Complaint - Breach Of Contract

Fao Iqbal, Duty manager

Further to my visit as a guest last night

You have my complaint

Why was i given a room where i could not have a normal shower when your staff new of the problem at Room 443

Faisal did not mention anything even though staff were all aware of the problem with room 443

I got into the shower and because of the blocked drain i could not really shower properly. The shower room began to flood as tje waste pipe was not draining the water. This is absolutely unacceptable to myself. Why did Faisal do this knowing the drainage is blocked

When he offered me room 443 i had no clue what was going to happen

The drunk man was do loud Faisal said he would deal with him but did not resolve the situation of the disturbance and was only on duty until midnight then his colleague tried about four or five times snd also could do nothing, not even call the Police instead spoiled guests stay overnight, why ?

You colleague Iqbal went also to deal with the loud drunkcard who spoilt my night as i could not sleep for my important business meeting this morning not been able to properly shower either

Even if i had the room for free i would easily reject it. It has been my worst experience in any hotel in any country i have stayed in

As i come back you can see how angry i was and am with what happened

Faisal should have told me about the shower giving me the choice to reject the room and stay somewhere else

In conclusion there are standards for a reason and although you apologised to me. I should be refunded my £60 i paid in full apart from the apology

I used to stay at your hotel many many years ago with excellent service and cannot understand why a guest should be treated in such a way and why even police were not called ?? to let me sleep

As a result i had no sleep after many hours of loud noise from the drunken and no shower

Due to the bad unacceptable experience your hotel needs to refund & resolve it to value your guests and do the right thing...

Why give me room 443 if your staff already know the shower is not usable
making things even worse for a guest ?

Mr M Saleem

Iqbal has all my information to give me a refund he told me when i went back yesterday on June 17th 26. I am looking at the staff taking accountability and responsibility ?

I have my payment receipt too

Also trustpilot where do i find my reference number for me to respond to you so you can investigate
The hotel also could not provide me with a booking ID. I spoke to the receptionist and i was told that as i paid the money at the hotel i have a debit card receipt but nothing else.

Also the shower not draining properly is a health and safety issue which they are not concerned about either

This is a incredibly fraudulent company. I canceled my reservation months ago and still no refund. When you call they just talk in circles, emails do not get answered. I have no idea how these scam artists continue to be in business. Shame on you Oyo! You a company filled with scoundrels!

I booked a hotel i use a lot which unfortunately has just been taken over by OYO. I was advised I had to book online and could no longer book direct like before. I picked my room, chose the £125 price and at the end it said 'Paid £140'. The email came through confirming the booking but all information is blank!? Arrived at the hotel today and asked what the extra £15 charge is for.... guess what, they dont know! Ive also been told trying to get support from OYO will be almost impossible and they are experiencing a number of issues with them. So as a customer, I've been charged £15 extra for nothing!? No one can explain this, so now ive got the hassle of trying to reach them via email or go via my bank. Listening to other issues at the hotel, I will not use them nor OYO again, something just doesnt sit right and seems very dodgy!

Was a good stay and hospitality

Good location of hotels in the Centre of city with easy access of transport and local shops/outlets. Spacious and spotless rooms with comfortable bedding and accommodating staff and smooth check in process. Efficient service overall.

Recently made a booking with OYO at Hyderabad. Booking process was smooth. Value for money. Good staff. Next time booking for sure.

Left a review regarding an hotel we stayed in belonging to you after stopping the first night I caught bedbugs from your dirty place. The rooms are very dated and poor management. You asked me to email you so you could look into this further. That
was over seven days ago. I have yet sent you another email and still nothing reading some more reviews you do the same to everybody. You take their money and don’t care how you treat for customers. This is a poor company and poor customer service services. You should be ashamed.

Sent you the information you asked for and the ticket number of my complaint

After days and still no contact from your avoid this firm people they don’t care how you a trated

You asked for info I’ve gave it you so why lie

Lies lies lies I’ve spoken on the phone with you and you asked me send email to ukoyo email which I did so stop robbing and lieing you horrible peopel

Extremely stressful last minute cancellation, but OYO responded promptly.

They cancelled my booking ONE DAY before my stay. And then took a huge cancellation fee even though THEY were the ones who initiated the cancellation.

Edit: I investigated further. What had happened was that they had ceased a relationship with a hotel and only cancelled the day before our stay. We have had to secure accommodation ourselves.

Update: only a few days later, apparently the full refund was authorised. I will update etc.

I will consider this matter resolved if our payment is FULLY refunded. This means that the cancellation fee must be waived and refunded to us in addition to the partial refund which OYO apparently authorised.

OYO SERIOUSLY needs to improve their internal management processes at a bare minimum. I appear to be better informed about their client relationships than they themselves.

Some properties are good.

Some properties are laking even basic facilities of water in washrooms

This was the single worst experience I've had booking a hotel. We had booked a non-smoking room for three nights, but when we arrived at 11:00 p.m, the only rooms available smelled like an ashtray. The outside of the room was littered with dead bugs, and I can't imagine the inside was much better. Unfortunately, we didn't get to explore with much of the inside because due to our asthma, we couldn't step foot in the room for more than a second.
Since we had booked through OYO, the hotel was unable to assist in any sort of refund, even though they sold the remaining rooms while we were waiting outside the office. We spent about 2 and 1/2 hours in the parking lot trying to contact any sort of support at OYO, but channels of communication that we were provided in are booking receipt did not seem to be connected. We attempted to make an account on OYO's app to see if there was any sort of action we could take ourselves to cancel the remaining nights with 24 hours notice, but the verification codes in order to set up the account were never sent, despite trying several methods. If it hadn't made our reservation in the first place, we would have thought that OYO was no longer in business.
If you still book with OYO, be aware that any ability to cancel/modify your stay will be null due to the fact that they do not seem to have a valid way to be reached. It's been 2 months, and I still have yet to hear back.

I am editing this review for the last time.

I have an upcoming trip to Manchester for medical reasons and I booked a hotel reservation via Oyorooms since it was presented by google as being the official website for the hotel. I made one booking and then a few days later I found a better price so I booked again thinking I would cancel the first reservation.

Unbeknownst to me - you cannot manage, cancel or even view your reservation once you book with Oyorooms. The website is not functional at all. Every single action redirects you to the homepage or asks you to log in. So I tried to create an account - it took all my information and then redirected me to the homepage again without creating an account or letting me view or manage my reservation.

I then tried to download the app where I finally managed to see my reservation but it showed the wrong dates and wrong price (different than my original booking email confirmation).

I wrote an email to the company, I opened a ticket, I did anything I could to get in touch with someone and it was not possible.

As a last resort I wrote this Trustpilot review and that's the only thing that got me some kind of interaction with Oyorooms. I asked the company to cancel my first reservation and confirm the dates for my second reservation since the app was showing something different than what I had booked.

After a week of back and forth - I received two emails saying both my reservations were cancelled which is not what I originally wanted but at least I am free from this experience.

I really discourage anyone from booking anything via Oyorooms. It's unthinkable in 2026 to have this kind of dysfunctional system for a multi-million dollars company operating several hotel chains and establishments. This does not happen with real companies like Expedia, Priceline, Booking, Travelocity, Booking.com, Trivago, or really any major hospitality company with a basic functioning website.

The Manchester Portland by Sundays hotel just lost a customer because Oyorooms does not have a functional website, app or customer service. It's really unfortunate. 5 days before my trip (which is already stressful because it is for a medical reason) - I am having to find a different accomodation.

Never again. To the Oyorooms employees who read my messages - I apologize if I got impatient or frustrated at times. This has unnecessarily stressful.

Oyo hotel time square new york ,great location, But its the worst hotel I've ever stayed in ,lifts to higher floors take to long because there are only 2 wait for ages,rooms are the worst I've stayed in ever,states that they have a gym and tea making facilities, the gym is a mile away off site and they don't have any facilities for tea or coffee making so a bit of false information, felt like Harry potter his room under the stairs was larger than our room ,bit dip in the floor by bathroom door nearly fell over a dozen times ,we never had any hot water for a whole day ,metal bed frame had exposed sharp corners both my wife and I have bruised shins kept walking into them as the rooms are so small,so to summerise the hotel ,fantastic location, worst hotel I've stayed at so I would urge you to try another hotel,

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after receiving no response to a formal complaint for over a week, I feel compelled to share my experience.

My partner and I stayed The Box-hill Burford Bridge Sunday Hotel on 25th–26th May and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing hotel stays we have experienced.

The weather during our stay was approximately 32°C, yet there was no functioning air conditioning in our room. The room became unbearably hot, making it extremely uncomfortable and difficult to sleep. For a hotel advertised as 4-star accommodation, this was simply unacceptable especially because other guests we spoke to had air conditioning!!!!

The issues extended beyond the room itself. During dinner we were initially seated next to a window area where there were numerous dead flies collected behind us. We brought this to the attention of staff and requested that the area be cleaned as it was unpleasant to sit next to while eating. Nothing was done.

To add to the discomfort, a radiator in the dining area was switched on despite the exceptionally hot weather. The dining room was already uncomfortably warm, and this only made conditions worse. What made the situation even more concerning was that after we moved tables because of it, other guests and elderly guests continued to be seated in exactly the same area despite staff being made aware of the issue.

Dinner service was also disappointing. One waitress appeared to be responsible for a large number of guests, and while being visibly overworked may have contributed to the situation, the level of service fell below expectations. There appeared to be a lack of training and communication, as she was unable to clearly explain what was included within our package, did not ask about allergies or dietary requirements, and never returned to check whether our meals were satisfactory. Service throughout the evening was extremely slow and disorganised, which only added to the overall negative experience.

This was particularly frustrating because, due to what appeared to be a website booking error, our reservation showed meal packages for only one guest despite the booking being for two people. As a result, we were required to pay an additional £30 for breakfast and dinner for my partner. Given the confusion surrounding the booking and the additional cost we incurred, we would have expected a much higher standard of service and customer care than we received.

We raised our concerns during our stay with the duty manager, Mani, who advised us to submit our complaint by email after leaving. We followed that advice and sent a detailed complaint, yet more than a week later we have received no response, acknowledgement, or update. I have also left a detailed Google review regarding our experience.

The most frustrating aspect is not only the issues we encountered, but the complete lack of communication afterwards. When guests take the time to raise legitimate concerns, they deserve at least the courtesy of a response.

The location and pool are lovely, but unfortunately they do not make up for the lack of air conditioning, cleanliness concerns, uncomfortable dining conditions, disappointing food, and the failure to respond to a formal complaint.

I would appreciate a response to the complaint that has already been submitted via 2 email addresses . At this point, the silence from management is becoming as disappointing as the stay itself.

29th June-
Thank you for your response, however I do not accept that this adequately addresses my complaint.

While I appreciate that I was moved to a Privilege Room, this did not resolve the fact that the air conditioning was not working during a 32°C heatwave. Two fans are not an equivalent substitute for functioning air conditioning, which was a key reason I booked the room in the first place.

Your response also states that the room was cleaned and inspected prior to arrival. Unfortunately, this does not reflect the condition we found it in. The stained bedding, hairs, dust and general cleanliness issues were genuine concerns, and I provided photographic evidence to support these.

Waiving the parking charge was appreciated, but it was not a resolution to the problems we experienced. It was a small gesture in comparison to the significant shortcomings of our stay.

After waiting over a month for a response, I am disappointed to receive what appears to be a generic summary of the hotel’s position rather than a meaningful investigation into the issues I raised. I do not feel that my complaint has been fairly considered.

Please can you advise whether this is your final response, as I will consider escalating the matter further if necessary.

I booked a room via Oyo then cancelled shortly after.

The origin of the booking was via booking.com which stated full refund up to day of booking.

I cancelled more than 24 hrs before check in.

After several calls to Oyo and being put on hold and transferred and called back you will not commit to giving me a full refund.

19/06 Oyo finally confirmed full refund.

What a terrible company.. I need to cancel my room at the Portland By Sunday in Manchester, the website takes you on a continuous loop, the phone numbers are non existent, and you get a bounce back from the email.. The hotel will not let me cancel direct, has to be done through OYO, which you cannot do.. So their cancellation process is none existent. Fortunately I booked with a pay on arrival. BUT BEWARE if you pay upfront and need to cancel as you will be out of luck trying to get your money back..
