Unclear instructions for car park meant my car was locked in a private car park overnight. Whilst the carpark owner was very understanding, they pointed out many people get this wrong. Rasa Sayang need to clarify their car park entrance is on the junction with Regent Street. Guest house was very basic and a bit tired; but clean and OK if you want a cheap(ish) bed-sit style accommodation.

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 key fob only worked some of the time. So getting into the property was difficult and stressful.

Great budget option close to Bath
The guesthouse met our needs perfectly. It is simple but walking distance to Bath. We paid for the extra parking and worth it! Fan in the room helped tremendously on a hot day. The three of us had enough space, but it wasn't spacious. For the price, it was perfect!

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.

Small but very clean.
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.

Clean and spacious room
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.

I had to call the owners the day before we were due to arrive as we hadn’t received any registration/check in details which were then emailed. Entry is like an Escape Room task! The room was small and the only place to put our bag was on the desk. The TV was on the wall behind the bed so couldn’t watch lying in bed. Hotel was about a 20 minute walk to town. I’m sure there are cheaper, better options around.
