A 450-seater jumbo jet has been converted into a unique hotel - letting guests sleep on a Boeing 747. The unique Jumbo Stay hostel has a selection of 27 cabins to choose from, with some en-suite and all with Wi-Fi and flat screen TVs.

The plane - which now remains grounded - can also be used for conferences and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for guests to come and visit.The owner and the man behind Jumbo Stay is Swedish businessman Oscar Divs, who bought the 1976 Boeing 747-200 and converted it into the hostel.

 Oscar said: 'I was getting ready to expand my hostel business in 2006 when I heard about an old wreck of an aircraft for sale at Arlanda.'Since I had for a long time wanted to establish my business at Arlanda I didn't hesitate for a second when this opportunity struck.'The prices at the Jumbo hostel range from 50 euros - around £42 - for a shared single sex dorm to almost 200 euros - £170 - a night for the exclusive pilot's suite.The airplane, a decommissioned jumbo jet built in 1976, was last operated by Transjet, a Swedish airline that went bankrupt in 2002.
