Our stay in prison was excellent! Given that it is a prison and we were there in April, the hosts warned us about having a chilly night. However, they brought us an excess of blankets and had pre-warmed the cell with a space heater. As well, they offered an alternative room should it get too cold. The shower and washroom was also unexpectedly warm and well-kept. The host was great, as she gave us a tour and assisted with all of our needs, but then gave us the time and space to explore and enjoy the place by ourselves. We also appreciated the little touches: having black and white striped fabric and certificates for "surviving" really made the stay into an experience. Overall, we highly recommend the Dorchester prison.
