OYO Rooms Bukit Bintang Jalan Pudu

The water facilities, bathroom included, were much worse than I expected. When I asked a staff member a question, they were lying down and yawning as they answered. Based on my own stay, this is the worst budget hotel I've experienced so far, and I felt that the management and service standards fell short of what I expected. That's just my personal impression, and other guests may feel differently. If your main priority as a young backpacker is the lowest possible price, you might see the place another way.

My room was already full of tiny ants and bugs when I arrived looking for some peace. They marched across the floors, walls and outlets like they paid rent. Staff said they couldn't do anything about the "small animals." I asked for a proper cleaning, but nothing happened and the bugs kept coming. They refunded only the last 4 nights because I was leaving anyway, but I had to leave early and pay extra for somewhere else. One star for the free micro-safari, if you like bug roommates. The room was also really loud. I was in 608, and it felt like sleeping on the street. It's a bunk bed with a desk underneath, so the top gets extremely hot and the AC doesn't reach it. You will cook!

For the price, the stay was still worth it, and I appreciated having a hair dryer. I hope they improve the cleanliness, though. My first-floor single room had two small holes that made me uneasy. The shower towel was stained, and while the sheet looked clean, I felt itchy. I found the soundproofing acceptable for the price, despite the negative comments I'd read. The metal bed frame squeaked when I moved, so I hope I didn't disturb anyone. I liked being on the first floor because I could easily take the stairs.

I liked staying here. The area is strategic, and the hotel feels private. The owner keeps it restricted so nobody can enter without a hotel card. Good job keeping privacy and security a priority. I hope to stay here again and again.
