Those who travel and prefer to stay in Hotel (and is completely averse to the idea of staying in a hostel) usually makes this choice for space and comfort. That is, except if you're taking a trip to Indonesia, home to the world's narrowest hotel.
To give you an idea, it is only 2.7 meters wide. Have you ever imagined yourself in a place like this?

PituRooms was built on a plot of land this wide that was abandoned. They then decided to transform a place that was used as a dump into something better to attract tourists.
How does the narrowest hotel in the world work?
PituRooms has five floors. Almost talking about accommodation for tourists, it has seven rooms – the interior of which is not as big as you might imagine – which. In fact, they boil down to: a double bed, a desk and a small bathroom.
What you don't have in space can be made up for in decoration, with exclusive works of art.
Furthermore, it may not seem like it, but the narrow hotel still has a Pub, a restaurant and a balcony on the rooftop (terrace, in good old Portuguese).
Guests are always surprised, says the owner
The person who designed the entire PituRooms project was the owner himself, Ary Indra, who is also an architect. He points out, of course, the land was one of the difficulties in building the hotel. However, for him, the hardest part was overcoming the typical mentality of the hotel industry.
You know, that story from the first paragraph: big, wide spaces and huge beds.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, he says that guests are scared, but he reinforces his point of view. “So far, the reaction received from our guests is that they are surprised by how little space is actually needed to live and move around comfortably,” he explained.
