| Booking your room with OYO anyone? |
Travel bugs, if you're
a travel junkie who loves to travel on a low budget, well, you better keep yourself updated with this latest app that I found out of.
OYO is India's largest branded network of hotels, promising comfortable, affordable, and delightful stays with features such as an
air conditioned room, complimentary Wi-Fi, and 24x7 customer service support. And Now,
OYO is now available for room bookings in Malaysia.

| Meet Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of OYO |
OYO was founded by Ritesh Agarwal who has been
featured in the Forbes 30 under 30 list in the global, Indian and Asian edition under the Consumer Tech category and it amazes me that he's still under 30! The
idea behind OYO is that the lack of quality in their accommodation targetted to smaller players in the hospitality industry. If you're a seasoned traveler, you would understand how you won't mind paying less as long as you have a bed and a place to shower. After Ritesh stayed in more than 150 bed and breakfast, guest houses and hotels,
he found that there was no minimum standard of quality and service at budget accommodations, and that's when he decided to take action.

| The Before and After Transformation |
So with OYO, travelers could be at ease knowing that
OYO will be doing all the screen checks for you to ensure that low budget stays are comfortable. OYO has made this possible by offering standardized, affordable hotel-rooms through a
hassle-free search and book process. And I believe as a traveler, it's a relief that OYO room comes with an
assurance of cleanliness and hygiene, free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast and 24x7 customer support.
STANDARD ROOM AT OYO HOTELS

| Hey look, there's a TV |
 |
| And of course who wouldn't love tea and coffee being available in your room? |
Since I was invited as a blogger to their official launch,
I was given the opportunity to checkout one of their premium OYO hotel rooms at StarPoints Hotel located in Kuala Lumpur. And from the pictures above, I think we can both agree that
its as good as a 4-star hotel standard but priced at lower than how you would pay for a 4-star hotel. Since this is one of their premium hotels, you will definitely get the 4-star treatment at a fraction of the price you pay at other hotels.
SUPERIOR ROOM AT OYO HOTELS

And this happens to be the
superior room at StarPoints Hotel. If you still haven't notice,
the red tiny bags on the beds are actually specially made for OYO customers! So lets keep it simple, if you did not book the hotel through OYO, you won't get the red toiletry bag waiting on your bed. I love how the interior is well done, and the fact that the spaces were nicely furnished thanks to OYO. I cant imagine how this would look if OYO didn't take action into spicing the room up for guest.

I personally think when it comes to low budget hotels,
what concerns me the most would be the hygiene of the bathroom. Its
a relief to know that OYO has taken budget hotels in control to be a certain standard it making sure its clean and comfy for guest to enjoy their travels at a low cost. THANK YOU OYO! I gave a sniff on their shampoo's and shower gel, and OMG, its definitely not your ordinary hotel shampoo.
And from what I've said, the reason why you should pick OYO is because
it standardized budget hotels for you, making it convenient for you to not hesitate on the cleanliness and comfort of your stays. It started in hotels in India, and now they have brought the same focus and expertise to Malaysia! They
offer clean and spacious rooms with hygienic washrooms, free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast and 24x7 customer support.
HOW TO BOOK?
 |
| With 3 easy clicks, you're good to go! |
Surprisingly, the booking process on their moile app is really easy. You can search and book a room in
3 clicks which would take you less than 10 seconds. The biggest advantage of all is being able to
offer a standard set of service and amenities throughout their network of properties in Malaysia and India. I mean come on, who would even complain about standardizing services and amenities when you're already paying for a
budget price? I SAY YES!
