Where to stay in Perak State
Perak State hotels & accommodations
This is our 3rd time stay in their Studio room since last December 2014. Previously was booked through directly from Hotel, but this time round the hotel rate slightly higher than Agoda (the staff told maybe because of GST). My family members are very satisfy with Weil hotel. We stayed with them when they are rated 3 star till 4 star currently. I think they should rat...
Their staff are truly the stars of the resort. We have stayed at many places in Malaysia for our travels and this is by far the best for us. Love the sincere warmth of the folks at the Banjaran who often go the extra mile (within reasonable means of course) to make our stay very welcoming and comfortable even when we never expect it. We also love the greenery and natur...
I've read some of the bad reviews before booking therefore when I arrived at the hotel it was with a feeling of trepidation. I was afraid that the apartment would be full of stale air, no room keys,not enough food at breakfast etc. However everything was good, the apartment was spacious, clean, just like a 5 stars hotel room should be. It seems that the hotel takes t...
The renovated pool and the seaview room is the key point!! love it so much! pool suitable for for all ages esp. kids and babies. parents also easy to monitor with ample seating with umbrella. parents ablek to enjoy the infinity pool since not too deep. seriously much much better than hard rock penang pool. here the pool very clean and no sand..love it. The seaview are ...
Our 4 nights stay at the hotel were really worth it. Everyday staffs never miss to ask us whether we want the room to be cleaned. All staffs including guards were with smile, polite and friendly. Although the hotel did not serve breakfast, no need to worry as there are malay restaurants nearby to choose from. There is also self service laundry and clinic at the area. H...
Overall, we had a comfortable one-night stay. The bathroom and sleeping areas were more spacious than the normal room at that price. The porter went out of his way to help with our luggage. The hotel was surprisingly very close to the Perak Islamic Religious office where we were heading & not difficult to find, for people who are not at all familiar with Ipoh city traf...
Room are clean and very comfortable. Only problem are the toilet drain stuck and its smells awful..hope they fixed it asap. The other things that amazed me are the breakfast buffet ! There are many choice of breakfast that you can eat, nasi lemak, nasi kuning, ayam rendang, English breakfast, pancake, curry mee, chicken rice and much more... i was like.... WOW... how ...
Although it just a short trip to Lumut, Perak. We have great experience with the hotel. Yup, they have a friendly staf who always smile and pamper our needs. I never thought the room would be spacious (the should hire a good photographer to show what their offer is better than a picture in their website). This hotel also offer a 24hrs food services which I think very ...

Dated of stayed : 31.10.2017 to 03.11. 2017 (4 days and 3 nights) Classical Double Room No. 105 This is my second time here, the first from July 19, 2017 to July 21, 2017 Easy to get a shuttle transfer. I have booked a Classic double room and once confirmed, I will email it to lwhreservation@sunway.com.my (excluding public holidays and schools closed on Tuesdays), shut...
I was surprised when I arrived at the hotel, the hotel is quite nice & huge & I love the decor & the antique car outside. The room was huge & has a classic look. They have a huge swimming pool outside. The Indian receptionist who greeted at that time was super friendly, well done & we were given free complimentary drinks & even breakfast. The part that I really loved. ...
First things first, this is at best a three star resort overall. However due to the location and price, it easily made it the right choice for us. The resort is probably the newest on the island (but judging by the work going on all around, won't be for long) and this shows in the rooms, dining and particularly the pool area. The latter is excellent. Open 10-10 daily...
Walking distance to ipoh old town, clean and nice basic room. Parking a bit challenging as the parking space is limited . The best part , polite but yet friendly multi racial reception staff, demonstrate the diversity snd the best of people of Perak .

We had our last minute trip to Simpang Pulai, and the nearest decent hotel is here. Around 5km from Sg. Pulai Exit. I booked within 1/2 hour bfore arrival. We had a minor prob during checking in as the front desk stated that the booking made thru agoda are not entitled with bfast, but during booking I was very sure it is included. So that takes like 20 mins for them t...
Stayed only for one night but very staisfied. Booked 2 rooms with interconnecting door. Mainly due to room size which size is quite generous, each bathroom got bathtub and best location to explore Ipoh city. Also we got complimentary parking at lower floors. Tried the swimming pool and quite like it, not too big or too deep. Bfast is also not bad and hotel staffs wer...
Check in time stated 3pm instead of 2pm as per internet. Anyway, we managed to check in around 2.15pm. We booked a 3 bed-room villa, thought is a 2 or 3 storey villa but turned out to be a huge house with a jazucci pool in the centre. Surprisingly nice!! The staff did come and change the pool water upon request, almost twice a day. Kitchen come with plates, cups, s...

I was not expecting much from this hotel for the price paid. However I was pleasantly surprised the moment I stepped into the hotel. I experienced good customer service at the front desk (kudos!) and the room was new with modern design. It was a comfortable stay. Although the complimentary breakfast spread could be further improved, it was decent if you consider the re...
Everything was good considering the budget, the Deluxe room was quite big and comfy. All basic necessities are provided. Would be nice if the tv channels could include more Astro channels (there is only Astro Awana which caters to Malay audiences only). The breakfast buffet has quite a variety and among the best I've had (again, considering the budget. RM300+/night hot...
Several basic info regarding services provide in the resort are not available in room such kitchen or room service number. The receptionist said there are no vacant room left even though when i checked online, there are stil vacant room and she did not allowed me to pick up room which has the lake view even those rooms are vacant. There are also no restaurant or convni...
This may be a smallish 3-star hotel (without a swimming pool, gym & other facilities normally associated with higher end hotels & resorts), but it is definitely new (established in 2011) and clean. My family and I made a recent trip to Ipoh and had a good 2 night-stay at MH. Pleasantly surprised. We got the Family Room for RM350 per nite (RM390 for weekends and peak). ...
I feel good staying at this hotel because... 1) room is new, modern and clean. 2) basic toilotries provided such as toothbrush,toothpaste,shower cap,sanitary bag, shampoo and shower gel 3) staff was very friendly and helpful. i need panadol, plaster and sewing kit. wanted to puchase from the convenice store beside but it close due to system down. so i ask the fronk de...
Actually this hotel was recommended by my friends whose always staycation here. We booked a Superior Twin Room which is suitable for 2 Adults & 2 Kids. Hotel room is equipped with basic facilities- Internet, Dryer, Muslim Prayer Mat, Ironing Board, Iron, Small Fridge, TV (limited channels) ...... The hotel has a mini library & a convenience store at the lobby. The hot...
We had the most amazing time staying at M-boutique. The hotel was elegantly designed and the Christmas decor definitely put is in the mood for the yuletide season. Here's a summary of our stay: My husband and I arrived in the evening and were greeted by friendly staff (staff rating: 10/10). Opening the door to our room, our first impression was - amazing! (room cleanli...
When my friends and I first arrived at Seemsoon Hotel, we were able to spot it from a distance due to its prominent signboard. A hotel suited for the needs of travellers who are willing to pay just a little more than a budget hotel, travellers can expect to pay roughly about 35 USD per pax per night. Cleanliness is not a major issue during our stay in the hotel, but tr...
we booked a chalet for 3 nights and 2 days via agoda. the place was easy to find and registration very straightforward. the staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating. every little request was attended to promptly and with a smile. the owner raja was always on site and ever willing to assist with any query/difficulty. the place exuded hospitality and warmth, ...
Our stay was very comfortable. The hotel's location is excellent, very near to Ipoh Parade Shopping Mall, which is Ipoh's best shopping centre, as mentioned in websites. it is also near to famous places in Ipoh, by car. Journey to the furthest Lost World or Perak Cave is less than 30 minutes drive away.
We truly love our hotels room but the first time we step in the room it smells. We had to spray the room with car perfume because there was no convenient store near the area. We were worried that we cannot go to Orang Utan's Island as the lake water was shallow. Hopefully there would be rain soon to fill up the lake or the management will need to do something about ...
Upon arrival at the hotel, the lobby was beautifully decorated for the Chinese new year. We also noticed a board stating that the hotel was officially opened on the 1st of Jan 2012, which meant that the hotel was only a few months old. The environment was bright and welcoming, however the staff was a slight disappointment. They were barely proficient in English, which ...
A nice hotel and a good stopover between Ipoh and going up north. It faces the Perak hills and the green view is refreshing as compared to high rise buildings.
Cheap places to stay in Perak State
I've booked a couple of nights here and I've ended up to stay one week. Ipoh it's a nice place to explore and the hostel, even if it's not in the center, it's easy to reach with bus (n°117). The staff is amazing helpful and friendly, one of the best hostel in Asia!
I had to change my place of stay since the bus to Ipoh got delayed for several hours and I ended up arriving in Ipoh at 2.00 am instead 11 pm/12 am. I have called them before the first time the bus was rescheduled, informing that I will be arriving at midnight. Unfortunately, the bus got delayed further and I decided to crash in other hotel/hostel nearby the bus termi...
I really love the concept of this hostel, cozy and warm like you are visiting a friend's house, also you can see that they do care about customer experience , put lot of efforts from small things like the kitchen with complete cookware, utensils even spices, sauces and so on. It's so far the best hostel I had ever stayed. Location are close to lot of great food. Howeve...
Ken, the owner gave me a warm welcome. Throughout my stay he always was truly friendly and especially helpful with hints, what to see and do in Taiping. His property Sojourn was spotless clean and verily lovely, it has great charm and is lovely furbished. I stayed in a pod dorm bed for three nights and had a refreshing and comfortable sleep; unique to be provided with ...
I stayed for two nights. I was able to spend comfortably because clean and quiet. In addition, there is water server for free. The location is good because there is some famous restaurant near the hotel. There is one thing I'd like to worry about. It is equipment management. for example, the toilet paper was not replenished during my stay. In short, they are no...
Location near Ipoh town center. Walking distance to restaurants, Mydin hypermarket, 7-eleven & bus terminal. Excellent room for a budget hotel. Big screen and clear screen tv with satellite channels, good water pressure, working water heater, shampoo and bath soap, bright room lighting, comfortable bed, 4 pillows, cool and quiet air-condition unit, free 2 water bottles...
We chosed to stay at the Pangkor Guesthouse so we could experience the life in the local fishing village. It was a fantastic decision because over at the touristy beach areas, once the sun goes down, there really wasn't much happening unless you're at the hotel bar or something. The location of the guesthouse was central to many local food stalls that were super chea...
1. Cleanliness. The toilet was well maintained, beds were served with clean bed sheets and floor was well swept. 2. Quietness. As it is located far from the busy streets, it's extremely peaceful and quiet at night. We had very good sleep for our 2-night stay. 3. Food Centres. Variety of local food around this area. Good taste and value for money. 4. Car parkin...
During my 3 days and 2night stay here. My family and I was really comfort. The family room was spacious. The location was quiet and suitable for family with younger children. They don't provide breakfast but if u have vehicles its not much trouble. There are plenty of warung and restaurant where you can find foods. It was located between sitiawan and lumut. If u have b...
Kalau ada sewaan pancing lagi best sbb sungai perak seberang jalan je.Sungai yg ada pelbagai jenis ikan seperti tenggalan,patin dll.Udang galah pun ada.
close to maps perak. the location very close to mydin mall. very easy to find food. only walking distance to terminal amnajaya
The price is extremely cheap and very worth to stay. No elevator in the hotel. You need to walk staircase to your room. Room is clean, bed is super cozy (soft mattress & soft blanket), sound insulation quite ok (acceptable noise level) unless people at the next door play music in extremely high volume! But still, when blanket covers softly on one side of your ear, you...
Retro building and facilities with simple yet satisfactory, old school service. Location is nearby town. Do checkout the tasty local char kuey teow and sotong kangkung stalls just opposite the hotel.
Small but clean.. 4 stars for a budget hotel like this.. Very clean and nice interior.. Only one thing, there's no sound proof at all.. You might be awake by other customer that bang their door in the middle of the night, or baby cried in the middle of the night
Stay for one night only.nearby with restaurants.just quite shocked - 2 cockroach when checked in.maybe came from outside coz there's a lil gap at the room door.need to cover the gap with 'towels'😅budget hotel but enough space to perform solah.aircond all good condition.others, worth with every penny
great location, convenient and best budget hotel ever.. satisfied!
Pros - Strategic location (nearby Lumut & all attraction places) + got mamak just a few steps away, spacious room and clean, good facilities (have lift & pool), dedicated parking at the back of the hotel, water heater, aircond was cold, staff was friendly, my room got window, got small shop downstairs to buy toiletries or junk food. Cons - not sound proof, one of my...
For the second time, we booked the same Superior Family room. And the room is really comfortable, with two queen size beds that can actually fit four people per bed. The room is very clean, so is the toilet. The only downside is that the next door shop lot was doing a renovation and it was extremely noisy although it only lasted till the evening, but still you wake up ...
it was a good experience and the hotel staff also friendly.
I would totally recommend anyone who plans to visit Sitiawan to stay in CT Hotel. Good things about CT Hotel: 1. Price was very reasonable - RM59.40 including tax 2. Cleanliness was perfect - I have no complain 3. Comfort - Bedsheets did not have funky smell, air-conditioning and heater was working well, towels provided 4. Staff were helpful - I asked for iron and ir...
My room has no window but it is well vented via toilet fan. Air-con is super cold (had to dial down to 25C and fan at low) and bedding is very clean. Traditional small cake soap supplied (no bottled liquid soap, no shampoo) For a 4 persons room, well worth the money.
I arrived at the hotel around 230 am in the morning after making last minute booking and there was no one waited for me at the reception. I made calls to the number provided in the booking voucher twice and the staff came down with sleepy face. The best thing was, he had given me great service despite his sleep was disturbed. This was my very first time staying at the ...
If you're planning to book a cheap hotel for a short stay then I highly recommended this one. The rooms are small but it's nice and clean. You have the option to book a room without toilet which is cheaper. They have a lot of shared bathrooms outside the room with hot water and soap provided but if you want a room with toilet they also have. It's also near the city cen...
Ok, the hotel might not be like other new boutique hotel, but I remembered it has been there since I was young. It was a great experience staying here, room was great, aircond was cold, tv not many selection, but only stayed to sleep, it was super comfortable. Oh the bed and pillow was amazing - not your typical cheap hotel kind. Staff was amazing, stayed for 3 nights,...
Well i stay at this hotel 3 nights for business trip, and for solo travelling it is quite good. Clean room and friendly staff, it just that you don't have much choice on the cable TV channels. Wifi provided, quite fast and it is advisable if you could bring along your own cable extension (the room i stayed has power socket way far from my bed, even a laptop charger cou...
Nice decoration hotel. Its suitable for solo and family. U pay cheap but u get like a 4 star hotel. Only the pillow its too soft but it doesnt matter because i alwasy bring my own pillow. The area also quiet but got 3,4 bar behind hotel
This is my third time stay at this hotel. If you are a solo traveller and a very private person, looking for a room for stay for 1 person, do look out for this hotel. The price is very affordable, and make sure booked from Agoda. The price is similiar to sharing @ dorm room. The place is quite easy to find. Only that it is far from Ipoh Town. About 20-30 mins to reach ...
We arrived at 12 noon and left the hotel the next day at 7 morning, both check-in and out was fast. We booked two deluxe rooms for our stay and the rooms were considered clean. However one of the room smell of cigarette; while, toilet wall of the other room was slightly stained with mold. Other than these the rooms were in great condition. Despite our rooms were locate...
Was looking for a getaway for a couple of days and needed a base from which to explore nearby Sitiawan. Opted for Lumut for the simple reason I've never stayed there. Found a great offer on Agoda and made a booking for one night and eventually added a second night. The hotel is not actually in town: it's about 1.5 km away which is nothing by car. In a row of 2 or 3 oth...
Things I loved - Environment is very nice, right next to a mountain and contains a lake - Cheap - Away from city hustle - Very clean - Sheets and beds are soft and comfortable - You can park right in front of your room - Flexible check-in time (Called the owner to ask to check in at 10PM, arrived 50 mins late, checked in smoothly) Things that can be improved - Soundpr...

It was super peak when we checked in last weekend and they were overbooked.

We booked 3 Villas...and the hotel was kind enough to let me have the 7A villas, which offer the best view. You can cook and the space is excellent for big groups. The swimming pools at the apartments are in great condition with a lot of activities and facilities offered at the recreation centre there (cycling, fishing, karaoke-ing etc). Those who complain about the fl...
Amazing place, amazing staff, great food, wonderful atmosphere, very clean & peaceful place... All this for a fraction of what other 5 stars hotels are charging! This is by far the best place we've stayed from the many places we've travelled to. We are already looking at suitable dates to come back again!
Hotel location is convenient. Easy to find car park and is free parking. Great place for family and group gathering with clean beds and all basic necessities. Communication and check in process need improvement. The apts we booked were apparently owned by private owner and not by Riverfront Hotel & Suite so we can’t check in at the hotel reception. It was unclear to u...

In addition, they have special lounge at Level 12 for all level...

Staff is very friendly and amicable. I would definitely come back t...
Being a non-smoking person but encountered heavy smoker staying next adjacent door. Smoke went through the door. My room stated NO SMOKING but i believe other room should be the same. The staff are good as request us to change room. Encountered RAT sound on the roof running around with heavy rat sneezing sound.
Friendly staff and Management. Can fulfill my request whatever they can.

* Good value for money * nice environment * clean and neat house * easy to deal with owner
Nice clean flat with good facilities within walking distance of the town centre. Pool and gym were perfectly nice. No channels on the TV. Would stay again!
Short 1 night stay but had great stay. New unit, well equipped with toilletries, hot water , ASTRO. Comfy room just like home. Adeline a good host too.
The unit is in good condition, mostly awesome. The double Decker bed need to improve, the top level of the bed gave me a backache. Should change the mattress as I can feel the metal bar and it's so painful to sleep on it.
this homestay house very suitable to big members of family coz got 4 rooms and 3 toilets with complete body and hair shampo include towels every bathroom. near to restaurants and other smartshops.
1. Room 2 air cond is not functioning well 2. Bath 2 is flooded when we bath 3. towels provided low quality 4. floors are sticky 5. will not book again in future

location quite inside, near UTAR too , need to drive to have dinner.
The room is clean and staff at reception is friendly. It just that on the booking it states that the room has shower and bathtub but nope, no bathtub. The bed is kinda hard not soft at all. Overall, it just okay.
Luxury hotels in Perak State
It's very convenient to go others popular location in ipoh perak,and it's just beside ipoh parade shopping Mall walk 1/2minute to shop and having food there. Love their breakfast, the swimming pool and the beautiful garden on the rooftop!
Their staff are truly the stars of the resort. We have stayed at many places in Malaysia for our travels and this is by far the best for us. Love the sincere warmth of the folks at the Banjaran who often go the extra mile (within reasonable means of course) to make our stay very welcoming and comfortable even when we never expect it. We also love the greenery and natur...
Excellent place to stay. Good security. Excellent customer service from all the staffs. Good food. Good breakfast. Good view. Overall, very happy with the stay and will go back to this place if i go to perak again.

The hotel is neither too big that you feel detached nor too small. We were quite surprised with our room, it is beautiful with modern decoration. The bed is spacious and there is even a sofa when we just booked the most basic room. The hotel is also very thoughtful by providing iron in each room, umbrellas everywhere, using a proper jug rather than simply providing bot...
The house is awesome, the location to popular eating place is nearby and the host is very helpful.. Wish to stay here again when coming to ipoh city
Neat and spacious. Towels provided. The master bedroom’s bathroom is clean but there’s uncomfortable smell. Smell of vomiting or something. Wifi provided but the reception is not that strong. Overall i’m satisfied.
The bird's eye view of the surrounding hill was perfect as was the adventure activities with it's undisturbed natural jungle trekking with 3 hour cave walk was impeccable! The location is outstanding- near to the water park and extreme sport park, all hotel staff was naturally courteous and friendly
Excellent concept for an accommodation. Love the projectors and Chromecast. Definitely will book again. Recommended for families with young children.
Nice place to stay . Very new , clean , comfortable room, love the room design !!! We arrived at night , couldn’t see the hotel signboard. can hear people walking outside when silent night, sound proving can be more better . Overall satisfied
10 of us stayed in this house...the house was very nice,safe,clean and well decorated....overall was very good and worth for money...
Good interior design
Located at Ipoh Town. Walking distance to Gerbang Malam and Yong Soon Nasi Ganja and most of the Ipoh highlights. Can accommodate up to 10 peoples. Clean environment and beautiful sky deck.
Value for money and good location. Should post Crytal Creek resort as there is another J Homestay in Taiping.
Good
The room is exactly same with photo shown in Agoda posted by owner. The room is clean. However, the aircond is only 1.0l and the space of room is quite large. So if u just stay there and check in by evening or night then this place is definitely a good choice to stay.
Hotel is clean n comfortable, just like what the picture advertised. Location wise is convenient considering close to Aeon n lots of shops around. I'm travel by car so no problem for me. Amber parking infront Hotel but need to pay using ticket n well lit at night. There's a pub downstairs. However my room is facing back so no loud music heard from my room. Generally my...
