Brit horrified to find her £30 a night Airbnb is just an inflatable mattress in a cupboard room


A YOUNG Brit was stunned to find her room in an Airbnb she had booked was just a tiny mattress in a cupboard underneath the stairs.

Social media users called it the “Harry Potter room” due its tiny size.

Zoe, from the UK, was visiting New York and paid £30 a night to stay there while on holiday.

However, when she got there, she found a tiny corner of the room with a roll mat and a duvet.

She explained on Instagram: “The hilarious part is my bedroom.

“Can you please bear in mind I’m paying £30 a night for this and it was the cheapest Airbnb I could find in the whole area.”

She then burst out laughing at the sight of just bedding underneath.

Zoe added: “As you can see, it is literally a cupboard with a little mattress on the floor.

“Hopefully I won’t hit my head on the slanting roof when I sit up in the morning, although I guess I just can’t sit up.”

She then decided to test the bed, saying there was at least an “inflatable mattress” which was a thin camping one.

However, there was no plug socket.

She was also “99 per cent sure” the sheets and pillows hadn’t been washed as there was a “little hair” on the pillow.

Thankfully she had her sleeping bag liner which she could use because she always ends up sleeping in “weird spaces” and used a jumper to make a pillow.

After many asked if she actually stayed in the room, she confirmed she did and was able to sleep, despite a lot of noise outside.

Later in her Instagram story, she said her host told her where she could find clean sheets and refunded her cleaning fee.

Pictures of the Airbnb advert do show the small room, although Zoe said she thought it would at least have a proper mattress, not a camping one.

Shockingly, the room had positive reviews on the Airbnb website, with four and a half stars from more than 100 reviews.

One man joked: “You have to rob them at this point this is your only option.”

Another person remarked: “The audacity of this listing and despite its tiny size they STILL didn’t clean it?!”

A common joke was that it was “Harry Potter’s room” due to being so small.

Not everyone was on her side – one woman slammed her, saying: “Stop being so cheap. Who would ever book this ‘room’ based on those pictures?”
