World’s Busiest and Most Sobering Booking

Have you seen anything like this? For 10 SEK or $15 a night you can book any of the 10 hotel rooms in the Faktum Hotel. The Faktum Hotel is in the heart of an awareness raising program in the city of Gothenburg. The project is intended to help homeless persons’ society integration.

All profit goes to the local Faktum Newspaper that does this charity work to move focus to the 3,400 people homeless living in the city. People book rooms as charity but rarely show up. There is a room in an old cafe, under a train cart, on a bench mattress, in a deserted building, and under many of the bridges in Gothenburg. Powerful work.
