The hotel has a great location in the heart of Ipoh, making it easy to explore nearby restaurants and shops. I found the rooms surprisingly spacious, but the air conditioning could use improvement. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which added to the overall positive experience. However, a hair dryer would have been a nice touch, and charging multiple devices at once was a bit challenging.
