    There was no free car park for a visitor that come from Brunei going there. Until i got fined by DBKK. If can, this place please provided free 1 car park. The towel before we use it, its smells like a dirt shirt. The water heater sometimes it working sometimes not.

    The position of the bed was good. But the design was not the same at the picture.

    Not well maintained. Bed covers are dirty n grey instead of white, the aircon leaked until it wet the floor, the faucet fell off n no water b4 6am. No water at the sink.

    Situated at a premise that is not clean. The urine stench outside 218 is very bad.

    The TV has no signal, and the staff did not seem apologetic. The bathroom sink had no water, and the staff did not help us change rooms. The booking system showed free parking, but on-site we were told to pay for parking ourselves. These basic facilities, courtesy, and honesty were all lacking. Very disappointed. 😞

    The air conditioning is adequately cold and the bed is comfortable.

    When I made my booking, I advised I would be an early check in..My wife and I got there at 8am and was seen by the receptionist, however we were made to wait in the lobby for 2 and one half hours before getting assistance of any kind in checking in. No good morning, no welcome to OYO, no nothing. Once checked in, we were told no TV as the owner had cable cut. The room had no hot water so I changed rooms but the bathroom in the new room had a leaking toilet and smelled bad There was a hole someone had punched in the door and the bathroom mirror had been ripped from the wall as if the last guest were fighting in the room. Lots of roaches. .I woke up to roaches crawling on me in bed during the night. There was a sign at the desk stating free coffee for guest but when I made a cup and asked for condiments I was told they were out. The OYO 218 has been my hotel of choice since 2018 when in KK once or twice a year for vacation , however the last 2 stays, especially this stay has been disappointing, very disappointing. I doubt my wife and I will book another stay at this hotel as the quality seems to have greatly diminished plus the fact that we did not feel welcomed at all. The front desk lady is not very cordial or welcoming. When we checked out, there was no "Thank You or concerns for the quality of our stay. She just sat at there at the lobby table eating. Management should really do a better job in training their staff to ensure professionalism in making the guest feel like they're welcomed and not a bother. Especially when paying money for accomodations !

    I stay 3 nights for around RM184++, basically RM60+ per night. For me, the price can be better like RM40++ to RM50++ per night as this is OYO, a budget hotel with great facilities. I've always been staying at OYO everytime I travel and this is one of the worst one yet. So for price I can give around 2-3stars. Next is location. The location is near CP, which is a good walking distance. It is located at the center of the KK town so of you goes around several times you will find it great. But what dissappoint me was the hotel location/entrance os so difficult to find. After driving long time in hot weather, I tried calling them to ask for the entrance several time but they never pick up. I have to go around and ask (I have to brings two tired kids with me going around and ask) So for location I can also rate 2-3 stars. The bulding design is quite inconvenient because the elevator were inside the mall and at 9pm the mall was locked and if tou want to go to the other side of the bulding, you have to walk around outside the buldinf and the elevator is not all functioned. About room facilities/accomodation, this what dissappoint me the most. They said (if I'm not mistaken) the room is sound proof but when I went to get some water near the reception, my kids voice were heard. But it's okay, that is not the main problem as nobody had complaint any loud voice coming from us (its kids what do you espect). Here is the main point. They said there will be a FREE PARKING around (in public) for the customer but I have to pay quite amount of money for the parking. Can you imagine parking inside were RM10/hour at night?? So what is the purpose of having a budget hotel if you have to pay so much for parking?? Luckily I ask around and get a place for parking for just RM4/DAY at next bulding. Thank god. But there is NO FREE PARKING as they mentioned! You have to edit that back in your description!
