When planning your trip to Ipoh, the location of your arrival airport is a primary factor. Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH) is the only facility situated within the city itself, offering unparalleled convenience for travelers who want to reach the old town or local hotels in minutes. For international visitors, Penang International Airport (PEN) and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) serve as significant gateways in neighboring cities. While these airports are located outside Ipoh, they offer broader flight connections. Travelers landing at Penang International Airport (PEN) can opt for a scenic drive or a train journey via Butterworth. Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) in the Klang Valley is better suited for those visiting the capital region before heading north. Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR), serving the nearby city of Alor Setar, is an alternative for northern travelers. We recommend choosing Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH) if your schedule allows, as it minimizes transfer complexity and travel costs. For other airports, booking a private transfer or the ETS train offers the best balance between comfort and speed.

The hotel was good and the breakfast was decent as well. We stayed at level 8, which we were told is one of the newly renovated floors, along with Level 7.
However, the room service team did not respond to our request. We left a note on the table requesting room slippers before heading to work in the morning, but the request was not attended to. Nevertheless, the hotel receptionist was very responsive and promptly arranged for the room slippers to be delivered after we contacted them.FromUS$36

1. The location is a bit out of the city center, but not too far, about a 15-minute drive.
2. The hotel staff are well-mannered, very polite, and provide excellent service; they are very enthusiastic and helpful.
3. Although the hotel is not in the city center, it's not far from restaurants, hawker centers, and food stalls, and it's also close to Cui Hua Lou Dim Sum restaurant.
4. It's worth mentioning that the hotel provides ample parking spaces, saving time spent looking for parking.
5. Overall, this hotel offers good value for money, and the rooms are quite spacious. It's definitely worth a stay.FromUS$42

Hotel is quite old and outdated. Parking is super limited, probably less than 15 parking units for the whole hotel, so most likely you have to park outside and make sure to pay parking unless you want to get summoned.
The iron is not even hot enough to iron a simple cloth. Aircond water sometimes suddenly starts dripping and the shower doesn’t even have hot water. Breakfast was okay only to fill your stomach, don’t expect much.
Positive point would be the hardworking staff. Overall, for the price, you definitely can get a better place.FromUS$25

A great stay for my family. The unit is clean and spacious enough for us. 1 parking slot is provided and it is near the lobby. Check in was easy too. Owner was quick to response to my questions and requests. The kettle was malfunctioned and they give us another the next day despite it’s a weekend. My boy had so much fun at the playground and swimming pool. Will come again if there’s a chance.FromUS$45

Location is great as near to town. Only inconvenience is when you need to go to town, you need to drive further down to make a U-turn. The floor inside the unit is dusty. I really don't feel comfortable walking on it. Should put up notes in the unit that housekeeping is not available for those staying 2 nights or more unless we make special request. So that we can ask for drinking water or toilet rolls on our way back to the unit.
The swimming pool, guard should enforce stricter rules that only swimming suits are allowed in the pool. T-shirts (even for parents) should not be allowed at all in the pool.FromUS$27

The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. Since it is a new building, some floors are still under renovation.
This was my first experience having a blackout while showering at night. I tried to contact the agency, but there were no staff available, so the only solution offered was a room change. We had to spend extra time moving all our belongings to another floor.
One suggestion is to consider waiving the deposit requirement, or for the agent to contact guests one day before check-in to reconfirm the booking and deposit payment. I had already submitted my deposit before check-in, but the agency may have missed my message. I only received the entry QR code after being stopped and questioned by the security guard, which made the experience stressful.FromUS$28
