"The location is very close to Ipoh Old Town, within walking distance. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs which is very convenient for buying things. The hotel stated that Chinese speakers were welcome, but I didn't encounter anyone from the front desk to housekeeping who spoke Mandarin. If you don't speak any English, I'd advise caution before choosing this hotel. The hotel entrance is on a main road, which isn't very pedestrian-friendly, but that's how it is everywhere in Malaysia, constantly crossing roads. Breakfast was just okay; I reckon most people won't be used to it, but they did have common items like fruit, cereal, and bread. The facilities list mentioned a laundry room, but there wasn't one. If it's not available, it shouldn't be advertised. However, the staff in the lobby, including the front desk, security, and housekeeping, were all very nice and friendly, which was good. It's just a standard budget hotel, and the cleanliness is acceptable. If you don't expect too much, it's a decent place to stay."
