OYO 2085 Chrysanta Hotel

Wouldn’t recommend it.

The bathroom was roomy, the TV worked, and the WiFi was very fast, probably because there weren’t many guests. The AC cooled the room well, it was tidy, and it’s close to RSHS. For a low price, the downsides were manageable: just one outlet, no usable hot water despite what staff said, and a slightly dirty ladle even though there was a shower. The toilet broke overnight but was fixed the next morning, and the mattress creaked a bit when moved. Pretty satisfactory overall.

The bathroom and room were filthy, with black water, dust, and a stuffy feel. At night the faucet wouldn’t run, although the sink tap did. The sheets, blanket, pillow, towel, and curtain all looked very dirty, as if they hadn’t been washed or changed. There was no soap or toothpaste, only one outlet shared through a 3-in-1 plug, and the TV channels were blurry. It was dark and unsettling there, with poor lighting. There was also no Qibla direction marker, which made it hard for Muslims to find the direction to pray. We booked through OYO because the app made the hotel look clean and nice, but it wasn’t what we expected. I really don’t recommend it.

The sheets had yellow stains and a used smell when we got to the room. Staff said fresh ones would have to wait until morning because laundry was only available then. They should check the sheets more carefully.
