About Mabul Island
Pulau Mabul is one of the best muck diving sites in the world. The small island off the south-eastern coast of Sabah often astounds its visitors with just how close the corals are to the shore. This destination is also home to many exotic small marine lives, such as hybroids, ascidians, hingebeak shrimps, Pipefish, leaf fish and paper scorpionfish. Mabul Island initially gained its share of attention from divers in the 1990s due to its proximity to the famous Sipadan Island, which is only 15 kilometers away. In 1992, Sipadan-Mabul Resort (SMART) purchased a section of the land on the east of Mabul, and with that, a location is set to welcome visitors to make wonderful memories in this once inaccessible island.Read also: 10 Best Things to do in Mabul Island

Jumbo Stay Hostel, Arlanda Stockholm
Tuesday, September 8, 2015
“You need to spend a night at Jumbo Hostel when you land in Stockholm. It’s really cool!”
I gladly
obliged, knowing that my cousin would only recommend the best places as she’s
an avid globetrotter herself.
I arrived
at 10pm from Vilnius and I wanted to spend the night at a nearby hotel so catching
a train from Stockholm Central Station early next morning would be a breeze. It almost felt like I was destined to spend a night here. Though the decision was rather pricey, the overall experience was fantastic.
Jumbo Stay Hostel, Arlanda
Jumbo Stay
is a one-of-a kind hostel which provides a 27-room lodging within a real aircraft.
The retired Boeing 457 jumbo jet, also a former Pam-Am plane is located just 65
feet away from the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Sweden.
Visitors have a few options to choose from – rooms or dorms which
accommodate one to four adults, or the cockpit which has been transformed into
a luxury suite with a panoramic view of the airport. Shower and
toilet facilities are clean and plenty, while each room comes with a flat
screen TV. Open and staffed around the clock, Jumbo Stay is perfect for those
arriving late at night. Food and beverages are sold at the reception (at a much
higher price), while breakfast buffet starts at three o’clock in the morning. Complimentary
Wi-Fi is available throughout the aircraft.

How to Get to Jumbo Stay Hostel Arlanda
Exit the
airport terminal and walk to Bus Stop
No. 3. The yellow ALFA shuttle
bus is free of charge and it runs four
times every hour from 0400 to 2400.
The journey to Jumbo Stay takes about 6
minutes.
In my opinion, Jumbo Stay is a must-see, but it is only good for a one-night stay only. While there are shuttle buses available, there isn't anything to see or do within short walking distance from the hostel. Room rates are also pretty steep, costing up to €51.72 for one bed in a 4-person dorm. (I stayed in a €63.22 two-bed room because cheaper options were booked out).
Booking ahead is highly advisable.
