Jailhouse Accommodation

Unclaimed

4 star hostel. booked a double w/tv to be close to train station. Nice staff, proud of their facility. Basic accn - it is a cell you are staying in after all but very clean, comfortable bed, shared facilities, and common areas, in an interesting and historic building. If sound sensitive, advise earplugs as the atrium really carries sound. Folks are mostly respectful tho. Area is ok for bars, fast food etc but I liked a little quirky tea/coffee shop called Portershed. Hostel is easy to get to- from central bus station, no 7. Glad I stayed. By the way, the best bus station I've ever been in.

Very unique Accommodation. It was an old prison and you definitely recognize and feel the flare of it. Perfect Spot for short to midterm stay in Christchurch. Very nice people and staff. Big Kitchen with everything you need. Also got some parking spots in front.

If you're in Christchurch, there's no better place to spend the night. It's very well located, near a Burger King and a Thai restaurant. The place is literally an old prison, so sleeping here is a unique experience. They also give you free snacks if you post on Instagram that you've slept there. It has a laundry service, and the rooms are very comfortable. All public areas are spotless.

The ONLY thing I could fault this place on was the uncomfortable mattress, where you feel every single spring digging into your skin and bones. My free foam mattresses provide a more comfortable sleep! In saying that - you get what you pay for. It’s basic accommodation for the rooms. The staff I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Super friendly, welcoming, accomodating and exceeded all expectations. Thanks for having us!

Jailhouse accommodation is a very cool hostel. It used to be an jail and now reinvented into a hostel! It is very spacious and has a pool table, a good kitchen and a cozy tv room. The staff is nice and the location is fine as well. The rooms are really good and big.
