TikTok user stays at $6 Japan hotel and reveals unsettling details

A backpacker who managed to find possibly the cheapest hotel on offer in Japan took to TikTok to point out some of the weirder details.

Would you spend the night at this one-star hotel for just $6?

If you’ve travelled on a tight, tight budget, you’ve probably come across some interesting finds, Escape reported.

One TikToker user has people divided over where to draw the line – even if it is cheap – after posting a video at a one-star hotel.

While travelling through Japan, TikToker Jesse checked in to the 500 yen per-night stay (about $6) in Osaka, noting that it comes with everything from a ‘funky smell’ to a stained mattress.

Upon entry, Jesse notices the dodgy bedding, rickety TV and overall petite size of the room, before making his way to the questionable window.

“The room came with a pillow, blanket, stained mattress and TV,” he says in the tour.

“The room had a funky smell but I couldn’t open the window because it was broken,” he explained.

Adding to its…appeal, he then demonstrated how small the room is, with just a few inches above his head when standing and lying down.

The tour ends on a slightly more sinister note, as he makes his way to a creepy find at the entrance of the hotel – a poster of wanted criminals.

The comments section was divided on the hotel, with some claiming it was a steal, while others said they’d rather pay a bit more and stay somewhere else.

“I mean, for $90 a month… I’d probably live there,” one person said.

“I’d stay there. Too bad they didn’t have mattresses with plastic covers on it. Great deal,” a commenter added.

“For a place rated 1 star, I can let the room pass,” another explained. “But the wanted poster is too much.”
