Mine was a guesthouse in Tokyo that a friend booked me into, thinking I would like to stay in the cheapest place available. On arrival the owner wouldn't let me into the place before disinfecting my bags. Then he showed me to the, um, very retro room. There was a TV with a meter that I had to pump coins into. Haven't seen one of those since the 70s! There was only hot water available for about 1 hour per day and he told me when I wanted it switched on I had to shout very loudly. There was an 11.30 pm curfew. Of course I came back from my night out at 11.35pm to find myself locked out. There was a sign on the door with a number for me to call. I spent the next 2 hours phoning before he answered.
By this time I was a little bit annoyed so when he did let me in I picked up my stuff and went to the airport and slept on a bench until my flight departed.
No wonder I was the only guest. He was a bit of a loon.
