Casavilla Hotel Taiping

The room was fairly comfortable, the toilet was clean, and there’s an elevator. Parking is limited, and the area outside gets quite dark after 10pm. Inside, the hotel has an old-school feel. It could work for solo travelers, but families staying more than two nights may be better off finding another hotel.

The first room they gave us was dirty. My aunt spoke up and we were moved, but the main difference was that the curtains were a little cleaner. The towels were yellowish and the toilet smelled like cockroaches. The receptionist was on a call with a woman while handling our booking, which felt really unprofessional. Worst OYO I’ve stayed at, and I won’t be back.

The hotel was dirty, and both the lift and room smelled bad. The TV wouldn’t turn on, there was no water heater, and the aircon only blew like a fan without cooling. The front reception wasn’t friendly either. There were cockroaches in the room, so be careful. A very bad experience, I can’t recommend it.

For the low price, it’s just a basic clean room to sleep in. Bring your own water heater. If the TV is broken, nobody comes to fix it. I didn’t mind much since I was there to sleep during a business trip.
