OYO 796 Jr Hotel

Looks like this hotel has revamped its Google presence where I had to review it again. I am a frequent visitor this year so I shall give an honest review. Likes: Friendly staff, easy check-in, good location with nearby Shell, several late night groceries, workshop, laundry, Thai-style Malay restaurant and Mamak restaurant within 5 minutes walking. There is a stall selling Nasi Kukus Ayam Berempah which is very delicious and cheap less than 2 minutes walk from the lobby. The surrounding environment is calm and quite despite pungent odor from the main drainage opposite the hotel and occasional sounds by Mat Rempits and passing lorries and trellers. The room facilities are simple, spacious with functional aircond and heater, clean corridor and no weird sounds at night. Dislikes: Hahaha...well, I said I shall give an honest review so here it is. 1. The good old days, the pillows were quite fat and squishy but now it is not. 2. WiFi at First Floor always having problem. When addressing the issue, the receptionist always say this generic retort - "for the time being for the past 3-4 days, we are having some technical difficulties on the wifi at first floor". I mean, since early this year you guys are still having the same issue? 3. Lavatories in certain rooms (especially 103, 204 and sometimes 203) are not really being properly kept clean. Mould and stains are visible with naked eyes. 4. Room floor sometimes can be dusty. Recent stay (again in September 2019) at 103 was full with dust and dirt around the bed. Mould and black stain in the lavatory are also visible (pictures as evidence) but the janitor and the managements seems oblivious despite several tap on their shoulder. 5. Recent stays in Oct 2019 encountered some wifi problem at all floor except the lobby. I think the management opted for budget cuts. Informed the male Indian staff (must be the boss) but apparently no follow-up is being made. Suggestion to Patrons: Bring your own sandal to keep your feet and bed clean. Also bring your own extension because no power plug is installed beside the bed in certain room. Recent stay in room 210 (deluxe double) is the worst because it is located the farthest behind thus NO wifi signal at all so please DO NOT take this room. The room has traditional glass window so when I entered the room, it was already opened, hence the mosquitoes (because beneath exterbal the room is dark alley and drains). Suggestions to the Hotel Management: FIXED YOUR WIFI and take some time to SCRUB AND CLEAN the shower nozzles and handles in all room. Bonus Point: Patron can call the hotel to reserve personal choice on the room (based on room booking type) prior check-in even made via online platform (subject to availability). Additional Info: I never opened the TV so I am unable to advise the condition of the channels. Verdict: I always come here because of the spacious room, cheap rate, accessible Malay eateries, late night groceries and very nice staff.

Changed 3 different rooms on the same day. The window for first room was broken, at least 10 mosquitoes flew in. Then I requested for 2nd room, same issue then window was broken, unable to sleep as well, the never ending mosquitoes flew in. Then finally requested for a room without window and problem solved. I strongly suggest the staff really look into the maintenance of the room. The +1 for me is the staff is extremely patient and helpful. Even after all the hassle, the lady at the reception table still patient help me to solve the issue.

Price is similar to 3-4 stars in town. Cons:Avoid this place. Nothing to shout about. Lacking of customer comfort (hot water for coffee or emergency hunger pangs to make instant noodles)Too many mosquitoes| smelly| leaking toilet| no TV channel| very small room :((((Noisy.Very far away u need to order grab to get around.Pros:Speedy wifi :)))Bed is very comfy! :)))Bed sheet is super clean and fluffy.We wanted to extend for another 2 more days although the Cons are there| since we like the bed with the price we paid| who cares| I said.Reception is charging us Walk In Price vs On line we paid which is their total loss... We shifted to another hotel which is RM10 cheaper :)Thanks anyway.

. It was perfect for the price, had a quite peaceful room which was what I wanted. Staff was very pleasent and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Very good value for money. . I wish there were dustbins outside the room in the corridor area for food packages etc. I had to walk 2 floors down to dispose as i don't like to dispose of empty food packages in the room.

Not satisfy because got extra charge pay count by the hotel management

prices are good but availability of room is small. call in advance

Decent place at reasonable price. You may expect loud sound of the aircond compressor, noise from the outside and neighbors at next room. Overall comfortable & convenient place to stay.

Room and bathroom looks like master bed room terrace house. Bed standard hotel. Location good.nearest town.
