a common kitchen with all utensils, a common community room with a small library and a big TV. There are lots of common toilets and bathrooms in addition to the ones int room (not there in dormitory), which are spotlessly clean.

    We were facing on to the courtyard and there was music playing until late. This a small problem and wouldn't put me off staying again!

    Rooms were clean and well set out!

    Quirky fun prison break
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Small Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We loved it, but there are some things that might not appeal to everyone: - The rooms are literally cells, so they are small (I mean, what do you expect??). - The bed is sideways so if there are two of you, one has to climb over the other to get up. - The bathroom had poor ventilation. - No kettle in the room - we had to go upstairs to the kitchen to make hot drinks.

    This is fun place to stay - a lovely historic building overlooking a vineyard that has retained a quirky prison-vibe (bars on some of the windows, old scratched up industrial lift, chunky cell doors). The common areas are fine - a lounge in the historic tower, a co-working area, a fully-fitted kitchen and toilets/showers. The reception is staffed and sells snacks and essentials. The room was clean and cleverly designed with fold-down tables and shelves. The ensuite was clean and stylish and the water-pressure on the shower was like standing under Niagra falls - AMAZING. The location is great - 10 minutes from the station and very close to the Rhatische Museum.

    Nice stay experience for those that are open minded and want to try something different

    • Small Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    - Clear window in the bathroom (not very pleasant to be seen by neighbours if you're showering or doing your business) - Payment: we didn't manage to pay in advance as their payment gateway triggers multiple authorizations from different providers, which is seen as a security breach by our bank. - Cleanliness: maybe it was just bad luck, but we found some "traces" of the previous guest in one of our beds, which led us to think that the room was not cleaned as it should have been.

    - Very friendly staff in all stages of the stay. Moreover, we had a bit of an issue in our stay and the staff promptly offered a compensation for all the inconvenience. - Outside the box stay... sleeping in a prison cell is definitely a different experience :) - Good facilities, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, common areas to hang out - Nice location: relatively near to the center

    Excellent, distinctive accommodations in this historic former prison! We had a private room with bathroom. Look, it was a former prison cell so was it huge? No. Was it very well designed, quiet, comfortable, with wonderful shower? Yes! The attached restaurant KostBar was warm, full of friendly staff, superb food, lovely decor, and offers a short stumble back to your room after indulging in food and drink. Highly recommended!

    Nothing bad to say except that since it was once a prison, the room size is modest.

    The prison cell structure was actually really cozy and made interacting with other guests easy and enjoyable. The anecdotes posted about prisoners who had stayed in different cells was super interesting. Great communal area fir making tea, cooking or just relaxing. The bar/restaurant next door had a great local town vibe and fantastically friendly service. Inside decor of cells was ingenious and truly optimized the limited space of each cell area.
