Good hotel in Ipoh

Good hotel in Ipoh

Guys, anyone know a good hotel in Iphod. Checked out both Asiarooms
and Tripadvisor and the four main there sucked bad.

I was thinking about the Casurina at one stage then I thought better
of it.

Might be heading there at the end of the year.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Ka.

Re: Good hotel in Ipoh

Thank you, George - so sharp!

The OP??? Doubt it!

I knew what the OP meant. BUT! I am chronically so annoyed by ignorant
posters who are discourteous in the extreme, in that they NEVER proof read
their garbage!

My personal recommendation - The Majestic Station Hotel!

Plenty of parking. The ride up to the accommodation in the ancient lift is
worth the price alone! BUT - do NOT eat there!!

Brilliant old, wide verandah, colonial fans and all.

Do, however steer clear of the 'standard rooms' immediately above the
platform.

George - I answered only because of you, whose posts I respect and enjoy!!

An aside!! I like Ipoh; but it's not an easy city to move around without
wheels. Rent a car!

Guys, thanks for the replies but I need something a little bit more
useful.
I'm planning to go there to my wife granny, she's just out of
hospital.
So please, keep the posts useful.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Ka.

Bud this is the sort of stuff I need.
If you hear something, I'd appreciate it.
I saw two on Tripadvisor that looked okay Indulgence and Regalodge
(might need to check the name of the second one), but I'd like a bit
more info.

From the reviews I'm reading about the main four, they suck.

Thanks again mate,

Ka.

There's not much in the way of real inquiries on r.t.a unfortunately
these days, thanks to the spammers. (Olympic homestays, what a joke!)

So it's good to get a real one, however poorly phrased (and how
ungrateful the OP might turn out to be!)

On this topic, I'm constantly disappointed by Malaysian hotels. The
Heritage Station Hotel in KL is a mess, full of noisy backpackers,
while the alternatives seem to be sterile upmarket business hotels.

I'll keep an eye out for recommendations for hotels with character as
I'd like to see more of the country while I'm in this region, like
Penang, Camerons and Sabah/Sarawak.

I will. Honestly, I'm too worried about the dollars however at the
same time, I'm not game to spend top dollars on a crap hotel.

This is good. I'll give Grand view a look.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Cool. Which one did you stay at?
We were at the Mandarin Oriental in KL and we were very impressed.
So if there's one like that of the same standard there, I'm game.

Thanks Nick.

Take care,

Re: Good hotel in Ipoh

i've stayed at millenium hotel (former Regent Hotel) and New world
hotel (adjoining Renaissance) both in KL

i requested for extra towels at new world, they brought it with sweets
and flowers on the towels

one of my favourite hotels to stay in this world is Holiday Villa
subang jaya (KL Suburb). soooooooo serene, has so much character!

though not in same league as mandarin hotel ! generally malaysia's 5
star hotel customer service are superior
