Several report slow or delayed check-in, and the reception being on the 12th floor can feel confusing. Rooms are modern but basic for some, often lacking a fridge and bedside outlets, with occasional bathroom odors or inconsistent hot water. Breakfast is widely enjoyed and the top-floor setting is appreciated, though pricing, buffet availability, and the absence of evening meals draw complaints. Expect a practical, good-value base for sightseeing.

Hotel has been refurbished so looks nice, chic, comfortable. The room closet was an open concept, interesting. The cafe floor was still being refurbished when we were there. Staff and security guards were friendly. As the parking lots are limited, the hotel utilizes lifts to allow for 2 cars to occupy the same spot. The guards were helpful when we needed to park. The high water pressure from the bath shower was the best! Location is within walking distance of a variety of cafes, coffee shops, a food court, pubs and tourists attractions. A 7Eleven, which connected to the hotel lobby was convenient for a getting a quick drink or snack. There was a wide selection of free movies so the tv was stuck to that channel. A water cooler was available in the corridor. If you needed to boil water, there was a kettle in the room.

Just a quick overnight stay at a budget hotel. Good value for your money. Clean and quiet inside with a convenient market on the ground floor. Did not walk around the area but looking out of the window of my room there appears to be a paved walking path along the Kinta River banks with a pedestrian bridge connecting both banks. Did not try the on-site restaurant. Parking is not on-site but shuttle is available to and from hotel.

The room is newly refurbished and very tastefully decorated. There is enough room for 4 people and everything is very clean. Also, the parking lot staff is very friendly as is everybody else. There is a 7/11 store right in the hotel building which is very convenient. Altogether, a perfect place for your stay in Ipoh as everything is easily accessible in walking distance!

The hotel maintains a very high degree of safety and security standard for their customers. Both the main entrance and the reception counter on the 12/F were respectively posted with a security guard. A 7-11 shop located on the G/F is convenient for purchase of food and sundry items. The variety of food and beverages provided in the breakfast maintained an acceptable quality of taste. But I don’t know why there was a bad smell at the toilet during my stay, On conclusion, the stay in this hotel was value for money.

As you enter the hotel lobby and the room, there is a very nice fragrance that the hotel uses. There is a 7-11 store that is next to the hotel - very convenient. Hotel Staff are friendly and efficient. Hotel's location is a short walk to the old town of Ipoh where there are many eateries and shops to buy traditional foods. Not much amenties available - eg no shampoo or conditioner given, no room slippers or laundry bag given. Housekeeping staff need to be trained - to ensure that the room is properly cleaned and made up, towels are removed and changed daily, toilet bowls are cleaned properly, I did provide feedback to the reception staff and they were very efficient that they immediately contacted the housekeeping supervisor and rectified the matter. Was very pleased with the reception staff's attitude and efficiency.

The hotel is situated right at a cross junction. There is a 7-11 directly below the hotel, which is great when you need to get stuffs urgently.. The hotel is easily walkable to nearby eateries as well as train station if luggage is not too heavy. Love the huge selection of movies on the TV. Will probably not get enough time to finish watching all the shows.

Functional hotel in the old town, feels a bit like a Holiday Inn (UK) which does the job but with no frills. Room was big and clean, shower was nice and powerful, TV in the room OK. We had breakfast one morning which wasn’t included in our room rate, we were asked to accompany our server to the reception to pay the bill, felt a little bit of overkill given we could have just paid it on check out. Staff generally very helpful though and the hotel was fine for a couple of nights, for a longer stay I would recommend somewhere a bit more comfortable.

Positively, the hotel is in a good, central location, about 15 mins walk from the railway station. The restaurant on the 12th floor has an absolutely stunning view, especially at sunset. I also appreciated the TV having a wide range of films available. Staff availability wasn't great. When I arrived, there were three people at the desk on the ground floor, whose only job it seemed was to direct people to the reception on the 12th floor. At reception, there was one person and a queue of about five groups waiting to check in. Also, I had to knock on the kitchen door to locate any waiting staff in the restaurant after waiting for over 10 minutes. My other frustration was that there was no bedlight, nor any electric socket near the bed.

Convenient location, located just a short walk away from old town Ipoh and about 10-15 minutes walk from the Ipoh train station. Within the hotel lobby is a convenient store, and just next door is a historical restaurant pub. Further a little ways is the old town which hosts many eateries, cafes, shops, and tourist spots. Hotel is newly refurbished, and the rooms are clean and tidy, modern looking, and cozy with a great view overlooking Ipoh city and the Kinta river. The sheets and pillows were spotless, the bathroom was clean and well stocked with basic toiletries, however, the room does not have a mini fridge. Check-in and out was a breeze, and the staff and receptionist were incredibly courteous and friendly. All in all, a perfect hotel for a quick getaway in Ipoh with easy access, comfortable rooms, and perfect location.

A high quality hotel but unfortuantely when we requested for extra 2 pillows, we were given 2 pillows which has wrinkle pillow cases and smells awful. When we brought the pillows down to the receptionist, we were told to bring it back to our room and a dosmetic will bring us another pair of pillows. I think its unacceptable and felt that the receptionist should at least take the dirty pillows from me instead of asking me to bring the smelly pillows back to my room. Also not a word of apolgies from the receptionist.

Hotel is newly refurbished, and the rooms are clean and tidy, modern looking, and cozy with a great view overlooking Ipoh city and the Kinta river. The sheets and pillows were spotless, the bathroom was clean and well stocked with basic toiletries, however, the room does not have a mini fridge. Check-in and out was a breeze, and the staff and receptionist were incredibly courteous and friendly. All in all, a perfect hotel for a quick getaway in Ipoh with easy access, comfortable rooms, and perfect location.

Location
Central, walkable base near Ipoh Old Town and the train station. A few note the entrance sits on a curve or busy street, and the immediate area feels less appealing at night.

The hotel is much closer to the train station than it looks on the map. One can easily walk to the hotel from the train station with no problem. We arrived in the dark and when it was raining hard and had to take the taxi to the hotel. In the morning when we walked round the area we found the hotel really close to shops and restaurants in the city. The only problem is the bus or long distance coach station is a long way off the city and almost half an hour's taxi ride. You want to catch the coach to Cameron Highlands beware of the distance of the coach terminal and the city and give yourself plenty of time.

Hotel was very welcoming in terms of hospitality and comfort. The only setback is the location. It's very dangerous to drop off and pick up as it is located at a curve. Vehicles speeding makes it inconvenient and unsafe too.

Checking in is strictly at 3pm and registration process is rather slow. But otherwise this hotel is value for money located in the quiet part of old town close to Concubine Street and Ipoh Padang/Birch Memorial Clock. Grab car takes you anywhere in Ipoh at low cost.

Ordentliches Hotel, ohne große Stärken oder Schwächen. Das Zimmer war einigermaßen modern und sauber. Der Bahnhof von Ipoh ist zu Fuß erreichbar, die Sehenswürdigkeiten auch. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich ein 7Eleven-Supermarkt.

Functional hotel in the old town, feels a bit like a Holiday Inn (UK) which does the job but with no frills. Room was big and clean, shower was nice and powerful, TV in the room OK. We had breakfast one morning which wasn’t included in our room rate, we were asked to accompany our server to the reception to pay the bill, felt a little bit of overkill given we could have just paid it on check out. Staff generally very helpful though and the hotel was fine for a couple of nights, for a longer stay I would recommend somewhere a bit more comfortable.

Positively, the hotel is in a good, central location, about 15 mins walk from the railway station. The restaurant on the 12th floor has an absolutely stunning view, especially at sunset. I also appreciated the TV having a wide range of films available. Staff availability wasn't great. When I arrived, there were three people at the desk on the ground floor, whose only job it seemed was to direct people to the reception on the 12th floor. At reception, there was one person and a queue of about five groups waiting to check in. Also, I had to knock on the kitchen door to locate any waiting staff in the restaurant after waiting for over 10 minutes. My other frustration was that there was no bedlight, nor any electric socket near the bed.

The hotel is in a great location and our room has a beautiful view of the river. It was very quiet and comfortable. The lobby is connected to a 7-Eleven convenient store, which is very nice. The stuff members were all very friendly and professional. The newly opened breakfast dining hall on the 12th floor has a spectacular view of the city. We would be just as happy to sip our coffee and enjoy the beautiful view all morning long. The servers there were very sweet and they made sure that we were all well taken care of. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay there again.

Room was clean, within walking distance to concubine lane, abit hard to reach out to staff even during work hours, reception is not 24 hours and there's no assistance after working hours. I had extended one day of my stay and I requested for another towel as the shower area flooded and I was told I cannot have another one because re-checked in today only. Suggest the hotel could do a one for one exchange for towels in case there's really an urgent need to use it instead.
