Ipoh Downtown Hotel

A very basic hotel. The room we had was fair size but needed maintenance. There were signs of damp, rust noted from the door arm, the safe is not working ( which I did report) and also battery on the remote for the television has also run out. On our first day, the quilt cover had two stained spots but luckily the bedsheets are changed daily

The hotel is fairly basic. The reception area is rather cluttered with various posters and items for sale. My room was comfortable and was painted all white with all black wooden furniture: a double bed, two side tables, a desk, a chair, and an open closet with clothes rack. The TV remote didn't work, probably because the batteries were flat, and the room safe didn't work either, probably for the same reason. There is a kettle with sachets of coffee, but the coffee is that 3-in-1 mix of nescafe, sugar, and creamer which is dreaded by the majority of coffee drinkers who don't take milk, or sugar, or both. The bathroom has good water pressure and the usual toiletries in this part of the world -- soap, shampoo, and toothbrush with toothpaste. For tourists, the main virtue of the hotel is its location, just a couple of block from the night market and a variety of Chinese restaurants.

Exceptional value for money A top location: restaurants opposite, night market 100m away, laundry, massage Clean hotel, spacious room, available staff, Status slot for grab Supermarket next door Recommended with closed eyes
