Das Park Hotel


Located in Donauradweg Park, Austria, Das Park Hotel isn't your usual Holiday Inn locale. These rooms are made out concrete sewage pipes. Designed by Andreas Strauss and looking like the European lovechild of a Tokyo capsule room, each suite contains a double bed, a lamp, a blanket, an internet connection hookup and one sleeping bag. Toilets and showers are a brisk walk away. The best thing about the hotel is the "pay as you wish" honesty policy. People quite commonly pay anywhere from 7 to 20 Euros a night. Yes, it's not exactly built for comforting your every whim but none the less, it beats camping in a pup tent. Link to Das Park Hotel (Site is in German.)
