Jumbo Hostel




Jumbo Jet Hostel is a first hostel inside a real jumbo jet parked at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Sweden. It is a retrofitted Boeing 747 jumbo jet, which was originally produced for theSingapore Airlines. The Jumbo Hostel contains 85 beds in 25 rooms of assorted capacities and sizes, including the cockpit suite(with spectacular views) that contains two beds or a dorm room for four adults. And Many original parts of the plane still remain, the lounge bar, first lass seats, as well as the oxygen maks. Now one thing the hostel has going for it is price -- a room starts at 350 Swedish krona (about A$63), which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports. Bookhere.
