Luxury Townhouse Oasis: Former RHR Hotel, Selayang Transformed!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Luxury Townhouse Oasis: Former RHR Hotel, Selayang Transformed! And trust me, after spending some time there, I've got opinions. Strong opinions. Forget the corporate jargon – this is real talk.
First Impressions (and a bit of a rambling start, because that's how it goes, right?)
So, the title itself, "Luxury Townhouse Oasis," gives you a certain image, right? Like maybe fancy, slightly pretentious, and promising a level of zen I probably don’t deserve. This used to be the RHR Hotel, and that does bring up a tiny bit of baggage. I mean, any hotel that's "transformed" usually implies… well, something went wrong beforehand. But! (and it's a big but) the transformation here is actually pretty impressive. Let's get this out of the way, the Luxury Townhouse Oasis: Former RHR Hotel, Selayang Transformed! is in SELAYANG. Let’s just say it isn’t in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, so if you’re after a city view, you won't get one. (Though there's a nice view of… other things.)
Accessibility - A Mixed Bag
Okay, let's be real: a truly accessible hotel can be tough to find. This place attempts it, and for that, I give them points. They have facilities for disabled guests. And an elevator, which is HUGE. The exterior is designed for people's easy access. BUT, and it's a decently-sized but, I’d want to check specifics before booking if accessibility is your primary concern. It's not perfectly seamless everywhere.
Cleanliness and Safety - They Seem to Care… a lot (Maybe a little too much?)
Look, in the current climate, cleanliness is key. And they're SERIOUS about it. Like, obsessively serious. They have everything:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Yuppers.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services? You betcha.
They’re also big on things like Hand sanitizer everywhere. Not a bad thing. The rooms are routinely sanitized. The staff is trained in safety protocols. There are smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and CCTV cameras everywhere. It's like living in a high-end germaphobe's dream (or nightmare, depending on your perspective).
Dining and Drinking - A Plethora of Choices (But, Seriously, the Coffee!)
This is where things get interesting. "Oasis" is the key word here. You've got restaurants galore; Asian, International, Vegetarian, it's all there. A la carte, buffet style, you name it.
- Breakfast? Buffet, Asian, Western, it’s all on the menu. And you can get it in your ROOM!! (Yay, breakfast in bed!)
- There's a Coffee Shop. Let's be real, this is very important. The coffee wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't something I'd write home about. Needs improvement. But, they do have coffee/tea in the restaurant.
- There's a Poolside Bar. This is a winner. Sip something cold while basking in the Malaysian sun. Perfection.
- Happy Hour. Need I say more?
The Spa and Relaxation - My Personal Oasis
This is where the "Oasis" truly shines. As a person that needs to unwind, I loved the spa. I'm not kidding when I say the Spa is the ultimate. They have it all; they have a Body Scrub, Body Wrap, Sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Pool with view, and Massage. It's utter bliss. This is where I forgot about all my worries.
Things to Do - Beyond the Spa
So, you've spa'd. Now what?
- Fitness Center: I peeked. It looked… well-equipped. I, however, did not use it. (Spa time is more my speed.)
- Swimming Pool: It's an outdoor pool, and it's gorgeous, with a view. There is enough space to lounge and swim as well.
- There are Meeting/Banquet Facilities, Outdoor venue for special events, and Indoor venues for special events, so if this is for business, it's perfect.
Rooms, Glorious Rooms! (And the Small Annoyances)
Okay, the rooms themselves are pretty damn nice. They have Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, a Coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, a Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe, a Refrigerator, a Seating area, a Shower, Slippers, Soundproofing, a Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and a Window that opens.
Things I loved:
- The Blackout curtains absolutely crucial for a good night's sleep.
- The complimentary tea. Always a win.
- The bed. It was comfy. I slept like a log.
- The separate shower/bathtub. Luxurious.
Things I found less than perfect:
- The TV. (Not the biggest deal, but the channel selection could be better.)
- The Internet – Free Wi-Fi is a must, and it's available, but I had a few moments where the connection was a bit… flaky. (Not ideal when you're trying to work.)
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
This place has a TON of these: Air conditioning in public areas, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, and a Terrace.
- Concierge? Super helpful.
- Laundry and dry cleaning? Essential.
- Cash withdrawal? Useful.
Getting Around (aka, Dealing with Selayang)
Okay, here's the thing: Selayang isn't exactly a hub for public transport. You’ll need a car. They have Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxis service, and Valet parking. So, you have options.
For the Kids
They are Family/child friendly, with Babysitting service and Kids facilities.
The Overall Vibe (and My Verdict)
Overall, Luxury Townhouse Oasis: Former RHR Hotel, Selayang Transformed! is a strong contender. It's a comfortable, well-equipped hotel with a fantastic spa and a serious commitment to cleanliness and safety. It offers a good balance of relaxation and convenience. It’s not perfect – the location might not be ideal for everyone, and the internet could be a little more reliable. But, honestly, those are relatively minor quibbles. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you need to unwind and are looking for a bit of luxurious pampering.

Wuhan Optical Valley's BEST Hotel: Jinjiang Inn Review (Near Engineering U!)
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this itinerary for Townhouse OAK, formerly RHR Hotel in Selayang is gonna be less "polished travel brochure" and more "drunken diary entry." Think less "perfect Instagram feed" and more "my life right now… in a word, messy."
Townhouse OAK Selayang: A Rambling, Possibly Regretful, Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival, Existential Dread, and Questionable Decisions
14:00 (ish) - ARRIVAL: The flight was delayed, naturally. Ended up stuck next to a guy who smelled vaguely of mothballs and kept trying to show me pictures of his prize-winning pet… something. Honestly, anything to distract from the pre-holiday existential dread creeping in. Taxi driver, bless his heart, got lost. Fantastic start. Finally crawled into Townhouse OAK. The lobby? Fine. Kinda generic. Standard "hotel-y" vibe. I'm already missing my dog.
15:00 - The Room Debacle: Okay, the room. It's… a room. Cleanish. The aircon kicks in like a jet engine taking off. Seriously, it's probably going to freeze me solid. Tried to turn it down only to find the control panel is a series of hieroglyphs. Fantastic. Decided to embrace the cold, just in case it's the only pleasant thing that happens today.
16:00 - Reconnaissance Mission (aka Search For Coffee): Needed caffeine. Needed it bad. Found a tiny cafe across the road. Coffee was… well, it was coffee. The barista, a teenager named Aisha, was trying to convince me that durian is the best thing ever created. "You must try it, miss!" she chirped. "It stinks," I mumbled under my breath, but she was so enthusiastic, I nearly caved. No. Just no. Coffee, black, to go, please.
17:00 - Pool Side Catastrophes (Part 1): The hotel pool! Sounds idyllic, right? Wrong. The humidity hit me like a physical force as I stepped outside. Apparently, I forgot to apply sunscreen. Not ideal. And the pool? More like a lukewarm bath with a few lonely-looking chlorine granules. Managed to get slightly sunburnt without actually enjoying the pool. Epic fail.
18:00 - (Attempt at) Dinner (and a Moment of Regret): Okay, the hotel restaurant. I’m already regretting not packing more snacks. The menu is a symphony of dishes I can't quite identify. Ordered something called "Nasi Goreng Special." It arrived looking… interesting. Spicy. Very, very spicy. Tears streamed down my face. Maybe I should have just stayed in the room and eaten the emergency bag of crisps I brought. My taste buds are probably regretting this decision.
20:00 - Attempts at Entertainment: Sat in the room, flicking through the TV channels. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Ended up watching a documentary about the mating rituals of penguins. Riveting. Now I'm starting to feel like I need to call my therapist.
22:00 - Sleep… or the Lack Thereof: The promised sleep evaded me. The aircon is still roaring. The street noise outside is a never-ending cacophony of honking and shouting. Realized I forgot to pack earplugs. Maybe I could fashion some out of the toilet paper? Probably not.
Day 2: Hopes, Further Failures, and the Search for Redemption
07:00 - Wake Up (Against My Will): The air con is still on full blast. My back hurts from sleeping on the tiny hotel pillows. Why did I come here? Seriously, what was I THINKING.
08:00 - The Breakfast Battle: Breakfast is included. Always a trap. Forced down some limp toast and a suspicious-looking sausage. Kept eyeing the durian Aisha's mentioning at the cafe. No, still no. I fear I will never enjoy a proper Malaysian breakfast.
09:00 - Exploring Selayang (or, Avoiding Everything): Decided to "explore" Selayang. Walked for about ten minutes before realizing the sun was trying to melt me. Turned back. Too hot. Way too much concrete. Found an air-conditioned mall to hide in. Successfully avoided all human interaction.
12:00 - Pool Side Catastrophes (Part 2): Decided to go back to the pool. I'm a glutton for punishment, apparently. This time I remembered sunscreen, but I forgot a towel. I sat soaking wet on a plastic chair, feeling deeply sorry for myself. Watching kids splashing around, made me feel even worse.
14:00 - A Glimmer of Hope (Maybe): Found a little shop selling delicious iced tea. Maybe, just maybe, this trip isn't a complete disaster.
16:00 - Attempts at Adventure? Heard there was a Batu Caves nearby. Considered taking a trip. Decided the crowds would be too much. Reminded myself that I have zero personal stamina. Ordered room service.
19:00 - Final Thoughts Before Bedtime: I have the distinct feeling that I'm going to go home and need a vacation from my vacation. Still, it's only two more days. I can survive this. Right? I just hope I've learned something. Maybe the meaning of life or how to live with the hot weather. Or at least, I hope the aircon doesn't break before I leave.
22:00 - Sleep? (again): The aircon continues its relentless assault. At least the sleep has slightly, barely improved.
Day 3 & 4 - The Hopes for Rescue!
3rd day - The usual. Wake up. Terrible breakfast. Visit the mall. Pool. Try to order better food. Repeat.
4th day - Breakfast, packing, checking out. Flight delay. Home time! Finally.
Overall Assessment:
Townhouse OAK, Selayang… it's a hotel. It exists. The "experience" was… memorable. Mostly in the sense that I hope to forget most of it over time. Would I recommend it? Maybe. If you're looking for a cheap place to stay, and don't mind mild discomfort and questionable food, and a touch of existential dread, then sure. But pack your own snacks, earplugs, and a therapist's number.

Luxury Townhouse Oasis: Former RHR Hotel, Selayang Transformed! - FAQ (But Make it Real)
Alright, Spill the Tea: Is This Place *Actually* Luxurious? Like, Really Luxurious?
Okay, fine. Let's be honest. "Luxury" these days feels so... overused. I mean, they slap that word on everything from instant noodles to... well, this place, the former RHR Hotel in Selayang. And honestly, when I first heard it, I was thinking, "Selayang? Luxury? My brain hurts." But then... I went.
And yeah, it *is* pretty swanky. Think gleaming floors, those giant windows that let in ALL the light (and the occasional Selayang dust, let's be real, you know it's there. I saw it. Tiny specks of reality), and a kitchen you could actually, you know, *picture* yourself cooking in, not just reheating instant noodles. The bathrooms? Properly luxurious, with those rain showers that make you feel like you're a celebrity.
But… "luxury" is in the eye of the beholder, right? For some, it's the marble countertops. For me? It’s the peace and quiet (mostly... more on that later). So, yeah, objectively? Luxurious. Subjectively? Depends on your definition, but it leans that way. Just, don't expect a personal butler to fetch your slippers...though, wouldn’t that be *amazing*?!
The Price Tag, Though... Is It Worth It? My Wallet is Already Crying.
Oof. Yeah, the price. Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart, or, you know, anyone with a crippling ramen habit (guilty). Is it *worth* it? That's the trillion-dollar question, isn't it?
Here’s the deal. You get what you pay for. You're paying for the space, the finishes, the security (which, by the way, is top-notch – felt safe as houses, even wandering around at 3 AM with a sudden craving for… something). You're paying for the lifestyle, the escape from the usual Selayang chaos (which, let's be honest, is *intense* sometimes). You're paying for the… dare I say it… *aspirational* aspect.
If you're on a budget? Absolutely not. Run away. If you want to impress someone? Maybe. If you've been saving up for a while? Potentially. It depends on your priorities. And if you win the lottery? Absolutely. Move in immediately. And invite me, yeah?
So, Tell Me About the Townhouses Themselves. What's the Layout Like? Is it Actually Liveable?
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks: the townhouses. They’re surprisingly spacious. Like, "could-fit-a-small-dance-party-in-the-living-room" spacious. You get a good three or four bedrooms, usually all ensuite (which means no fighting over the shower! Glorious!).
The layout? Well, it's modern, airy, and designed to maximize space. The kitchens are open-plan, leading into the dining area and living room. Perfect for entertaining, or, you know, just sprawled out on the couch watching Netflix with a mountain of snacks (bliss!).
One minor (and I mean *minor*) gripe: the stairs. They're beautiful, yes, but I swear, those things got steeper the further I went. I was questioning my fitness levels every time I climbed those steps. At the end of the day, it's liveable, it's comfortable, and honestly, it felt a little bit like living in a fancy hotel... which, given its history, makes a certain kind of sense, doesn't it?
What's the Vibe Like Around the Complex? Is It as Peaceful as the Brochure Claims?
The vibe... okay, here’s the truth. The brochure? Lies. (Just kidding! Kind of.) It *is* generally peaceful. Think "gentle breezes and the occasional birdsong" kind of peaceful. But… (and there’s always a but, isn't there?). Remember: Selayang. It's not exactly remote. You're still going to hear the distant rumble of traffic, the occasional car alarm, and, on one particularly eventful evening, *someone's karaoke*. (I’m not making this up. I swear I heard Celine Dion.)
But, *mostly*, it's calm. Plenty of green spaces for a leisurely stroll, a pool that looks inviting (though I didn't actually swim… I was too busy contemplating the meaning of life, or maybe just the meaning of a good cup of coffee, I forget). The other residents seemed friendly enough. It felt like a community, but a sophisticated one, if that makes sense.
So, yes, peaceful. Mostly. Just don't expect complete silence. You’re in Malaysia, after all. Embrace the wonderful noise of life! (And maybe invest in some earplugs for Celine Dion nights.)
What About Amenities? Is There a Gym? A Pool? What Else Do You Get for the Price?
Ah, the amenities. The good stuff. You get the usual suspects: a decent-sized swimming pool, a well-equipped gym (I peeked in – looked impressive, though I’m more of a “walk to the fridge and back” kind of exerciser), and some lovely landscaped gardens. There's a playground for the kids (if you have them), which is a nice touch. They've even thrown in a clubhouse, but I didn't get a chance to check that out.
Honestly, the pool alone is worth the price of admission (almost!). Imagine this: you, a cool drink, and the shimmering water… pure bliss! (Okay, I'll stop gushing).
The amenities add a lot of value to the lifestyle. It makes you feel like you're on vacation, even when you're just… you know… living. It's a nice escape. It's pretty good, actually.
Okay, Let's Talk About the Small Stuff: Any Annoyances? Any Hidden Flaws? The Reality Check, Please!
Alright, the *real* tea. Because, let’s be honest, perfection is boring.
First, traffic. Selayang traffic is a legend. Getting in and out during peak hours is… an adventure. Factor that into your daily commute (or better yet, become a permanent resident and avoid commuting altogether!).
Second: the kitchen layout. For all its sleekness, the placement of the power outlets in the kitchen are a bit, well, *inconvenient*. I spent ages trying to figure out how to plug in the blender without tripping over the cord. Minor, I know, but it became aSearch Hotel Guide
