What guests think

Hotel Excelsior Ipoh attracts travellers with its central, walkable location and generally friendly staff, while reviews repeatedly note dated rooms, variable cleanliness, unreliable Wi‑Fi, and occasional noise from nearby venues or corridors impacting rest.

Parking is generally easy and free. Breakfast is often rated good with a decent spread, though a few guests report uneven quality or communication. Several reviews cite infrastructure hiccups such as power trips, fire alarms, and small maintenance faults. Good for budget-conscious stays where some wear and occasional disruptions are acceptable.

It's an older hotel but is clean and comfortable. Close to many restaurants and a few attractions e.g. Concubine Lane. Safe neighbourhood. Can be a bit noisy if opposite restaurant has live music, but this stopped at 10 pm. Delicious breakfast but make sure you confirm at reception you have complimentary breakfast included in your booking, if not written in booking confirmation. We were not told and ate out the first day. Surrounding shops also have nice breakfast. Hotel has free WiFi and parking.

Room is clean and spacious but wifi is terrible. Breakfast is good but the coffee is “burned”. Overall a good and comfortable stay and frankly exceeded our expectation considering the price and “age” of the hotel.

This hotel is in good location with walking distance to malls and street food. However, very disappointed with cleanliness. There was a big black shoe imprint on the duvet cover when I lift it up before I went to sleep. One of the towel has a very stinky smell. The hotel definitely needs remodeling. Staff is ok.

The room is very down, doors frames are already rotten and cannot be locked for the toilet door also. Did not provide any hand or face towels. Some rooms (we had booked 4 rooms) are choked and water flows very slowly. Poor housekeeping, only tidy up the bed and replenish the used towels, but floors are not vaccum and the rubbish (tissue papers dropped on the floor) still can be found on the floor lying same place after housekeeping. Only good of the hotel is the accessiblities to the nearby places for food and massage.

Location was excellent, right in the heart of ipoh. Property is old and obviously dated. Bathroom had been renovated, but shower door could not close, and the ventilation fan was blowing hot air into the bathroom rather than sucking it out. Led to the Aircon condensation dripping in the room. Service staff was very prompt when alerted, and came immediately to clean up. Front desk staff were friendly and attentive.

I had to go through a lot of hoops to get the room I reserved. They said they could not find my reservation and then said they will upgrade me to a room with one king bed when I specifically requested for two beds. After one hour of waiting and arguing, I got a room with two beds. Then the toilet water was running. The maintenance guys came but did not fix the problem so we ended sleeping with the sound of running water.
