Pathetic room..
Floor was on slope, so all the furniture is titled.
Worn out old mattresses.
When you book a room outside of house, expectation is to feel comfortable, but it was one of the worst experience ever.

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

Liked: Cleanliness
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
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.
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.
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.
