Alcatraz Jail-Hostel — Hotel in Tbilisi

We stayed here for 1 night, I like trying out different type of Hostel accommodation.||A prison cell concept hostel got my attention. ||||Location is perfect, the Old Tbilisi and New Tbilisi towns are walking distance, 10mins away. All the place of interests in Tbilisi are quite near.||||The Beds are perfect and comfortable. We stayed in the 6 Bed Dorm, and if you are a traveler who likes a bit of privacy, this might be an issue since the 6 Bed Dorm room is literally opened and separated to the 4 Bed Dorm room by bars (it is a prison concept hostel after-all). For us it wasn't an issue. The Dorm room has a ceiling fan, and when we visited there during summer (it did get a bit hot in the evening), the room had an A/C and it was made available.||||There are 1 toilet and bath, it was enough for us though, cold and hot water was available.||||And the Host, I forgot his name though (sorry), but, he was gracious and accommodating. He gave us tips on where to go and what to see and even offered tasting his home-made white wine. ||||Will I stay there again, ABSOLUTELY YES!||Do I recommend this hostel, ABSOLUTELY YES! But please read my review in order to align your...

We wanted this place to be so much better. The concept seems really cool, but in reality, it's nothing special. Firstly, we arrived really late, at about 1am, due to some bus problems and the guy was waiting for us which was nice. But he owed us 3 GEL in change for the room and said he'd give it to us in the morning and then we never saw him again. Only saw one other member of staff once for the rest of the three days we were there and then no one.||||The place never seemed to be locked, so anyone could walk in really. We stayed in a private room (cell), the main jail part is a few bunk beds behind bars, but there's no walls or anything. Everyone can walk in a see what's going on. There's absolutely no privacy.||||The place is clean and does have a balcony with a nice view. Forget about breakfast, it doesn't exist. The worst thing was our bed. You could feel the springs and it was really...
