2-Star Hotels in Ipoh

"Cleanliness was below expectations as the bedsheets had stains. The location is good and convenient, close to the city area. Service was acceptable, but it was inconvenient that the hairdryer was not prepared in the room and had to be collected from the front desk. Amenities were decent with basic facilities provided, but it would be better if a refrigerator was included, in pantry also can but no. Overall, an average stay."

"Room was functional and clean and had the basics you would want. Location was good and was within walking distance to the nearby popular restaurants and night market. Only downside is that it's beside a few funeral parlours but they aren't noisy. The hotel has 2 carparks with about 15 lots each which are free for hotel guests."

"My cases Abit different..when I checked in , the reception said my booking for deluxe twin already finished, she asked me to move to their another hotel , highway times inn hotel, the standard might be lower than the ipoh inn...Bad experience...the pillow looks old..."

"Since it's a self-service hotel, I didn't expect any facilities. The room was small but clean. However, the bathroom didn't have a wet/dry separation, which was inconvenient after showering, as the toilet paper would get wet. So, you can't keep the toilet paper in the bathroom. The only good thing is that there's a restaurant nearby that's open until midnight for food and drinks."

"The hotel is suitable for a short trip and the price is reasonable. The reception service was okay. There is a lift, so it is easy to bring luggage to the room. The room still uses an old key, and a card is needed to activate the electricity. The bed was okay. They provide 2-in-1 shampoo and 4 bottles of mineral water, and there is also a water refill station outside. However, there is no kettle or bottle for boiling water, and no toiletries are provided except shampoo. Overall, it is a simple and affordable hotel for a short stay."

"I liked this hotel. There is daily cleaning ( which is unusual for budget friendly hotels in Malaysia), water, tea and coffee were refilled every day ( but upon check in I found only sugar and coffee creamer without tea or coffee). There is a kettle and a mini fridge. An iron and ironing board were provided on request. I like that the shower is separated by a glass partition, so the floor doesn't get wet, a hair dryer and toiletries are provided. There is a safe. My room was big but standard rooms are not big, Soundproofing can be improved, I could hear every sound from the corridor. There was a bit of chemical smell in the corridor. There is a 7/11 next door, KFC and Pizza Hut on the opposite side of the road, the central market is nearby. The main landmarks are about 10-15 minutes walk."

"The hotel is super convenient, with lots of great food options nearby. It's also really close to Concubine Lane, Second Concubine Lane, and Third Concubine Lane. However, the air conditioning was a bit slow and not very strong. They only provide large towels, no small ones. On the plus side, the room was very clean, and it's definitely worth staying here again."

"Tourist attractions area.Many eateries near the hostel. Friendly staff willing to help , even walk with me to show the nearest route to Ipoh Railway station."

"I have to be honest, this hostel is one of the best that you can find with this modest price, but excellent services. First enter, the counter was having a good chat with a chinese, teen girl who traveled alone in Malaysia. The counter, who is a girl immediately served me as I wanted to place my luggage here before exploring Ipoh . When i check in, around 2pm, (yeah i can check in before 3pm, this is a life saver), an uncle, who served me with care and gave me a tour with their amenities. The amenities were amazing. You can play guitar if you do as they provided at the resting area. You can have a relaxing, comforting hot bath with shampoo and body wash provided. The pillows and bed were cozy... The only thing i am unsatisfied is the attitude of the chinese traveler who sleeps beside me. I can hesr his whispers, saying rude words in chinese (maybe he is having a bad time in Ipoh i guess). The rest, is awesome. If you are looking for a cozy place to stay with home's warmth and modest price, Miner's house is for you."

"Room 211. The parking in front of the hotel for cars and motorcycles is well-lit. I hope the basement parking's lighting can be upgraded to LEDs; it's currently quite dark and doesn't feel safe for solo women, especially when returning late at night, as there are many Bangladeshi workers around. The front desk feels more like an old-style guesthouse counter, with no proper lobby. Staff are okay. There's a RM50 deposit per room, but no record is kept; it's essentially a 'barter' system where you exchange the deposit for the TV and air-conditioner remotes. The lift works well for accessing the second and third floors. The hotel has been newly renovated and repainted, both exterior and interior. The walls and rooms are clean and freshly painted, the floors are clean, and there's hot and cold Coway filtered water available. An ironing board is provided outside the room. Inside the room, the pillows, mattress, sheets, sofa, and wardrobe are all new. The room itself is freshly painted, clean, and feels fresh. The floor is clean. The bathroom is also new and clean, with only slight signs of age on the wall tiles. There's a view of houses and a small hill. The hotel is located within 1-3 km of Ipoh city center. Being in a residential area, there are no eateries or convenience stores nearby. So, you'll need to order Foodpanda for food and Grab for transport, though it's only a 5-minute ride to town. The Panasonic air-conditioner, despite being new, cools very slowly; it took almost 3 hours to cool even half the room. I hope this can be fixed. I'm not sure if all rooms experience the same issue. The room is comfortable to stay in, though it's not soundproof. However, it's comfortable for sleeping. The hot water for showering is good. Excellent pest control. The door lock uses a sturdy access card. The TV channels are terrible and fuzzy; I hope they can install MyTV. Overall, the room is completely new, but I hope they fix the slow air-conditioning, improve the TV channels with MyTV, and upgrade the parking lights to LEDs. The front desk staff at Hotel Pinji should be more cheerful. I'm not sure if the Wi-Fi works well, but there is a password provided. If these issues are addressed, Hotel Pinji would undoubtedly be Ipoh's best budget hotel for various groups: bus tours, students, wedding guests, families visiting university/college/school students (especially when dorms are full), out-of-town workers, businessmen, local and international tourists, and bikers. Gym access costs RM6 for hotel guests. The room price is reasonable."
