No trolley nor bell boy, no designated parking, sharing iron. Room is quite small (I am travelling with 4 kids). Kettle is bit old, towels also quite worn out.

Vibe Analysis
OYO Townhouse in Selayang works best as a cheap, practical town base rather than a social hostel. The location is the main upside: food, shops, restaurants, a bank, clinic, pharmacy, convenience stores, petrol station, and central Selayang access are all nearby. Parking can be easy in front of the hotel, though it may be paid and the rules may not be clear upfront. The building has a lift, but access may only run to the third floor, so higher-floor rooms can mean stairs. One family room setup had a king bed plus a single bed, with a decent view and quieter soundproofing. The weak spots are serious and consistent: cleanliness can be poor, bathrooms can be dirty or mouldy, sheets and towels may be stained or torn, and room maintenance can be rough. Broken windows, faulty locks, weak air conditioning, non-working TVs, dirty or broken fridges, kettle issues, missing towels, limited toiletries, and mosquitoes have all been problems. Reception and service can be unreliable, especially for early checkout, room cleaning, towel replacement, deposit return, and urgent help. This place may suit a low-budget stopover near Selayang services, but it is not a polished or dependable option.
