As a family of three, we stayed at Kinta Riverfront Hotel between 22nd and 25th July without any problems AT FIRST. The check in was fine. Attentive concierge who helped uploaded and unloaded our bags and cases. The room we had was the most spacious when compared to all the other rooms we had at other hotels in the country. Room was clean even though it might appear a little aged. Extremely convenient location as it is within walkable distance to the Ipoh Old Town, the Concubine Lane and a couple of museums we wanted to visit. We were spoilt by the eateries nearby, who provided abundance of food, especially Hong Kong style dim sum, which we loved. The bonus facility provided by the hotel is the swimming pool which my son used every morning and evening, while we were there. We checked out before midday of 25th July, ready to depart for Penang. Once I handed the door key (in the form of a card) to the front desk staff, he said to me promptly “ Thank you very much, you are already checked out!” At that point, I had completely forgotten about the RM50 deposit I had paid to the hotel and and like me my husband had also forgotten about it, even though he witnessed the entire check out process. He only reminded me about the deposit a couple of days later, when we were in Penang. …

If you wish to have a relaxing moment with a touch of nostalgia in Ipoh, Kinta Riverfront Hotes & Suites, is a good choice. Our one night stay at the hotel was very enjoyable. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly welcomed by genial staff of the hotel. The room was spacious with a big window overlooking the river. A thoughtful welcome gifts consist of Sweets and Snacks plus Bedak Nyonya on the dressing table, really reminded me of the yesteryears. Some locally sourced fruits had completed the aesthetics. Buffet breakfast was a great affair. The vintage styled Coffee House brought back memories of kopitiam of the old world. Excellent food quality with a mixture of Malaysian comfort food & drinks especially Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik, Kopi Kampong, Pulut Kuning & Rendang plus many more. As you enjoy the ambience, you are spoilt of eating more than usual. Forget your "Dare I Eat That" (DIET) for a while. To add more to our comfortable & memorable stay was the General Manager himself, Mr Azhar, who has a very good public relations skills. I also highly recommend the Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites as a stopover for travellers passing by Ipoh or as a breakfast spot to remember the old times while enjoying their delicious food varieties.…

They wanted to charge me for a bucket of ice, which was ridiculous. for the amount of RM 420 paid for a night. Nurul the Duty Manager handled my needs efficiently, I thank her for that. No swimming pool attendant & towels, no safety measures. The Cafe team was spectacular, great food. There was no room service menu in the room & we we not briefed about the room during check in. Room was extremely dusty.

Stayed here recently on a trip down the peninsula. Apparently, it was built in 2012 and it appears to have had little money spent on the rooms / corridors since then. The foyer looks fairly Grand and the front desk / concierge staff are friendly and efficient, however when you leave the lift to find your room, you are hit with dirty carpets and wallpaper. The rooms are a good size but the effects of years of guests are showing with carpets stained and faded. They were however not dangerous. The bathroom was serviceable, just tired looking. Facilities are satisfactory and the air con worked well. Where the hotel redeemed itself was with breakfast which had a great range and very fresh considering the few people staying in the hotel. It was also well located, on the river front, but the water of the river was quite dirty and opposite a nice park, but also a public housing monstrosity - Waller Court. A 15 min walk to restaurants in both the old and new parts of the city were close enough. If I had to, I would have no qualms about staying at this hotel again, but I do think there are probably better out there, although it was good value.…

Nice place but was charged for the free breakfast that was supposed to be free in the advert. Thought it was strange but being in a foreign country didn’t make too much of a fuss. Restaurant, pool and gym were adequate but the Wi-Fi was not was available in the room. Being a resort hotel I would have liked to find information and maps of local attractions but nothing available until I asked and was firstly told to look at the internet and after I mentioned this should be provided a member of staff got me the information.

One of those places with a fancy, marble foyer and when you get to your room you're a little disappointed. The location of the hotel was pleasing; an easy walk into the Ipoh 'old town' and the staff were welcoming enough, but the room itself was very tired and is in need of an update. We felt safe in the hotel and the room was cool and well lit. Average- wouldn't actively seek it out as a place to stay.

The only thing good is the variety of breakfast. Other than that, it’s terrible. The beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. We stayed for 2 nights, and we had severe back pain because of the bed and pillows. The room had a weird smell. The carpet in the room was stained, the curtains were so dirty. Room service did not replenish our bath gel! Never coming back here again!

I stayed here in the Deluxe King Room for 2 nights with my wife and 2 children (7 & 6 years old), and we managed to just fit on the King size bed. The room is spacious. We paid over RM300 per night which I think is fair consider it was holiday season and I booked rather late. It's not my first time here, stayed multiple times for my business trip and glad it maintained well after the Covid lockdown. Everything in the room is still in good condition. Those who drive, basement parking lots are available and they are now collecting RM2 per stay for hotel guests. Location is good with just 2-3km away from most of the famous Chinese eateries. At night you can just cross the street to the Kinta River where there are rides for the children to enjoy. There is a 7-Eleven store at Ground floor but it closed rather early about 8-9PM. I did not take the breakfast so no comment on that.…

This is a hotel that doesn't care about maintaining its rooms. All faulty items such as switches, sinks, broken wall , etc. are not repaired. The lighting in the room was dim due to insufficient of lighting points. The only place of the hotel looks great was the reception hall. This hotel hardly meets the standard of a 3 stars hotel
