It was decided that shipping containers located at the Eden Project would provide an ideal and sustainable new hostel.<\/p>\n<p>The ground breaking project was put together by a partnership which included Eden, The Youth Hostel Association and Snoozebox. Planning permission for the project was given in July of this year and in next to know time, the shipping containers were converted into a hostel capable of housing up to 228 people in 58 bedrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The shipping containers contain all the amenities expected in a standard youth hostel with the obvious novelty of being a living accommodation made out of a structure which was once used for transporting good on a ship!<\/p>\n<p>People who stay at the new hostel can also enjoy en-suite bathrooms and flat-screen TVs included in the accommodation. It is anticipated that the new youth hostel will be popular due to its ideal setting and its setting overlooking Eden and St Austell Bay in the distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipping containers and youth hostels \u2013 they\u2019re not an obvious match made in heaven, but at The Eden Project in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,152],"tags":[114,115,132,133,156],"class_list":["post-149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jpc-blog","category-shipping-containers","tag-jpc-blog","tag-jpc-containers","tag-shipping-containers","tag-temporary-accommodation","tag-traveling-container-hotel-rooms"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
