French hamster hotel lets guests live like rodents
It's a unique concept according to its creators. A hotel in the French city of Nantes is offering the chance for people to become a hamster.
Travel news homepage For 99 euros (£88) a night, visitors to the hotel in Nantes can feast on hamster grain, get a workout by running in a giant wheel and sleep in hay stacks in the suite called the "Hamster Villa".
It is the latest venture from owners Frederic Tabary and Yann Falquerho, who run a company which rents out unusual venues to adventure-seekers. Both architects, the men designed the room in an 18th century building to resemble the inside of a hamster's cage.
"The hamster in the world of children is that little cuddly animal. Often, the adults who come here have wanted or did have hamsters when they were small," said Mr Falquerho, who was dressed as a hamster.
This reminds me of one of the theme rooms at the Blue Propeller hotel in Berlin...
However, the price is soon to go up as today's hamsters need, according to the owners, Wifi and a giant TV screen.
