Description:

This unique accommodation operated as a prison for more than 100 years and has a famous reputation of being haunted. Find out for yourself! This Victorian-era building offers a variety of choices from dorm rooms to semi-private and private rooms, including spaces occupied by former jail cells. A tour is available to show you what life was like for the inmates. Your stay will be a lot more enjoyable than theirs however, as you will have all the comforts of home, including free wireless Internet. The location is perfect for a jail break: adjacent to the Rideau Centre and close to Parliament Hill, the Byward Market, and the Rideau Canal.
