  Location location location. Good hotel if you are a foodie.

  08 Nov 2022

  Hotel location is great if your objective is to eat all the nice food in Ipoh.Nearby is the Salt Baked Chicken, Lou Wang Tauge Chicken, Ong Kee Tauge Chicken, Tuck Kee for the Ipoh Horfun and octopus legs. You can also have desserts at Funny Mountain for bean curd. If you like to buy food souvenir, go to the famous Sin Eng Heong bakery for kaya puff.Beside the hotel, there is pasar malam night market at night called Gerbang Malam. This only sells some clothes, toys. There is no food truck. Mostly Malay sellers.Grab is very convenient and quite cheap. Most of my trips are just worth 5myr. Ipoh Parade Mall is nearby like a 7 min ride only. I also took grab from this hotel to various popular dimsum stalls like Ming Court, Foh San and also the popular Ipoh coffee place called Nam Heong and Sin Yoon Loong. The hotel condition is a bit run down. There is no buffet breakfast. Dont expect anything else. It's a very basic hotel.

  Basic Hotel

  03 May 2022

  This is a basic hotel in the heart of Ipoh old town. The warm hotel staff are really helpful. If you hate driving around, and don't mind walking, then this hotel is definitely a value for money.While this hotel hits strong points for location and service, it still falls short for 1) Weak Water Pressure in the bathrooms2) Limited choice of Tv Channels

  Faulty equipment

  26 Aug 2019

  The room that we stayed, got lights blinking when u switch on any switch for power. So what do you do? Try to call the receptionist via phone, the phone is spoilt. Can anything else goes wrong? The aircon remote can’t be used to adjust fan speed. Mentioned all the problem, reluctantly they asked us to change room. So you got to move all the bags to another room. We decided to stay put and bear with it. One thing I appreciate About them is they are very generous to give us spare pillows.

  cheap and clean

  15 Sept 2018

  Positives. Excellent location. Basic room but very clean. Good shower. Friendly, helpful staff. Hotel got us taxi to train station for 7/10 rings. When we arrived we were charged 22 !!!!!!Negatives. Some guests smoke in their rooms, even though it is a none smoking hotel. For us a big negative was no breakfast. We had to search hard to find some where for a basic western breakfast. ie toast and eggs. We are seasoned travellers, always enjoy the regional food but do enjoy a simple western breakfast. If all you eat is western food Ipoh is definitely not a place for you. Watch where you walk at night there are open drains so you could have a c****y night out, literally. It is worth a short visit and like us travel by train from KL. We booked tickets online in advance.

  Great location!

  14 Sept 2018

  The room was clean and basic, but comfortable. It is located very close to the famous Lou Wong and On Kee chicken rice shops. Price is very reasonable considering the location. Front desk was also very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you're looking for something budget friendly and close to the eateries.
