These pods are moored in a canal in The Hague. They used to be oil rig life rafts, but now they serve as hotel rooms. Except for an exterior lock and a chemical toilet, they remain in their original state. This way, you can get the true life raft-in-a-canal experience!
Denis Oudendijk, the owner, established this business in 2004 as an art project. He plans to expand it to include pods in Amsterdam and Nantes.

Great idea for a hotel, but you need to securely tie up, or you may wake up in the morning a few miles downstream.

Could be fun if they upgraded the interior.

A fine example of adaptive reuse... and if there's an oil spill you're all set.
