Visitors to a major Chinese city can enjoy an incredibly cheap night's stay in a hotel - if they can handle the location of the toilet.
The eight-square metre room is now available to rent in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province in central China.
As well as being tiny, the room has an interesting added feature of a toilet which is located right next to the bed.
Blogger Hei Mao Zhang recently spent a short stay in the room and filmed himself catching some rest on the bed.
To the left of his head - well within reach at perhaps 30cm away from is ear - is a toilet, which also looks like it doubles up as a bedside table.

While it may not be a typical room layout, it's undeniably convenient, especially if you're feeling queasy.
At the side of the bed is the sink, which is close enough to allow for face washing while snuggled up, or handwashing while still sat on the toilet.
Hei only spent three hours in the room, having visited out of curiosity.
“I opened a door and saw a corridor. On both sides of the corridor are such small rooms which should be part of an apartment that has been split into five to six small cubicles," he explained, Red Star News reported. But the bed is too close to the toilet. The smell in the room is a bit ‘subtle."
The hotel owner said that the micro-rooms are in high demand, which makes sense given their price.
As small as they are, it's hard to say no to a hotel room costing 60 yuan (£7.20).
Most of the guests to the hotel are patients or relatives using a major health centre a few hundred metres away.
The video of the hotel has gone viral in China, prompting many remarks about its diminutive size.
“Even a prison cell is bigger than this,” one person said.
Another added: “Maybe if he switches to the other side of the bed to sleep, he will find the ‘smell’ less prominent."
A third simply said: "It’s depressing.”
As small as the Chinese hotel is, it is no match for Eh’haeusl in Amberg, Germany.
Measuring just 8ft wide and with a floorspace of 53 sq m, the quirky property currently holds the Guinness World Record for the world's smallest hotel (a title it has held since 2008).
Sandwiched between two buildings, the building can only accommodate two guests at a time, although it does still offer up plenty of comforts and amenities.
There's the 'Red Salon' where guests can relax, a cosy bedroom with a double bed, a flat screen TV and fireplace, and even a mini spa complete with a whirlpool tub and rainbow hues.
The Eh’haeusl boasts a quirky history. It was built in 1728, when young couples needed proof of land ownership in order to marry.
A savvy businessman decided to build the tiny house between two existing buildings. Couples could buy the house, get married, and then sell it on to the next couple looking to tie the knot. In fact, the hotel's name Eh’haeusl loosely but aptly translates to 'marriage house'.
In 2008, it was renovated and transformed into a hotel, picking up the title of the smallest hotel in the world in the process.
