OYO 89715 CK Hotel 2

As this is obviously a review of a 1 star budget hotel a 3 star rating aint too bad imo. We paid for 3 double rooms for 1 night. The cost was £39 / 211MYR. When we arrived, it turns out that 1 of our rooms was not available because the previous guest took the keys, tv remote and aircon switch home with him. We ended up getting 1 twin room and 1 double room instead but no discount. The rooms are up 1 or 2 flights of stairs, depending what room you get, so if you have heavy luggage like we did, prepare for a workout as there is no lift. The rooms are tiny and even with 2 ppl and bags it feels too cramped. They are also quite dark and I am not sure the locks would survive even a light kick, so be wary of leaving your valuables. The rooms were of average cleanliness, the AC was very good, especially since its such a small room, we did not try the TV. The shower is noisy and there is no bathroom ventilation. There was also a frequent scent of sewage from the bathroom drain which was present in both rooms we booked. Probably the worst aspect is the soundproofing... or complete lack of it. You can hear every single noise and this is no joke. People walking past, opening the entrance (loud alarm noise each time the door opens at all hours of the night), people running their shower. There were kids faffing about in the hall at all hours of the night and day treating it like a playground. We stayed at opposite ends of the same floor and my cousin said she heard me laughing at a joke from my room down the hall. The hotel also lost all water pressure for half an evening. Not sure if this was a hotel fault or a supply issue so will not mark them down for this. Manager was friendly and responsive, quick to solve problems. Malay receptionist could have been a bit more on the ball but it was ramadan so perhaps she was tired from fasting. Overall, we used this as an emergency booking for a 1 night stay. It did the job.
