A very modern hotel with friendly staff. One of the nearer hotels to the old town (5-8 minutes) which is a plus.
Lovely bathroom with excellent powerful shower. Placed to eat nearby. WiFi a little hit & miss only downside we could think of.

used to be owned by air Asia under their Tune budget hotel chain.
No complaint as a seasoned global budget traveller like me whose only expectation is safe, clean, functional, well located(depends on your needs as to whether it's near food or attractions).
It fits the bill with price without frills.
As to a comment below staff are not communicative, you need to appreciate most employees whom take on the role are not highly trained or paid professionals. If you can speak malay ( I m a Malaysian) you will not perhaps encounter such issues. so no compliants.

The standard double room we had was very small with barely enough space on the floor for our bags. No wardrobe, just 3 hangers hanging over a counter. No drawers, just 2 side tables. No fridge but there was a safe. No coffee-making facilities but we were provided with 2 bottles of drinking water every day and there was a water dispenser near the lift for us to refill our bottles which was very appreciated. The room was clean and looked quite new. Comfortable bed. We like it that private parking is always available in the basement with a security guard (though he was absent from his post most of the time!) A lift is available in the basement to access the lobby and higher floors - we could only access our floor using our room access card - good security. A few restaurants and eateries nearby. Good for a short stay.
Location : Convenient and near to a lot of eateries
Room : Small but clean. Come with toiletries and bottles of mineral water. Water dispenser available near the lift. Aircon is not cold enough even at 17 degree Celsius so need to switch on the ceiling fan as well
Car park : basement. Plenty of space. Can park by the side of the hotel.
If you are looking for a place to short stay, it is quite decent hotel. At the moment, still look quite new and well maintained.
I stayed here for one night in July. The room though small, was clean. It had the basic amenities and I was told it was previously owned by Tune hotels. The WiFi was fine, though I found the air conditioning to be problematical. The room was not cool even though I reduced the temperature to 17C. The staff who came to fix the problem gave me the remote control so that I could increase the fan speed. But to no avail. I didn’t ask for a change of rooms because it was for one night. Apart from this, I think the front desk staff could be a bit friendlier. They seemed a bit stand offish.
The bathroom could be more cleaned. They had ads in the elevator showing gym facility, but truth is it had been shut down.
The price per night was cheap. The location nearby to the Ipoh centre. So everything quite walking distance, or actually reacheable by food panda service. The hotel located in front of Sunday Market, but can park vehicle at their basement for free.
