According to Telegraph.co.uk "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". The price might go up as they plan to add free WiFi and big screen TV to the Hotel.
The architects and Owners of this hotel, Frederic Tabary and Yann Falquerho, designed the hotel, which is inside a building dating back to the 1700's to look like the inside of a giant hamster cage. Complete with wheel, water tube, hay stacks for sleeping and a hamster mask you can wear to really get into your hamster fantasy.
Although when most people hear Hamster Hotel, they might think a Hotel for hamsters. But that is not the situation for this hotel. Hamster lovers as well as people who just want to see what it's like to live life as a hamster for a night come to this Hotel in France.
Visitors to the hotel receive a hamster mask, can take spin in a huge hamster wheel, drink water from a water tube and eat hamster food such as grain and seeds. They can climb a ladder to sleep in hay stacks in the suite called the "Hamster Villa" or decide to skip the hamster bed and get a bed more like what they are used to.
Children who have hamsters as pets, adults who wanted to have or had a hamster as a child and even this writer might be tempted to stay a night in this hotel. So the next time you go to book a hotel after you make plans to visit France on your next vacation think about this hotel. Make your vacation even more adventurous by spending the night as a hamster instead of booking a room at one of those more expensive hotels.
Is it possible to see what it's like to live like your hamster? It is now.
