Ah.. this one. Well it depends on individual. It is not suitable for elderly or people who have knee problem. Might have difficulty to go for the 3rd floor stairs. Plus if you are a solo traveller with hang carry luggage.

Near to town and very convenient to find food.

The room didn’t really look like the pictures. I booked the queen room because of the beautiful windows shown in the pictures. Unfortunately the window I had was frosted and covered in bars- looked more like a jail cell. My room also had a small balcony but they were storing some plastic materials there so I could barely step outside. No cleaning or replenished supplies during my 5 night stay.

Overall this place is good value for money and in a decent location. Bed was really comfy.

Although I stayed on the highest floor, I could still clearly hear noise from outside. It’s understandable since the hotel is located in the city center, but some better soundproofing would help improve the stay. Also, it would be more convenient if each floor had a water dispenser and a fridge, instead of having just one set on the ground floor—especially since the hotel has three floors. Lastly, it would be great if the hotel could proactively contact guests with the entrance door password ahead of time, rather than guests needing to search for a contact number to request it. This small change could make the self check-in experience feel more smooth and welcoming.

I stayed at 85 Boutique Hotel as a solo traveler and had a really pleasant experience. The location is excellent—I explored most of Ipoh city just by walking. From the hotel, it was super easy to reach shopping malls, local food streets, popular attractions, and convenience stores, all within walking distance. The hotel uses a self check-in system, which was smooth and convenient. I actually didn’t meet any staff from check-in to check-out, and everything was well-arranged digitally. The room was clean and tidy, and for the price, I was really impressed. They provided shampoo, body wash, a toothbrush, shower cap, and even two bottles of branded mineral water for free. P/s: The hotel is quite beautiful too the interior decoration!! It looks like an old building that had been furnishing! If you’re a solo traveler or just looking for a clean, convenient, and affordable stay in Ipoh, I’d definitely recommend this place!

East check in and check out. Had a free water refill station, great lighting a comfortable big bed, hot shower, shelves and a desk for work etc. WiFi was steady. I forgot my eyeglasses and the owner made a valiant effort to send them. That’s great service.

Can hear ppl from the next room talking and laughing.

The decoration and ambience is 8/10.

Well, the mosaic tiling took a little bit to warm up to. And the height of the steps on the staircase was not all equal, if I really want to nitpick. But having said that I'd book it again.

The caretaker Mr Tan decided to forward all the necessary information I needed to check in. And he also gave a heads up about checking out. The location was just great for my purposes this time around - I didn't have a car with me so it's cool.

It wouldve been nice if they provided more rubbish bins and plastic bags for us to dispose our trash, but it wasn't really an issue

Reading the comments I was worried how our room would look but it is surprisingly quite clean and comfortable. A spacious room for two. Beds are comfy and the heating works nice for the water. Easy self check-in and checkout. Bear in mind, some areas of the room/building may be under refurbishment, but they don't look dirty nor give off any icks. The hotel is located just a few blocks away from "Gerbang Malam", a very strategical place for us to walk at night and have dinner. Since it is not in the middle of the busy street, we had no problem with traffic noises of any sorts.

Nothing really just a warning for the stairs :)

It was a perfect location to walk around Ipoh. Quite central and had lots of options to eat and try out places that had the famous White Coffee.

Its a nice room but with that price and not much facilities in the room, it quite pricey

The only thing bothering us was the bathroom. It wasn’t really clean, needs some love and renovation.

Appreciated the privacy we had. Own bathroom and easy check-in and check-out. The bed was comfortable, the hotel overall nicely decorated. We also had a possibility to leave our bags in a room before check-in and after check-out.

Near eatery places. My room is quite ok.

Whilst in an alley off the main road, traffic noise does penetrate the slated windows. These windows are also opaque, which kind of goes against the quiet street view description.

A simple yet comfortable stay. The room was very basic but had everything needed. The self-check-in process was easy to follow, though there was an issue with my designated room not being prepared. However, the owner responded promptly, coming to the hotel to arrange a temporary room until the next day.

Yes, like many other stated there are mosquitoes. As long as the doors are kept close that wouldnt be a huge issue.

The location is perfect. Strongly recommend those who wants to visit Ipoh old town for food hunt. The bed was comfy and room is comfortably spacius. Easy check in and check out process as well!

Can’t think of anything except a TV would be a good addition to the room.

It’s very clean and convenient. The bed was extremely comfortable, the AC worked well and the shower was perfectly warm. Mr Tan also was very helpful.

1) There are still some on-going renovations so the place is a bit dusty (but it'll be better soon). 2) The bathroom in our room need some upkeeping - lock is coming apart and some stains/mold around the WC (exterior - a little brushing is all it needs).

1) Located closed to eateries, shops selling local products and Ipoh wet market. Convenient street parking available. Less than 10mins drive to the more popular Kong Heng Square/Concubine Lane. 2) Double security - 1 at main entrance to hotel (numeric touchpad) and 1 to the room (key-box). 3) Bed & linens are clean and comfortable. Room is clean with sufficient plug points. Pressure from water heater is good and air-con works well.
