Absolultely tiny room - claustrophobic

Friendly reception and breakfast provided for a decent price. However, the room was titchy - barely 20cm on either side of the bed and 50cm at the foot of the bed. The bathroom didnt look particularly clean as i found hair from other people there, and i occasionally smelt wafts of urine. The bottom sheet of the bed just wouldnt stay in place, exposing the matresse underneath.
