You might once have served your sentence here. Now you can simply book a night’s stay of your own free will. Hotel Oostereiland is situated in a former prison on the harbour in Hoorn. The thick walls, original cell doors and long corridors are a reminder of days gone by. It’s not exactly what you’d call cosy. Yet it’s surprisingly comfortable to sleep in.
The hotel is situated on the shores of the Markermeer. From the Oostereiland, you can easily walk to the historic city centre, the shopping streets and the theatre. The same listed building complex also houses Cinema Oostereiland and the Museum of the Twentieth Century. So there’s plenty to do.
Spend the night in a cell or under the roofAt Hotel Oostereiland, you can choose from a range of room types. Sleep in a compact prison cell with an original cell door. Need a bit more space? Then opt for a luxury prison cell or a cosy attic room. The attic rooms vary in size and location. Some rooms overlook the Markermeer. Others face the quiet courtyard. There are also more spacious rooms for families or groups of friends. A night in the slammer, but without a criminal record. It certainly makes for a different kind of sleep.
