Oscar Dios, the founder of Jumbo Hostel, was looking to expand his hotel business when he heard about a grounded 747 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Dios purchased the defunct 747 (abandoned by a bankrupt carrier in 2002) and has since transformed it into a hostel at the Stockholm airport.
Jumbo Hostel offers 25 rooms, most of which have three beds. All together, the hostel offers 72 beds, one relatively luxurious on the upper deck. The rooms are approximately six square meters with three meter to the ceiling.
All rooms have a flat screen TV where you can, among other things, watch the times of departure for all flights. Everywhere in the jumbo jet you have access to wireless broadband. All rooms offer a shower and toilet in the corridor, except for cockpit suite upstairs which boast its own shower and WC.
The cockpit has converted into a luxury suite with a panoramic view of the airport.
