    Everything is good only the location is best for tourist without vehicles, should have a notice saying it’s best to not go out after 5-6pm as night market is just infront of the hotel, the car will need to put further away from hotel and if early can get a spot but if u come back from other place when night market started, u will face a damn traffic and hard to find parking spot. However, owner is very cooperative and supportive as he reply fast to voice out solutions~ for that really appreciate it! Good location to go everywhere in Ipoh definitely! Next time will go there without driving a car OR will go around Ipoh with car till 5pm and stay at hotel as to not meet the jam and ready to park at nearby place that does not hinder the vendors. Thank you!

    Was very hot at night, aircondition didn't function properly. Also the planning of room can be not comfortable for 2 people, bed and toilet and everything is just in one room, separated only by curtains. For me was ok as travelling solo. You also need to walk to get any breakfast in the morning as cafeteria downstairs opens only at 11.

    Clean and stylish appartment, walking distance from city center. Good wifi. Very nice caffee downstairs.

    1. Ants were around the corner, even some appeared on my pillows. I am wondering the itchiness of my body isn't the ants. 2. The noise of outside (like a sound from a band) till 3 am then I could enjoy fully quietness. 3. If there is a small fridge, it will be perfect for my stay. 4. Aircon can be stronger a bit as the lower temp switch to 16 degC is equivalent 22 degC of my current room.

    The cozy and the layout of the room. The bathtub and the rain shower made me happy. The location is super convenient and easy to discover local food stalls just around the guesthouse.

    As other reviewers mentioned, you can hear music from the night market up to 2am (they provide earplugs). Just a curtain separates the toilet with the bedroom,so it’s semi-private only.

    Cosy room, modern and clean with a very comfy bed and a nice cafe downstairs.

    1.Facilities - parking is not provided and after 6pm have to park quite far because there will be night market everyday from 6pm - 12pm. So have to walk very far and parking near the guesthouse is very limited. - this place is not accessible by handicapped person as there is no lift provided and only have stairs and the stairs is quite steep.

    Very nice guest house. Equipped with bathub and all other essential needs for the stay. A lot of food varieties which is just walking distance from the property. Easy check in and they are able to accommodate to our request for early check in without additional charges. The guest house has a cafe downstairs which is nice and it open until 5pm except on tuesday.

    From the pictures, the room seemed bigger than it actually was. It's really small and the curtain separates the bathroom from the sleeping area… not sure if a good idea. You really have to be in confidence with the person traveling with you to stay in this room. We were woken up by the bar staff around 8 am because they were yelling and singing songs, the rooms are not soundproof, and basically, you can hear everything happening in the rooms of other guests. The chilling area was totally abandoned and also faced trash and abandoned buildings.

    The position is central and nice During the night with the night market. The bed was comfortable.

    Ill say if you are a light sleeper do consider bringing your ear buds as there is a night market right below and especially at 12pm when they are leaving its relatively noisy.

    Very clean, tub and clean and shower water power was great. Comfortable stay overall and excellent location.

    Soundproofing wasn't great; the music from the café was loud at times, and there was also noise from the night market very night. Hot water was erratic so I was showering in cold or lukewarm water half the the time. This also meant I couldn't use the bathtub as much as the water wasn't sufficiently hot for a soak. Pillows were very soft with little neck support. No hook for a hand towel at the sink, so I had to awkwardly reach for the towel hanging on the rack every time I washed my hands. There were stains on the bedsheets. Tea bags and a fridge for storing cold drinks would have been appreciated.

    Good location with many eating places and famous biscuit shops nearby. The Old Town is a 15 minute walk away. Room is cosy and just nice for one person. Minimalist industrial design and the patterned tiles add a touch of charm.

    Electric jug but no cups, spoons, coffee sachets etc. A lamp but not the correct plug to turn it on.

    Good bathroom, nicely designed, good location, good café downstairs, night market right outside, not too far from the Heritage Trail.
