Offbeat Accommodations: Jumbo Hostel

A hostel like no other, Jumbo Hostel puts you back on the airplane as soon as you land. A decommissioned Boeing 747 serves as lodging for over 80 guests just a mere ten minute walk from Stockholm's Arlanda airport.

Rooms range from modest dormitory-style lodgings to a suite in the cockpit and will cost you 350-3300 SEK ($40-375 USD) per night. The "rooms" are decorated sparsely, but you're here to sleep on a plane, not enjoy the decor.

And don't worry, you're not stuck with airplane amenities. The plane has been remodeled with bathrooms and a cafe. And even if sleeping on a plane isn't your idea of fun, they also invite you to stop by, tour the plane, and grab a snack in the cafe.
