Sewage pipe, contrary to appearances, does not have to be used for removing sewage only. Creators of "Das Park Hotel", located in Ottensheim in Austria came up with a rather unusual and at the same time interesting usage of pipes.

This eco-friendly complex consists of huge sewer pipes converted into micro- apartments. Each minimalistic apartment has 6.5 feet of diameter, which is almost 199 cm. The apartments have windows which ensure the sunlight, additionally interior is decorated with paintings of Austrian artist -Thomas Latzel Ochoa. The basic features consist of a double bed, storage space and a place to recharge equipment.

These unusual apartments do not have bathrooms, but the hotel ensures the room with toilets, showers, as well as a cafe and a mini bar. There is also a swimming pool nearby. The hotel is open from May to October. If you think in this hotel there is nothing to surprise you - you are wrong. What is the most unconventional element are the rules concerning the charging rates. The system is called "pay as you please", and more specifically- as much as you price the room.
