Volkswagen Beetle claims to be 'smallest hotel in world'
What is claimed to be the world's smallest hotel - a stripped-out Volkswagen Beetle – has been found at the foot of the 'Montreal' Crusader castle in the Jordanian desert in a tiny village called al-Jaya.
After the car was severely damaged, its owner Mohammed al-Malaheem decided to convert it "into the Smallest Hotel in the World." The hotel opened its doors in 2011 and has since then accommodated around 160-165 guests, who according to Mohammed, prefer his Lilliputian roadhouse to a "five star hotel."
For Malaheem, the four-wheeled hotel is just the beginning, as his ambition is to establish a Volkswagen hotel with ten or fifteen rooms from Volkswagen cars in the tourist areas nearby with a mountain side view, though he regrettably admitted that his pension could not cover the cost of expansion.
Despite Mohammed's honest aspirations, the position of the "smallest hotel in the world" is currently occupied by a 2.5 meter-wide Eh'häusl Hotel in Germany's Amberg in Bavaria, according to the Guinness World Records.
