A hotel created out of a Volkswagen Beetle and placed in the middle of the Jordanian desert claims to be the world's smallest hotel.

The car, complete with hand-embroidered sheets and pillows, fits up to two guests at a time.

The creator, Mohammed al Malaheem, created the hotel as a way to show guests how stunning the area can be.

Visitors can visit the "lobby" in a nearby cave, where al Malaheem serves local beverages and snacks.



There's another hotel trying to compete for the title of the world’s tiniest accommodation.

A hotel created out of an old Volkswagen Beetle in the middle of the Jordanian desert claims to be the world’s smallest, inviting only two guests at a time to enjoy its cozy interiors.

Mohammed al Malaheem created the hotel back in 2011, taking the car and decorating it with hand-embroidered sheets and pillows to create the private retreat for two, according to CNN.

World's smallest hotel, Shobak, Jordan 세상에서 가장 작은 호텔 #worldssmallesthotel #hotel #jordan #shobak #thesmallesthotelintheworld #요르단쇼박 #요르단 #세상에서가장작은호텔 A post shared by Jay Bai (재윤) 카프리카 (@aircaprica) on May 5, 2017 at 11:38am PDT May 5, 2017 at 11:38am PDT

Al Malaheem told the publication he created the accommodation as a way to show visitors how stunning the area can be.

“This village is my homeland, I was born here, I grew up here, I lived here,” he said. “I wanted to start a project that improves its situation and places it on the tourism map, because it truly overlooks some of the most beautiful scenery in the region.”

The hotel sits in the desert village of Al Jaya, where visitors will find a serene remote landscape and the 12th-century castle of Montreal.

Throwback!! Jordan 2016. I am sitting the worlds smallest hotel; the car was so beautifully done up from inside. Behind me is the daunting Showbak Castle. As we tolerate sweltering summers in Delhi, these pictures with wind in my hair remind me of happy shivery times. Winter come soon. Also the hotel is managed by an uncle who is as popular as the King of Jordan. He is a repository of ancient coins and artefacts and also some amazing metal pendants. I picked up 3 from him for an amazing bargain of 10 JD 💃. JORDAN I MISS YOU. A post shared by Anushree Kejriwal (@anushreekejriwal) on Apr 18, 2017 at 11:27am PDT Apr 18, 2017 at 11:27am PDT

Below the castle you’ll spot the car, which has a sign next to it claiming it is the world’s smallest hotel, and a “lobby” in a nearby cave where al Malaheem will serve guests local beverages and snacks.

There’s a little kiosk offering antique jewelry, artifacts, and copper items travelers can buy as souvenirs. Al Malheem told CNN he and his family will also prepare guests a Jordanian breakfast or lunch.

Peek inside the car and you’ll find an array of notes and photos from past guests lining its interior.

While the space is tiny, al Malheem is planning to add several other VW Beetles to the mix to allow for more guests to stay at a time, according to CNN.
