Unusual Hotels: Sleeping in a Jumbo 747 Jet
2 August, 2009I will be sharing with you an unusual hotel architecture from Sweden.
Sweden’s Jumbo Hostel
We all had our fair share of experiences trying to catch a nap in airports and airplanes amid all the noise and uncomfortable seats. Staying in the Jumbo Hostel combines the experiences of sleeping in airport and an airplane without all the discomfort associated with it and all the luxury of a First Business Class cabin without breaking your bank account!
The most expensive room – the cockpit suite (see picture below). This suite has a panorama view with two adjustable beds and sleeps up to two adults. The room is also equipped with TV, wireless internet free of charge and toilet with shower. Price: 3300 SEK (S$800+) per night (breakfast included)
Join the ‘Mile High Club” here – though you are just metres from the ground but you get the feeling of flying too..
Twin rooms are equipped with two 90 cm beds and sleeps up to two adults. TV, wireless internet free of charge.
Price: 1200 SEK. Other room prices ranges from 350 SEK (dorm bed) to about 1400 SEK

More info here: Sweden Arlanda Jumbo Hostel. Conveniently located beside the Stockholm’s International Arlanda Airport – this hostel is suitable for those who would like to catch a quick nap before an early flight.

4 August, 2009 at 4:52 pm@Nicola, Nope i didnt stay here. It was just one of the unusual hotels i came across on the web. Since the plane is not meant to fly again, I would guess that they had installed a kitchen to prepare breakfast 🙂

12 August, 2009 at 1:56 amHi there I must admit that I found Sweden totally boring. Swedes are only really sociable when they are drunk. Swedish language teachers, especially the females are to be avoided at all costs. They make you most hated Prim Miss perfect seem like a kinky she devil who likes spanking and S&M.
In other words avoid Sweden.

16 November, 2009 at 10:58 pm@sean – ha ha – your comment made me laugh out loud.. but I would have to agree with Zhiqiang. Swedes are lovely people, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with the few as well as travelling to Japan with three of my Swedish friends a few months ago.
I’ve yet to do Copenhagen and Stockholm, but they are right at the top of my list.
Love the Jumbo hotel… absolutely superb!
