Established in 1867, the Alcatraz Hotel am Japanischen Garten holds the distinction of being Germany's inaugural prison-hotel.
For those seeking traditional accommodations, the hotel offers a selection of rooms and suites, each equipped with an en suite bathroom.
The unique cell-rooms provide a glimpse into prison life, featuring barred windows and original beds crafted by inmates, along with a washbasin and toilet.
This intriguing hotel, converted from a former prison, is situated near the Japanese Garden in the heart of Kaiserslautern, adjacent to the Pfälzer Wald forest.
WiFi access is limited to the lobby and the lower floor.
The Hinter Gittern bar serves as a perfect spot to unwind with drinks after a busy day before retreating to your cell or room.
Breakfast can be delivered through the hatch of the original prison door upon request. Additionally, a new à la carte restaurant was inaugurated in 2013.
