Barabas

“The location, the breakfast,the staff”

“It’s very clean. The bed is very comfortable. And there is an interesting story about the building waiting to be found by you!”

“Great location”

“The Woman at the front desk was VERY helpful (sorry we didn't get her name). She let us check in early (we arrived on an early train) and told us about some great places to visit and to have dinner. She also helped us with excursion tickets. The room was comfortable and the beds were very comfortable! Great Location also, easily walkable to all major sights and very close to the train station We had lunch at the sister restaurant Iazakaya Nozomi. It was very good and a Lot of food! Altogether we would recommend the Barabas Hotel highly - great value for money, comfortable and clean!”

“What an adventure! We booked it in a rush, and we realized this place used to be a prison only after receiving a confirmation email with instructions. Yes, room was small and simple, but hey - it was a prison cell before! Place is run by a group of artists (you can see it by ie beautifully designed cards) who want to preserve this bit of history, so by staying there you are supporting a good cause ;) there is a small exhibition about the history of the place on the first floor, chill garden with paper lanterns to relax outside (yes, it used to be a prison yard before) and a Japanese restaurant with very decent okonomiyaki downstairs. Inside the room there are 4 things: a bed, sink, hook for clothes and a toilet/shower cube (a common solution in microhotels ie in Hong Kong, and other overpopulated cities, but not so common in Europe), so maybe check pics before - especially if you are on a romantic gateaway and you don't feel too comfortable with your travelling partner. We loved it end to end, and I would never exchange it to any 'normal' hotel room experience.”
