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

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
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.

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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Perfectly acceptable no-contact lodgings for the price, with the benefit of walkability to central Oxford (if you're a good walker). The management was accessible by phone. The procedure for accessing the building and the room (once you are present on the site of the hotel) was clear.
Two small suggestions: (1) stop relying on the app to verify identity, as not everyone has a phone that it works on. (2) if you tell guests the kitchen has coffee making facilities etc., make sure the kitchen really has a French press or filter cone or automatic drip coffeemaker (or SOMETHING).
Otherwise, all good, recommended. Just remember to call the management in advance about identity, and bring your Aeropress if you want to make coffee.

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.
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.
Its a box standard room. Happy it was there and the happy it has 24 hour support.

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.
Awful room unclean
To didn’t work
Positive is location but generally really unhappy

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.
