Comfort of the city with easy access to places of interest”

My second hotel in Ipoh after 2 days staying at Station 18 vicinity, but turn out to be the best choice. Extended stay due to wanting to avoid a Sunday traffic jam at both causeways into Singapore. Located next to the Kinta river with a nice jogging track, and riverfront night bazaar 5 mins away, historical trails 10 mins away, and the unique & historical Panglima Kinta mosque across the street, the hotel checked all the right boxes for me. After checking out, able to leave my luggage at reception for 6 pm pick up; enough time to visit Qin Xing Ling Leisure& Cultural Village, Tasik Cermin and Kek Look Tong Cave Temple. Thumbs up Abby Hotel .
