“Lovely Little Ipoh Charm”

I love that they had done up the building while leaving the original features in tact. I appreciate the antiques they have dotted within the building, the beautiful tiles, artworks, the little teapots, cups and kolehs they left in our room.

I love that they had done up the building while leaving the original features in tact. I appreciate the antiques they have dotted within the building, the beautiful tiles, artworks, the little teapots, cups and kolehs they left in our room. The building is also so conveniently located to all the cafes and sightseeing spots within old town. It has its own parking spot so you can leave your car safely in their space while exploring the area. Such a charming place. Bed is comfortable, room size is more than decent. Love it!

“Chilled out charming heritage guesthouse. And so clean.”

Location is good, near lots of restaurants and short walk from the trendy/hipster area with Concubine Lane etc. Spotlessly clean room. We had the big room with the cool bathroom with pebble floor rain and 'spout' showers. Decent beds but not the best. Staff are friendly and helpful but it's differe… more

Location is good, near lots of restaurants and short walk from the trendy/hipster area with Concubine Lane etc. Spotlessly clean room. We had the big room with the cool bathroom with pebble floor rain and 'spout' showers. Decent beds but not the best. Staff are friendly and helpful but it's different to a hotel - you're pretty much on your own. Building is beautiful and there's nice furniture which all gives it a heritage charm. We'd go back if we're lucky enough to be in Ipoh again.

“Recommended quirky hotel ”

This is a unique hotel and you should definitely stay here if you want something different. The building has character and the room too. Nothing like your standard hotel. The welcome was very friendly and the staff there were helpful. We stayed in a loft room which was on two floors. There are som… more

This is a unique hotel and you should definitely stay here if you want something different. The building has character and the room too. Nothing like your standard hotel. The welcome was very friendly and the staff there were helpful. We stayed in a loft room which was on two floors. There are some unhappy about that , maybe not for you if you don't like stairs. We thought it was very cool. Minor things like only a communal fridge and we found the bed a little hard. Only a little cubby under the stairs to sit so could do with some more cushions. The nearest shop is a couple of blocks away. Walking distance from the train station if that's your arrival point.

“Renovations Needed”

Property / Room: the property itself is beautifully decorated and is cosy & clean. But there is an issue with dampness / has a musty smell. Our room was adequately sized, great lighting but the shower stall needed some replacements to its wooden flooring (rotting wood). Staff: everyone is very f… more

Property / Room: the property itself is beautifully decorated and is cosy & clean. But there is an issue with dampness / has a musty smell. Our room was adequately sized, great lighting but the shower stall needed some replacements to its wooden flooring (rotting wood). Staff: everyone is very friendly & helpful! Location: great location as it's located between the main train station and the main streets (e.g. concubine lane). It is walking distance to the main spots in old town Ipoh. Would be something to consider returning to if there were some improvements done.
