Close to the train station, most of the visiting areas are walkable, and plenty of dining options. The only thing, that has nothing to do with the hotel is that there is a karaoke bar around the block that blasts its music late into the night.

This is my repeat feedback since the first wasn't published by Hotel.com. There is no proper check-in services. Only one person taking care of everything. There is no wifi, no minibar, no cafe and the TV doesn't work. The toilet is in terrible condition with mouldy walls and mouldy shower curtain. I see the website still falsely advertising that it has wifi and a cafe. The bed is a hard rock mattress. We left after the first despite paying for 3 nights.

This place has so much potential to be great! The interior is impressive. Time, thought and money have clearly been invested in the design. The hotel is right in the old town, so it's easy to pop in and out for toilet stops, water refills etc. There is a small water dispenser for morning coffees. Rooms come with a bit of coffee and shower toiletries. The pricing point doesn't quite match the room facilities in comparison to other guest houses I've stayed in throughout SE Asia though. AUD$20 less a night and it'd be fine. There is just 1 bloke trying to do everything (maybe the team in the always empty restaurant could take their hands out of their pockets and muck in). He was trying to clean rooms at 6pm and after while checking guests in. So I don't fault him, he was trying hard. There is little noise blocking. If you like hearing both sides of the neighbours' argument then you'll love this place. Same with hearing the Sinhalese Bar patrons singing drunkenly on a Sunday evening. Monday was surprisingly quiet. What really REALLY REALLY lets this place down is the beds. I had read they were a little on the firm side. Mate! If you bushwalk and camp overnight on an 5mm inflatable mat you'll be right. If you want to pre-experience before booking, put a thin mattress topper on a bed of bricks and try sleeping. I felt every age related injury and ache the next morning after sleeping here, I assure you. I had a look, they're box springs with thin toppers.

The location is great, right in the old town. The room was small but adequate with all the quaint features I was expecting. However there was no drinking water in the rooms and although I could see a wifi connection I was told I couldn't have the password. There is no storage in the room so it wouldn't be suitable for a longer stay. The bed was on the firm end of comfortable for me.

This property was dirty. The bed linen gave me itchy ness and the worst was there was no hot water. They use a solar without electrical back up. The next day wanted to change room but their hot shower was the same. They seem to encourage the patron with cold blasting showers! Not even a shower cap provided, it was devastating as I went to the salon!

Beautiful, centrally located hotel. Well designed. Bed a little hard, but lived the wooden facades etc. Was disappointed than our reservation included breakfast but the hotel doesn't do breakfast?! We checked out at 11am butthere was no one in reception at all to give key too,which was a little odd.

Supply of hot water is unreliable. Replacement of wet towels and tidy up rooms have to be requested. Generally it lacks a service mindset and certainly over priced.

I really wanted to give this hotel an excellent review. Beautiful, boutique, funky, great staff, excellent location. Regrettably, the comfort of the room was hideous. Worst bed and paper thin walls. Our neighbors crashed in at 1.00 am and I honestly though they had come into our room by mistake and I normally wear a hearing aid when not in bed. The discomfort of the bed was extreme. A kettle is provided but no tea or coffee so not much point. At 8.30 am on a Sunday morning no hot water either. I was very relieved to leave.

A very nicely decorated hotel which gives a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are also very nice and the breakfast is very delicious. The only down point is thay the room is a bit small and it is rather noisy in the morning in our attic room. Maybe other rooms would be more quiet.

This hotel is located in old town Ipoh, it does not have a lift or WiFi so it is fairly inconvenient. But the room and the bathroom is clean and tidy. It doesn't have much but it is reasonable. The location is key and that is all it matters.
