The hotel location was in a very convenient place. All hotel workers are very nice. They had a nice breakfast with hard working friendly staff. The room was very clean. The only thing was at night they had a Karaoke or some sort of party at a lower floor. The sound travelled to the hotel room. But it was a very minor point. Overall, it was a good hotel with the price I paid and made my Ipoh stay great.

Old property with great location
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.

Comfortable stay
The location is great. Ample indoor parking space. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The check in was fast but a deposit of RM50 in needed. 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.

Location is excellent. However WiFi was disconnected twice and maintenance had to come up to fix. Overhead rain shower was not working and no hand & face towels provided. These were minor but kinda spoils it a little. Otherwise the staff were very friendly!

The hotel room condition was exceeded our expectation considering the pricing. The location is excellent which is near to many attractions and famous restaurants. However, the live band opposite the hotel was really noisy on Sat night. The noise was continued till past midnight. Other than that, the room was good value for money.

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.

You will regret to stay in this hotel
The only advantage to stay in this hotel is the location it situated. Other than this, I think Motel can be better in turn of room cleanliness, quietness, internet wifi speed, toiletry supplies, house keeping, breakfast quality and choice of foods... If you need to stay in this hotel and thinking of taking breakfast there, I think you should save the money and enjoy breakfast outside rather than eating low quality food inside the hotel. I gave up taking breakfast there after my first BF there though I had paid for it. I had 2 transaction for my credit cards for nothing after checking my credit card notice and hope there cancel those transactions by now.

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.
