A TikTok User Reviewed A 'Creepy' $5 Hotel Room In Japan & It Was Basically A Closet
Apparently it came with a smell 🤢
Hotels can be an expensive part of any trip, and it's hard to argue with a room for $5 a night.
But you're going to get what you pay for, as TikTok user Jesse Ogundiran found out during a trip to Osaka, Japan.
Ogundiran decided to stay in the cheapest one-star room he could find in the city, and his "Creepy Hotel" review on TikTok has already shocked millions of viewers to date.
The TikTok user narrates his visit to the tiny, closet-sized room, where there's barely enough room for him to stand up or sleep.
"The room came with pillow, blankets, stained mattress and TV," he said.
"The room had a funky smell but I couldn't even open the window because it was broken, and at the entrance, there was even a wanted poster of the criminals."
@jesseogn Would you stay at this hotel?? #japan #tiktokjapan #japantiktok #japantravel #osaka #creepy
Ogundiran wanted to check out the hotel, called Kaname, after seeing the unbelievably low price of a room, he told Insider.
The room cost him only 500 yen or about US$5 per night.
"It was very small," he said to Insider. He added that the lobby and the check-in process were normal, but the room itself "smelled like pee" and he had to make his own bed on a "stained" foam mattress.
He added that the walls were very thin and that there was a communal bathroom on each floor, but shampoo and towels cost extra.
Ogundiran pointed out that people will often pay about $20 just to get a capsule hotel in Tokyo, so this was an unusual find.
"It was $5 so I can't complain," he said.
