Unbelievable! This Malaysian Motel Blew My Mind! (OYO 89850 Mutiara Motel)
Unbelievable! (And Honestly, a Little Messy) My Experience at OYO 89850 Mutiara Motel – Malaysia Edition!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to unleash the truth about OYO 89850 Mutiara Motel. Forget perfectly polished hotel reviews – this is the raw, unfiltered, and slightly-disorganized account of my stay. I came, I saw, I… well, let’s just say I had an experience. And it wasn't all sunshine and satay, folks.
First Impressions: The Location, the… Charm… and the Accessibility (Sort Of)
Getting there was an adventure in itself. (Airport transfer available, blessedly!) The motel's located somewhere in the vaguely accessible part of Malaysia. We’re talking about a car park [free of charge], which is always a plus! Finding the dang entrance, however, took a slightly chaotic meander.
Accessibility? Not exactly a shining beacon of inclusivity. I didn’t spot ramps everywhere, and while there are facilities for disabled guests, I'm not entirely sure what that entails. Let's call it… "developing."
Inside the Mutiara Motel: Rooms, Amenities, and the Great Wi-Fi Debacle!
My room was… well, it was a room. Let’s be honest. It had air conditioning, thankfully, because Malaysian humidity is a beast. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – HUGE selling point, right? WRONG. The Internet access – wireless was, at best, spotty. I'm talking dial-up in a world of fiber optics. Expect your Internet to be less "instant connectivity" and more "patiently waiting for that cat video to buffer." And forget about Internet access – LAN. Unless you're still rocking a 1990s desktop, you're out of luck.
The rooms themselves? Cleanish. Daily housekeeping, thank goodness! It's a lifesaver for a messy human like me. They even had complimentary tea and one bottle of free bottled water. Small victories, I tell you. It comes with the extra long bed (or at least it felt like it) that were a definite plus. Not to mention the ever-so-handy alarm clock.
The Sensory Experience: What You Can See, Hear, and Smell
The blackout curtains earned a gold star for blocking out the tropical sunrise (and the occasional rooster alarm). The soundproofing was… serviceable. I’d rank things 5/10, and even with non-smoking rooms, still smelled that familiar stale cigarette.
Bathroom Bliss (or Blandness)?
The private bathroom was… adequate. You had a shower, though the water pressure wasn't exactly Niagara Falls, and the toiletries were the generic kind. The towels were… well, they were towels. Not fluffy, not luxurious, but they did the job. I didn't see an bathroom phone, but I was actually glad for it! Maybe a minor consideration to have slippers available.
Let's Talk Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Mystery Meat)
The dining options were… varied. There’s a restaurant. The Asian breakfast and Asian cuisine in restaurant options were surprisingly good. They had a coffee shop and coffee/tea in restaurant, which fueled my caffeine addiction. And the bottle of water was a lifesaver. In addition to all this, they provided breakfast [buffet], and since I am the type of person that enjoys salad in restaurant I was a happy camper. However, I must say, I didn’t see any vegetarian restaurant, I guess I would have to stick to salads.
Beyond the restaurant, there are room service [24-hour], breakfast takeaway service, a snack bar for those midnight cravings. One night I ordered some food I didn't know what it was. "Is this chicken?" I wondered. Either way, I'd give it a solid 7/10.
Relaxation and Recreation: Spa, Swimming, and… Well, Not Much Else!
Now here’s where things get a tad… limited. There isn't a pool with a view, the Swimming pool [outdoor] was your basic rectangle. It was clean, and it wasn't crowded. In terms of spa, there wasn't a real one. Forget the Sauna, or the steamroom. I didn't see a gym/fitness, or a fitness center, nor was there a massage, body scrub, or body wrap. So yeah, don't expect a luxury spa experience.
Safety and Security: Did I Feel Safe?
Yes and no. There’s CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, and security [24-hour]. You can't go wrong with smoke alarms, fire extinguisher, and a safe/security feature. They even had a First aid kit. However, safety protocols regarding COVID-19 are in place. They are supposed to keep Physical distancing of at least 1 meter for all people. They even offer room sanitization opt-out available.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (or Don't)
The front desk [24-hour] was helpful, even if their English was a bit… charmingly broken. It does offer cash withdrawal, concierge, dry cleaning, laundry service, and a luggage storage.

My Mutiara Motel Malaysia Mishap: A Stream-of-Consciousness Itinerary (and Mild Mental Breakdown)
Day 1: The Arrival (and the Immediate Regret)
1:00 PM: Arrive at the motel. Okay, "arrive" is generous. More like, "limp in after a taxi driver who clearly hates his job dropped me off in front of a building that looks like it's seen better decades." The exterior paint job is… let's call it "optimistic." I'm pretty sure I saw a rogue cockroach scuttle under a bush. Already regretting everything. Honestly, considering the cockroach, I might have to rename this trip "The Great Escape" and try to become a wildlife expert.
1:15 PM: Check-in. The receptionist, bless her soul, seems to have the weight of the world on her shoulders. She's navigating a broken computer system and my incredibly simple booking. I swear I saw her wince when she handed me the key. It's one of those keys on a giant, clunky metal fob. Heavy is the head that holds the key to a Mutiara Motel room.
1:30 PM: Room reveal. Oh. My. God. It's… a room. With a bed. And a TV that's probably older than I am. The air conditioning sounds like a dying walrus, but hey, it's working. The bathroom? Well, let's just say I've seen cleaner public restrooms. Emphasis on the "public". There's a suspicious stain on the ceiling that I'm choosing to ignore. Denial: it's a survival strategy.
1:45 PM - 3:00 PM: The Great Bed Inspection! Every Hotel room you always have to do a full inspection, right? The bed is the focal point of the room. Does it bounce? Does it make you feel as though you were floating on clouds? This specific bed, however, does not bounce. It doesn't feel as though I were floating through the heavens either, more like I was going though quicksand.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: I'm trying to make the best of it. I'm putting the suitcase on the bed, then I take it off and inspect the bed again, then I sit on it for a while. Am I going insane? I'm starting to question my life choices. Why am I here? Is this the start of a bizarre horror film where I'm trapped in a motel with a haunted bed? Should I order room service? There's no room service. Oh god.
4:00 PM: I decide I need to find something to eat to snap out of my state of mild existential terror. Head out to find the nearest something to eat, anything.
4:30 PM: Find a warung (small local restaurant) down the road. Food is excellent, cheap, and a welcome respite from the motel. Order the beef rendang. It's a taste of heaven. I nearly wept with happiness. Honestly, the rendang just saved me.
6:00 PM: Wander back to the motel. The cockroaches have multiplied. I'm not sure how, but I see more of them. Try to ignore them. Try…again.
7:00 PM: Attempt to watch TV. The channels are limited, the reception is terrible, and the only thing remotely interesting is a cooking show in Malay. My grasp of the language is minimal.
8:00 PM: Giving up on the TV. Decide to explore the "motel grounds." It's basically a parking lot. With more cockroaches.
8:30 PM: Attempt to sleep. The air conditioning is still roaring like a dying walrus. The bed is still questionable. I lie there.
9:00 PM: I'm pretty sure something just crawled on my leg…I'm moving to the bed.
10:00 PM: I'm up for the night. I've moved to the bathroom. It's a small room, but it's mine.
Day 2: The Endurance Test (and the Realization that Survival is the Goal)
8:00 AM: Wake up. The walrus has survived the night! It's a minor victory, but a victory nonetheless. I actually slept a little. (Maybe the rendang saved me again?)
8:30 AM: Attempt shower. Water pressure is abysmal, and the water temperature fluctuates between freezing and scalding. It's a lottery for my skin.
9:00 AM: Breakfast. Motel has a tiny "breakfast area," a single table with instant coffee and maybe some toast. I opt for skipping the breakfast.
9:30 AM: Check-out. I'm free!
10:00 AM: The taxi driver finally arrives! I hope his job has improved, because I don't think I'll be able to handle another ride with him. The taxi driver is fine, and also very happy to take me away.
10:00 AM: I have survived, and will have a real bed and a new view. I'm never going back.
Quirky Observations & Rambles:
- The "do not disturb" sign is slightly faded. I wonder how many people actually use it.
- The view from my window is currently a brick wall and a rusty pipe. Romantic.
- Is it possible to develop Stockholm Syndrome with a motel room? I think I'm getting strangely attached.
- I'm starting to think I should have gone for the deluxe cockroach treatment.
- I definitely need a stiff drink (or seven) to process this experience.
Emotional Reactions:
- Initially: Disbelief, horror, and a deep sense of regret.
- Midway: A weird, dark humor begins to creep in. I start to embrace the chaos.
- End: A sense of triumph. I survived! I conquered the Mutiara Motel Malaysia! I am a warrior!
Final Thoughts:
The OYO 89850 Mutiara Motel Malaysia is an experience. Not a good experience, necessarily. But an experience. It's a reminder that sometimes, the journey (and the stay) is more important (and more hilarious) than the destination. Would I recommend it? Absolutely not, unless you enjoy a good laugh and have a high tolerance for the…unconventional. Would I go back? Probably not. Unless, of course, I develop a sudden and inexplicable fondness for cockroaches and questionable plumbing. Then, maybe.
Belinda Hotel Turkey: Your Dream Turkish Escape Awaits!
So, *unbelievable* how, exactly? What's the big deal with this Mutiara Motel?
Okay, look, I'm not going to lie. It started innocently enough. Just needed a place to crash, you know? Somewhere cheap, clean-ish... maybe with a working TV. But Mutiara Motel... *Mutiara*... it's an EXPERIENCE. It’s like stepping into a time machine, but instead of, say, the Jurassic period, you land squarely in the late 90s. Everything is... well, let's just say it's *memorable*. Think faded floral wallpaper, the *distinct* scent of, uh, "cleaning product," and a showerhead that's seen better decades. But, honestly? That's part of the charm. Or, at least, it became part of the charm. It's the sheer audacity of it all! And the price... my WORD, the price! I felt like I was practically robbing them.
Right, alright... what about the *room*? What was it *actually* like?
The room... ah, the room. Let me paint you a picture. Imagine a space that has probably housed more guests than it has square feet. My first impression? "Well, it's... a room." Seriously, though. It wasn't *dirty*, per se. More like... well-loved. The bed... look, the bed was a *thing*. Springs you could feel, a mattress that probably predated the invention of the internet, and a blanket that looked like it had starred in a thousand Netflix binges. But you know what? I slept like a baby. Exhaustion, I guess. And the air conditioning? Loud. Like, REALLY loud. Made a sound like a dying walrus. But at least it worked! Kind of. Mostly.
Okay, let’s get into the specifics of the... equipment. What about the TV? The bathroom?
The TV. Oh, the TV. A glorious behemoth! A CRT, naturally. Static was its main feature. Channels? Well, you had a choice of, like, four blurry options. One of them was definitely showing a soap opera, constantly. Bathroom... okay, let's just say a tactical approach is necessary. The water pressure was... unpredictable. Sometimes you'd get a trickle, sometimes you'd get a full-on firehose attack. There was a faint scent of... something. Maybe bleach? Maybe something else entirely. The showerheads…let's just say they were designed for someone a few feet shorter than myself. But the water was hot. And that, my friends, is sometimes all that matters. And the *towel*… Oh, the towel. Stiff. Very, very stiff. Like a plank of wood. I still haven't figured out how it's possible to make a towel *that* rigid.
The important question: Did it *feel* safe?
Okay, this is vital. Did I *feel* safe? Honestly? It was a mixed bag. The lock on the door was... well, it was a lock. Not a super-sophisticated, high-tech lock, but a lock nonetheless. There was something about the general... lived-in-ness of the place, the slightly-too-familiar presence of the front desk folks (who, bless their hearts, were always friendly)... It wasn't a luxury hotel with a security team, but I never felt *unsafe*. Just a bit… like I was in a movie that was definitely low budget.
What about the location? Was it convenient? Close to anything interesting?
Location? Okay, this is where things get interesting. It was… strategically located. By that, I mean… it was near *stuff*. Stuff that was, shall we say, authentically local. Street food vendors, small shops, and the general hum of city life. It wasn't *in* the heart of the tourist hubbub, which I actually kind of liked. You got a feel for the *real* Malaysia. And walking around at night… yeah, that was an experience. Full of delicious scents, loud motorbikes, and a ton of character. Just, ya know, don't expect to stumble across a Starbucks. That’s the kind of *luxury* that’s probably far, far away.
Okay, so you checked in, you saw the room. What was the *most* memorable moment? Spill the tea!
Alright, buckle up. This is the *real* story. There I was, exhausted. Checked in, dumped my bags, and decided I’d take a shower and veg out in front of the glorious, static-filled TV screen. I turned on the shower... and nothing. No water. "Ah, well," I thought. "Probably just a blip." Waited a few minutes. Nada. So, I did the thing. You know… the thing where you call the front desk. Except, the phone in the room was… dead. Yep. Dead as a doornail. Fine. I put on my clothes (which I didn't *love* having to do) and trudged my way down to the front desk. And the woman working was. . .let’s just say she was a woman of few words, but the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen. I explained the water situation, and she gave me a look of *patient* understanding. Like, "Oh, this again." Without saying a word, she handed me… a *bucket*. And a *smaller bucket*. And pointed toward the hall. "Bathroom," she said. "Water." So there I was, hauling buckets of water from a central source to my room. *My room!* It's like something out of a comedy sketch. It was an old-school situation. I made it work, but I was left with the biggest, most lingering question- HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS, AND WHEN WAS IT GOING TO BE FIXED?! I was already attached to the motel! And the next day, when I saw her, she just smiled and nodded. No apologies, no explanations, just this knowing look. I’ll never forget it. It was probably the most authentic, hilariously unexpected experience of my entire trip. It was *defining*.
Would you go back? Seriously, would you recommend it?
Would I go back? In a heartbeat! *Absolutely*. Especially if I could get that same room. It’s not a place to stay if you're expecting five-star luxury. But if you're looking for an *experience*, a slice of real life, a chance to laugh at the absurdity of it all, and a killer cheap price? Book it. Just… pack your own towel. And maybe a phone charger. And potentially a water bottle. And a sense of humor. Seriously, bring a sense of humor. This place *demands*Book a Stay
