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.

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

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.

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

Good walkable location. Busy, noisy road. Stairs very narrow. Needed to show which way to turn the handle on the room to open it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The key fob only worked some of the time. So getting into the property was difficult and stressful.

Very very noisy, no soundproofing at all
Very noisy, can hear all talking and movement from the rooms above and around. wafer thin walls, very creeky floorboards in room above, thought they were going to come through the ceiling, more like a hostel than a hotel, couldn't sleep here at all!!

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.
