I've already booked a room with shared wheel ...

A French hotel is offering guests the chance to live like a hamster for a day.

For 99 euros (£88) a night, visitors to the hotel in Nantes can feast on hamster grain, get a workout by running in a giant wheel and sleep in hay stacks in the suite called the "Hamster Villa".

It is the latest venture from owners Frederic Tabary and Yann Falquerho, who run a company which rents out unusual venues to adventure-seekers. Both architects, the men designed the room in an 18th century building to resemble the inside of a hamster's cage.

Awww, man. This was disappointing! I was hoping there'd be brightly coloured tunnels and the bed would look like a nest, and that the drinking apparatus would be more like an actual hamster's. This place just looks like a dirty cramped first floor of a house with a giant wheel inside of it 70-432.

This reminds me of the hotels in Boston. There is something special about them which makes you believe you are living in a whole other dimension. In autumn I'm going to Lyon, France, to a friend of mine and I will ask her if she knows where I can find it because I want to try it too. Thank you for sharing this information with us.

You are already a hamster, you live and work inside the daily wheel of Qatar. Could you see those whiskers and round ears growing everyday? Lets not forget the big pouch to keep the extra food.

Do the deluxe suites have those little sealed balls that you can get into and roll around the room in, I wonder....?
