Guest Reviews
- James (4/5): - The room was a bit mouldy and smelt musty. The ceiling is so thin you can hear everything in the room directly above which is unfortunate if the people above you start jumping around and moving furniture at 3am. The TV didn't work. The bed was uncomfortable. Check in at 4pm and check out by 11am is a rip off. I wouldn't recommend it and definitely wouldn't stay here again.
- Bren (10/5): - Clean, affordable and convenient
- Matthew (2/5): - Awful room unclean To didn’t work Positive is location but generally really unhappy
- Jacqueline (2/5): - Too much reliance on having to have smart phones to receive emails with codes on. To get the key took four attempts on the pad. Key takes moving it about before it opens the door. I prefer to have a person at a reception to help with any problems instead of someone on the end of a email or telephone.
- Karina (8/5): - Good location.
- Treeni (2/5): - Booked for two days 12th and 13th July the previous day, Did not receive any link until called and checked in the morning of 12th. Even after providing selfies and proofs still no instructions until mid day. called and I was reassured will be sent immediately. Until 10pm on 12th July received nothing. As too late for check in called back and after providing details several times again only finally sent the entering instructions. No explanation. I have requested refund for the first night as it was too late to come for check in after a busy long shift at the hospital. No reply yet . It was very bad experience and worst check in process
- Jennifer (10/5): - Room was large and clean. Clean linens and soft towels. A fan was already provided since it was very warm in Oxford during our visit. Check in was easy and check out was even easier. Great location for walking to Cowley Rd for meals.
- Rebecca (6/5): - Very functional and clean. Pleased there was a fan to available in the searing heat. Areas that need improving: I) windows that close fully to keep out the traffic noise ii) hot water available to shower iii) BBC One available iv) Tea bags that haven’t split in the packets
- Michael (10/5): - Rasa Sayang house is a short walk from Oxford city centre and most of the colleges. The hotel has many amenities and the self check-in worked, you just can’t show up a minute before check-in time.
- Michael (8/5): - Had trouble with codes
- Bev (6/5): - Good walkable location. Busy, noisy road. Stairs very narrow. Needed to show which way to turn the handle on the room to open it.
- Matt (6/5): Decent accommodation - Overall good stay, pillows a little hard and room was very warm, despite windows open, fan on and radiator off. Key fob system a little temperamental, espcially front door.
- Charles (4/5): - checking was not convenient
- Alex (2/5): - .
- Phil (6/5): Convenient location, but could do with improvement - Convenient location, if you're happy with a fully self-service check-in and stay. Room is small, bathroom very small, but both functional enough. Good amenities in the room. Room was overheated, there was a ceiling fan built into the light, but only worked if the light was on, so no way of having the fan on at night while you sleep. Shower was weak, bedside light dim and buzzes.
- Peter (8/5): A handy stop - The room was basic but had a microwave and fridge. Great for my needs, a comfortable place to sleep for a night close to the high street
- Rob (6/5): - Unclear instructions for car park meant my car was locked in a private car park overnight. Whilst the carpark owner was very understanding, they pointed out many people get this wrong. Rasa Sayang need to clarify their car park entrance is on the junction with Regent Street. Guest house was very basic and a bit tired; but clean and OK if you want a cheap(ish) bed-sit style accommodation.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Meh - Fine place to flop in East Oxford. Zero frills and no service of any kind.
- viorel (8/5): - overall, a nice place
- Thomas (6/5): - This hotel met my needs. I was in Oxford doing research for two days (three night stay). The room was clean, the hotel quiet, and the property in easy walking distance of town. There was one major problem: the mattress was so worn out that I could feel the springs through the cover, and I woke up with a back ache. Renters should also be aware that the property is a renovated set of Victorian row house that are very vertical. Be prepared to lug your suitcase up two or three flights on a very narrow staircase. Finally, although I specified "pay at the property," the owners charged my card immediately. I suspect that is because there is no personal check-in. Renters are sent a code to access a box that contains a fob and room key. If that is the policy, it should be stated on the Expedia site.
- SAM (8/5): - The key fob only worked some of the time. So getting into the property was difficult and stressful.
- Susan (8/5): Great budget option close to Bath - The guesthouse met our needs perfectly. It is simple but walking distance to Bath. We paid for the extra parking and worth it! Fan in the room helped tremendously on a hot day. The three of us had enough space, but it wasn't spacious. For the price, it was perfect!
- Desmond (2/5): - Room was hot stuffy grosse and underwhelming. I disnt like the bed nor the bathroom facilities. It seemed the room hadn't been opened in months. Musty and moldy smell throughout the room. Couldnt stay for more than 10 min. In the room. Disappointed
- Stuart (8/5): - Room was basic but clean and did what was needed. Only comment was on hottest night of the year no aircon or fan so didn’t sleep well but 2 mile walk to where I needed to be so good location for city centre
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location at a reasonable price - Great location for anyone wanting to stay close to the city centre. Good facilities in the room including a fridge freezer and microwave. Mattresses could do with be replaced but still enjoyed our stay.
- Fermin (10/5): - The stairs were too shallow and too steep. It was quite hard to bring luggage upstairs. Everything was great otherwise
- Thyrone (10/5): - the room was clean and quiet. the keys were easy to get and the room had everything you needed for a 1 night stay in oxford. This obviosuly isn't 5 star luxury but it was comfortable, clean and conveniently placed for all our needs.
- Jeff (8/5): - We recently stayed at Rasa Sayang and found it to be a good value for the money in a convenient location. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. While the chairs around the table were quite cheap and not very comfortable, the bathroom was adequate and met our needs. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, our stay at Rasa Sayang was pleasant. Considering the good location and reasonable price, we would stay here again.
- Caroline (10/5): Small but very clean. - Although the room was small, I was only staying for one night and I was on my own so it didn’t really matter. It was very clean and welcoming and in a great location. I would definitely stay there again. The pillow was a little bit on the lumpy side but that’s my only complaint.
- Johan (10/5): Clean and spacious room - The room was nice, spacious, and clean. The check-in was a breeze. The shower was a little bit smaller. The location is a little bit out of the way. Overall, we have a good time staying there. It was a good value. I highly recommend it.
- Carol (6/5): - I had to call the owners the day before we were due to arrive as we hadn’t received any registration/check in details which were then emailed. Entry is like an Escape Room task! The room was small and the only place to put our bag was on the desk. The TV was on the wall behind the bed so couldn’t watch lying in bed. Hotel was about a 20 minute walk to town. I’m sure there are cheaper, better options around.
