Detailed Reviews
A gem of a find in my honest opinion.The 2-bedroom apartment we had was exactly how it should look like in photos on hotel booking sites. The apartment was spacious and bright, with ample breathing space for the 5 of us. Location wise, 20-30 minutes walk can bring us to many places - famous eateries in Old Town, or even the Ipoh Parade mall.
What's most commendable is the quality of service in a 3-star hotel, the frontdesk staff are knowledgeable and provided sincere personal recommendations on where to go and how to get there instead of some touristy fluff.
Highly recommended for travelling with family or friends!

Stayed at Osborne on 10th June in their 3 bedroom apartment. This is a very nice and fully furnished apartment. The interior design is simple yet moden, most of the furniture is from Ikea. Location is abit tricky as it's hidden behind the main road (tips : behind 'coffin street'), but very near to 'Gerbang Malam' and those famous bean sprout chicken rice shop(10 mins walk). Try to break the tradition bean sprout chicken rice and explore to others good foods in ipoh. There is 1 very nice curry mee is just 5 mins walk from Osborne @ 'Restaurant Xin Quan Fang' a.k.a 'police station curry mee'. Yong tau foo in Jalan King a.k.a 'big tree foot' serve the best yong tau foo in ipoh! Ther is few more western cafe around ipoh serve good foods as well. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay👍👍👍.

The place has a great location....but the place is run by workers & owners are never around...I have been to this place a couple of times on business.. I have always felt suspicious when I see that the sheet look rumpled... This last trip, I got them to change the sheets. I spoke to cleaners & confirmed that they do not always put in clean sheets... So remind them to change the sheets when you get in....

I booked Osborne Apartments through Agoda website. When I got to the apartments, we found out that there were no electricity. Since my family and I did not want to stay in place where there were no air cond, we requested for a refund as it was a valid reason.
However, we were faced with a staff who was not well equipped to handle such situations who called the duty manager by the name of Christine (who was not around). On the phone, Christine only offered excuses on why a refund was not possible as Agoda has not paid them. We were asked to call Agoda directly as they refused to let us use their phone. They did not even know their own hotel ID number registered with Agoda.
Agoda too could not offer much help and while we were talking to Agoda Christine walked in and again flatly refused a refund without even being sympathetic to our needs.
By that time, the electricity came back and we end up checking in. However, the rude duty manager had spoilt our day and it ended up becoming a very unpleasant stay.
I wonder how the Management can allow someone at the front desk to behave in such a manner and I don't know why they wanted to risk Osborne Apartment's reputation by refusing a refund. I hope the Management send Christine for training on how to provide better customer service.
This will be my one and only stay in Osborne Apartment.

Dear Value Guest, Thank you for your feedback and my sincere apology for the inconvenient caused. And the standard hotel cancellation policy stated clearly in Agoda's booking that the cancellation received within 7 days prior to arrival will incur the first night charge. Thus, request you to call Agoda to check is there possible to you to cancel the booking without any penalty charges. I sincerely hope that this unpleasant experience will not deter you from patronizing The Osborne Apartment, Ipoh again.

It was really hard for us to access the apartment even we drove with our GPS, it is too new to the locals too. The phone number provided is also incorrect. We stayed on the 2/f and we had to bring our luggages upstairs also as there is no lift. May be just because it's 2/f, the flash water flash slowly. Yet, the rooms are spacious and furnished in IKEA style that make us feel comfortable and did not want to go out. It is really quite near the Restoran Lou Wong Tange Ayam Keutiau. Whenever you found yourself hungry, you may get to the restaurants nearby.

With merely RM 220 can stay up for 5 adults + 1 kid is quite a good deal. In the room found a playpen as well. But no mattress in the apartment, maybe need to request from the front office. It's alright, I'm not using it either. With 2 bathrooms, quite spacious with water heater. The best part is the dining table was set up with the dining set. TV was good too but limited astro channels. WIFI is strong. AirCond was good too, but with one remote control only.
The downside is on the surrounding only, got uncles talking quite loud when we were sleeping. Walking distance to one of the main street. Quite convenient.
Anyone travelling with seniors who can't climb up the stairs, well this place is just not able to offer lift. Everything else, I would come back again.

Stayed here for the second time and was not disappointed as the place was still clean and well maintained. This place is suitable if you are looking for a place just to rest for a night or two with a living room to gather around. The family suite is better than the junior suite as it is more spacious.
My only complaint was that no tissue papers were supplied.
Don't expect any luxurious facilities and you will not be disappointed.

This place was a good option for us because it offers apartment style living, good parking, and security for our family with 2 kids. We stayed four nights. The staff was excellent from our first inquiry, booking, and throughout our stay. Since the business is somewhat new, the beds, linens, furniture and bathrooms were in good shape. We really appreciated the daily housekeeping, complimentary water, coffee, tea, dishes, cutlery, and big fridge. Just a few negatives: the halls are noisy and sounds really echo throughout the building. The accoustics in our living area made all of our voices seem loud, probably because of the cement walls and tile floor. The walls need some paint touching up, and the bedrooms lack reading lights/ lamps. The location is convenient for people with a car, but otherwise, the shabby surroundings make walking not so appetizing. Wifi was not dependable at all. Over all, a decent place, and the neighborhood is set to improve with a huge 21 story hotel/residences/shops building being built down the street. Ipoh has some true charm. Definitely worth a visit and this is a good base.

Checked in this place with a total of 5 of us in a 2 room unit. Totally value for money stay as everyone have a proper bed to rest on. The location is also spot on as its in the middle of most food attraction.
***I have review the previous comments by other visitors prior to this trip. Fortunately i did not encounter any of the complains by other patrons. No noisy nights, no unfriendly receptionist. It was as a whole a pleasant stay.
