Decent price in a good location for east Oxford. That’s where the accolades end. From overly annoying/“automated” checkin to lack of comfort, this place has a lot of downside.
This is a very handy site to town and food shops. Good to have parking available but very expensive when already paying for a room. The room was nothing like the one presented in the picture, it was very much smaller, with just a single bed. Other facilities in the room were good. I would stay here again, however there are no staff on site and the helpline phone number did not work.
It was absolutely fine, no frills. The toilet seat was badly fitted though, and the loo roll holder fitting was coming out of the wall. Wouldn’t hold it against them and would stay again.

Staff friendly, room clean, practical.
Parking ok. Close to central town.
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The interface with both expedia and rasa sayang house was terrible. The one person I spoke to from checkincheckout was good, but otherwise the computer voice and texts were unhelpful. I won't use either again.
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.
Its a box standard room. Happy it was there and the happy it has 24 hour support.

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

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.
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.
The bed was missing a leg in the middle (which I found under the bed and "fixed", but definitely not as a permanent solution) and the floor was slanted. These two things together meant that when lying on the bed, I was slightly folded into a V, with my hips low and my feet higher than my head.
