DAS PARKHOTEL – SLEEP IN A PIPE



Hello again!

This time we are going to talk about a “hotel” that some people maybe will not like it despite it is very original.

It is located in the Ottensheim Park, about 10 km near Linz (Austria) and it is constructed from repurposed and very robust as a drain pipes. 

The idea emerged from the Austrian artist Andreas Strauss that thought that it would be a good idea to recycle pipes into a kind of accommodation. This is a cheap way to provide lodge to those tourists with a low budget and that are fed up of hostels. 



Das park Hotel a curious “resort” with 3 giant pipes with a comfortable double bed, a little table, a lamp, a trunk to maintain your pertinences, Wifi and a system of ventilation as a window. The toilets are in the park and if you want to breakfast in this place you can go to one of the economical restaurants that are inside the park. 

To book you should access to the website, fill in the application and you will have a code to open the door. This code allow to stay maximum for 3 days and the “check in” is after 3 pm and the “check out” is before 12 am. It opens the first of May because of the climate.

There is not a fixed rate for the staying, it depends on the customers opinion but the average is situated from 7 to 20 € per room.  Do not be stingy and pay a similar amount.

One disadvantage if you are looking for peace 
is that this park is quite crowded and there are concerts of DJ’s.

One advantage is that you can have a boat trip through the Danube, as this park is in its riverside. You are staying in an outdoor  hotel without neighbours than disturb you during the night.  




- We would like to lodge here just to try how is to sleep in pipe and also in a park, and you?
