Eh'Häusl

While most travellers would expect a palatial hotel suite if they paid over £200 per night, one establishment in Germany offers the exact opposite.

The Eh'häusl Hotel is a small - but perfectly formed - establishment in Germany. It holds the Guinness World Record for the world's smallest hotel, with just 53 metres of floor space. The entire building is just 2.5 metres wide.

The boutique bolthole in Amberg, Bavaria made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2008, but the building itself dates back to 1728.

It was originally used as a way to circumvent the country's marriage laws, before being turned into a hotel by Amberg's Urban Planning Society.

Take a very short tour of hotel below.
