Dream job - Hotel in Helsinki seeks "professional sleeper"

Hotel Finn in the heart of Helsinki is seeking a "professional sleeper" for 35 days to test the rooms and write all about it.

Hotel Manager Tio Tikka says he thought up the stunt to help promote the hotel after lengthy renovations.

Tikka said Wednesday that they were looking for a "dynamic person to write a quality blog" about their daily experiences at the basic hotel, which has no bar or restaurant.

People applying for this job must be fluent in Finnish and English, with the knowledge of Russian being a plus. The job opens May 17 with applications closing end of April.

So far more that 600 would-be hotel sleepers have applied, AP reports.
