A room at the Jane Hotel, a new hotel built around the concept of budget conscious travel with style in New York is becoming popular within this category of tourists.

Opening in stages until the end of the summer, the Jane Hotel will offer approximately 150 small rooms - seven feet wide by eight feet long - at less than €73 per night and slightly larger "captain" rooms for more.

The retro rooms with wood panelling feature a 23-inch flat-screen LCD television, free wireless internet, storage space below the bed and an iPod dock.

Hotels with modern amenities and tiny budget rooms have been fashionable for years and Europe while slowly gaining popularity in the US. (AFP)
