Austria Linz’s Sewer Pipe Das Park Hotel
Would you pay to sleep in a sewer pipe? Maybe not. What if it has the following features:-):
- Comfortable interiors with full headroom
- Double bed and storage
- Woolly blanket and light cotton sleeping bag
The Das Park Hotel rooms are small, but are safely secured by a code-lock door, and provide a comfortable two-person bed, blankets and sleeping bags, storage for your clothes and backpacks, and a small lamp for light.
The most unique part of this hotel is that you reserve your room, and pay as you wish. Yes! You pay what you want to pay for the room.
For toilets and showers, guests can visit a nearby “petrol” station to settle their sanitary necessities. Restaurants for breakfast are just a short walk away. The hotel is open only between May and October.
These 2 meter x 2.5 meter cement tubes are located on the lovely green grass of Rodlpark, in Ottensheim, Austria, where the annual Open Air Ottensheim music festival happens (making them a perfect place for concert goers to crash).
According to the Das Park Hotel site, check-out time is at 12 noon. If you sleep past your check-out timing, you might end up in another part of Austria. 
Just kidding!

Hi there,
Everything dynamic and very positively!
Have a nice day
Very creative idea(!), but doesn’t it get cold at night ?
.-= Hypnosisstories´s last blog ..A Look Into Hypnosis: Is It Fact or Fraud? =-.
@Hypnosisstories, I suppose heating is available inside
These little pods look cool. I’m sure it would attract visitors just for the novelty of staying in a drain pipe, lol. See the travellers castle for Cheap accommodation in cairns.

Its a great idea and cheap, But doesn’t it get cold at night?
It’s a great start for new ideas for different types of motels.
This way it can cut down the price to pay for supplies and save the trees.
i guess it comes with heating so occupants are kept warm at night – definitely a very eco-friendly hotel option.
Definitely very special

Reminds me of the hotels in Japan. Like the idea would be fun for one night. Kind of like camping but with out a tent.
What do you mean by saying “you oay what you want”. How can the government maintain it, then?
u mean “u pay what you want”? I guess its a private enterprise and occupants might be quite reasonable so far. Even then its just a large pipe hotel
What a great concept! Not very comfortable, but an excellent choice if you’re looking for a unique experience instead of luxury.
Might leave you feeling a little drained!!
lol! That’s a great pun
That is a sweet idea ! I dont think i would want to stay in one of thouse for more than 1 night. (also i would have to talk to my Wife and see if she would even think of sleeping in that lol )
“my Wife” – ashley, i thought you are the wife :-0 – the inside looks quite cozy plus its pay as you like – why not for the unique experience.
lol – Ya… Well I have no public comment to make on that matter lol … lets just say i didnt pick out my name : )
The theme looks great, and it looks quite comfortable and cozy inside it. I want to go here during holidays for an unusual experience.
This looks fantastic, but there seems to be only 3 rooms. I bet they’re booked up!
i bet they are – further you pay what you feel is right; it could be a bargain for some travelers!
