A fuir
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Pas de réception, on doit récupérer la clé à la caisse du restaurant au dessous. Le personnel n'est pas accueillant, quand vous leur posez des questions ils vous répondent par des sons inaudibles, on s'est aperçu qu'ils ne comprenaient pas l anglais. Il n'y a pas d ascenseur et dans la chambre il n'y a ni bouilloire, ni frigo, juste le strict minimum.
Impossible d ouvrir la porte de la salle d'eau correctement bloquée par le lavobo. La lumière passe au dessus et au dessous de la porte de la chambre. Ils ne font les chambres qu'à partir de 16h.
Le pire de la moisissure derrière les coussins de la tête de lit. Nous avons du quitter la chambre après la deuxième nuit mon mari étant asthmatique. Chez contacté via Booking un responsable de l'hôtel, seul moyen de les joindre, afin de leur dire que s'était inadmissible de louer des chambres pouvant nuire à la santé des clients et leur demander le remboursement de notre troisième nuits, après avoir attendu plusieurs jours, je n'ai eu aucune réponse.

Comfortable and quiet buget room
Pros:

We got the exact same room as in the pictures. Perfectly clean. Very comfortable. Window in the room giving on a quiet side street, so very calm during day and night. Check-in is easy. The staff is reactive through whatsapp. Hot water in the shower (all looks brand new). The AC is efficient and silent. We were provided 2 small bottles of water per day.

Cons:

It would be better if there was a water provider in the corridor for all the guests to use freely, rather than giving a few small bottles, it is not enough, and it makes a lot of plastic waste.

Value for money but will not recommend
Pros:

Location is near Ipoh old town, about 15-20mins walk to Concubine Lane
Had heater, dryer, towels

Cons:

"Receptionist" inside the restaurant didn't speak English. It felt like it was an inconvenience to check in. Also didn't explain how the security key on the main gate worked, please don't assume we all knew how it worked. Had to wait for the next guest to show me coz the receptionist was nowhere to be found then and at that point it was exhausting to talk to him coz we didn't understand each other
Stains on the bed
Lights going on and off twice during my stay

Pros:

Good value for money. Clean. Spacious room.

Cons:

It is not really an hotel. There is no reception and the staff can only be contacted by WhatsApp or Booking messenger. Not close to the center (but Grab is not expensive).

Pros:

Das Zimmer war groß und wirkte mehr wie ein kleines Appartment, da es einen großen Vorraum hatte. Das Bad war echt gut und das Schlafzimmer auch schwer in Ordnung. Die Lage war ganz gut, in die Innenstadt musste man ein bisschen gehen, aber war alles zu Fuß gut machbar.

Cons:

Es gibt im Grunde nichts zu beanstanden. Ein Wasserkocher wäre noch nett gewesen, um sich Tee zu machen und der TV war leider sehr ungünstig angebracht, so dass wir ihn nicht verwenden konnten. War aber natürlich kein großes Problem.

Bon dans l’ensemble !
Pros:

La chambre était spacieuse, le restaurant en dessous était bon et pas cher et l’emplacement était très bon !

Cons:

Nous avions une chambre qui menait directement sur la route et il y avait énormément de bruit malheureusement… Je pense que les autres visiteurs étaient moins embêtés par cela !
