Funky Lodgings in Asia

ProTraveller has a post up today about some unusual hotels in Asia. They list out our some pretty cool places, but they are all a bit too obvious for my taste.

I like my crazy hotels to be places that aren’t putting forth an outright effort to be ridiculous, but are crazy just by virtue of what or where they are. For example, when I was in Osaka, my friend and I stayed in the Nagai Youth Hostel, which – much to our surprise since we booked it over the phone – is located inside of Nagai Stadium, the 50,000-seat home of Cerzo Osaka.

The hostel wasn’t trying to be outrageous, and it certainly wasn’t an overpriced tourist trap. But, it was a cool and funky place to stay, and the picture of the hostel certainly rivals the gaudy places ProTraveller lists:
