Lucky travellers will have the chance to sleep in one of the world’s most unusual hostel rooms – after developers discovered a secret vault while creating a trendy new stopover for young backpackers. Fit out experts and architects uncovered the hidden 3.2 square metre vault during refurbishment of a former fruit market in the historic heart of Edinburgh, Scotland, a hugely popular destination with young travellers.
Now bosses of the successful St Christopher’s Inn chain have transformed it into the centrepiece room available to guests at its new 139-bed hostel, retaining the foot-thick walls and the original six-inch thick, steel safe door – which has been welded open to avoid any trapped travellers.
