Would YOU want to spend the night in a lookout tower? Hikers' rest stop transformed into a bolthole with stunning mountain views for just £5.50 a stay (but there are no toilets or running water)

Already the perfect spot for hikers to gain a bird's eye view of their next trek, a lookout tower is now offering outdoor enthusiasts the chance to bed down for the night in a cabin with breath-taking panoramas.

Measuring almost 100ft, architects in Hungary have transformed the former lookout tower into an inexpensive place to stay.

Costing as little as £5.50 a night - but unfortunately with no bathroom facilities - Nartarchitects have constructed three sizeable rooms that overlook a mountain range in Galyatető, Hungary. 

Situated close to a popular hiking trail, the lookout tower offers visitors a cheap place to rest before setting out on a trek

Inside, hikers will have to roll out their sleeping bags onto wooden pallets and there's plenty of room for luggage

The lookout tower was extended to almost double the size so that the ultimate view of the surrounding countryside could be offered

The lookout tower is now one of the biggest in Hungary after the designers extended it from 55ft to 98ft.

The tower is close to a popular hiking route and features three shelters capable of sleeping up to six people in each cabin.

However running water and toilet facilities will have to be accessed at the local tourist information centre.

Natural light is provided by a series of porthole-like windows (left) and the lofty view from the stairwell (left)

Guests have to enter their rooms via a porthole after clambering up a metal stairwell, which goes all the way to the top of the structure

Gizmag reports that the rooms are accessed by a circular hatch with floor space inside measuring 11.5ft x 11.5ft.

A steel staircase runs all the way up to the roof that offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, high above the bordering trees.

Visitors will have to roll out their sleeping bags onto wooden pallets, and light will be available inside the cabins via a number of porthole-like windows.

The lookout tower provides guests with the perfect spot to relax after a hard day's hiking, with panoramic views for miles

These plans released by the architects reveal how the original tower was extended to offer more facilities
