Welcome to Jumbo Stay Hostel: world's first Aircraft Inn in Stockholm

If you've just arrived at Stockholm-Arlanda, looking for a place to sleep, you don't need to go very far: you can simply get out of your airplane, and enter another. Don't worry! It won't take off: it looks like a Boeing 747 but it's the Jumbo Stay Hostel.

Everything inside has been transformed: where passengers were seated there are now 25 rooms with bunk beds, luggage racks, and flat-screen TVs. The upper deck has become a conference room, while the cockpit is now the honeymoon suite. Of course there are some drawbacks: the toilets and showers are shared (in the back), but the awesomeness of the experience is quite unique.
Moreover, a second life doesn't happen to everyone: it was ready to be scrapped, and is now one of the strangest hotels in the world, the first ever of its kind.
