Travel Tips

How far would you go to save $1?

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

If you’ve travelled on a very strict budget, you’ve probably come across some interesting finds. 

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.

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.
