Very Nice and Helpful Staff and Hearth Warming Hotel”
This journey with my parents for medical review. During our arrival and check in at counter, the staff noticed my father is unable to walk for long distance, so they suggested to offer a wheelchair for my father. This hotel staff very health warming. A highly recommended hotel.
Meanwhile, the hotel location also nearby the open market and walking distance to shopping mall.

Comfortable stay in the city”
The room was smaller than the cititel express I stayed in Ipoh. It was just a short stay, and it was comfortable enough. In the middle of the city, walkable distance to nearby attractions (filipino market). Parking ample. Don't forget to try Borenos fried chicken, a local fast food chain restaurant in front of the hotel
