- Agnieszka Poland“The staff was very friendly, and we had the opportunity to check in a little earlier, which was extremely convenient. The location is also fantastic. If every prison had beds as comfy as these, maybe breaking the law wouldn’t be such a bad idea 😄” Poland“The staff was very friendly, and we had the opportunity to check in a little earlier, which was extremely convenient.
