Room is clean, spacious, modern. We like it a lot! Too bad no swimming pool. A bit far from town, about 7km but if you own transport will not be problem. Near by Pomelo stalls also a must visit and the pomelo is so juicy and sweet. Overall is a very high end hotel in Ipoh.

We stayed at their Deluxe Family room, which came with a queen-sized bed and a single bed, and a good view of the limestone hills opposite the main road. Our room, just like the rest of the hotel, was quite new, modern, spacious and very clean. Beds were comfortably solid, and shower was great (with a rain shower head) and the hot water was very good and stable. Our room had a mini fridge and kettle, and complimentary tea/coffee and bottled water were provided. Slippers were also provided but only upon request. Parking was free and easy with the option for indoor or outdoor parking.

The complimentary buffet breakfast we had was quite standard with some local delicacies and continental breakfast. If you're looking for something to eat outside, there is a Chinese restaurant just two blocks down that serves great noodle dishes.

Some bad points I'd like to point out: (1) air-conditioning system was not powerful enough to cool down the room in the afternoon; (2) housekeeping was slow in responding to requests (had to call three times to get an extra tea cup); (3) TV screen was quite blurry and had very limited channels available (not even a single news channel!).

Overall, despite a few glitches in our room and the service, we had a pleasant comfortable stay for a reasonable price. One important thing to note is that it's about 15 mins drive away from Ipoh city centre, and Ipoh doesn't have a good public transport system, so having your own car is a necessity. Although it is within walking distance from several temple caves (including Sam Poh Tong), the roads outside are not pedestrian-friendly, so again driving is a must.

If you want a reasonably priced hotel which is new and clean, you can always try out Symphony Suites.It may not be in the middle of the town but Ipoh is not a big town either. The hotel is just opposite the stalls that sells pomelo and since this is relatively a new area, parking outside the hotel is not a problem although the hotel offers their own parking. Room is spacious which is divided into 2 sections. So u can watch TV outside when your family or partner sleep inside the room. The carpet is also quite thick.

Breakfast is normal but not many travel to Ipoh for hotel breakfast. Only let down are the cleaners or housekeeping staffs. Although they are foreign workers, they can be trained to greet people who stay here.
