Alessandro Santos, an architect based in Brazil has successfully implemented the idea of a Bitcoin Hostel. The hostel was inaugurated recently in Paraty, a city 260km from Sao Paolo.
The hostel is decorated with a cryptocurrency theme but more impostantly, all of the hostels services, including breakfast and tours, can be paid for in cryptocurrency. Additional services include free wifi, air conditioning and what the hostels describes as a "laptop friendly workspace".
Initially, the hostel will be accepting Bitcoin (BTC), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Monero (XMR), although it plans to add other cryptocurrencies over time. The hostel is available to book via Booking.com and AirBnB, amongst others.
Santos hopes the hostel will help the crypto ecosystem to get more mainstream attention.
