January 2023

We really liked our room and the very "arty" design of the hotel. The staff was helpful (we could left our luggages for the day while visiting). Perhaps not the best "quality / price", but it definitely has character.

However a few aspects could be improved : -the room was globally "clean", but the bathroom was not and would really need to be freshened (there was a few bugs inside...) -a light next to the bed would be really useful -the rooms are not well sound proof and was quite noisy

The room and the balcony was nice. The wood decorations everywhere are stunning. Great location in the centre of old Ipoh.

The whole hotel smells mouldy, even though it's clean. Perhaps the management could work on that.

Very central to old town and it is a traditional type residence.

Room was dark, beds were very hard and NO WiFi internet. Accommodation was not quite what we were expecting.
