a great stay at Meru suites. huge rooms, friendly staff that will go the extra mile for a service for customers. great team, clean rooms as well. Quiet at night making it a wonderful stay. Only downside is the location as it is situated a 15mins drive away from town, but for such a wonderful stay I would not mind to come back here again.

The hotel located at the busy road area but the moment you enter the hotel it feels like you're entering the whole new world. The chill ambient, cozy and warm atmosphere occupied the whole parameters. Staff are superb especially the front desk - Kaushilliya. The room offers generous amount of amenities and you won't miss out the excitement. The cons i noticed is just that the gym were close. Kudos to the hotel management and surely will back here on the very next trip to Ipoh.

Basically the hotel is ok in term of location and service. If they can improve below 2 items then it is even better. a. Breakfast choice. Maybe i stay at monday but its choice is really limited. b. Swimming Pool. If the close time can be extend to 10pm instead of 7pm then it is good.

The room was clean, the location was good, and the service was fine. However, the front desk gave me a room facing the main road, and the soundproofing of the windows was terrible. It felt like I was sleeping by the roadside all night, listening to motorcycles and cars speeding by. I didn't get any good rest at all. If you have a choice, definitely pick a room that doesn't face the main road, otherwise, forget about getting any sleep at night.

Hotel exterior and rooms seems to have some update. Room is quite clean, shower water pressure is good, staff is friendly. Only issue I had was there seems to be some hair oil smell on the pillows, I used a disposable face tower to lay over it to minimize the smell, just a 1 night stay so didn't make a fuss abt it.

We were accommodated in a refurbished room which was nice and clean. It’s located at a Din Sum eateries area with about 4 of 5 old time names like Ming court. Famous Cowan Tauge Chicken Rice restaurant is just round the corner. The breakfast buffet were somewhat limited in choice and wasn’t impressive. Overall we had an enjoyable stay.

You can have a good breakfast there to start the day. Hotel staff were nice and always smiling. Stayed in the hotel in December 2025.

Everything about the service was great, the staff were really friendly and always greeted us. The parking garage is underground, with attendants directing traffic. It seemed to be one of those lift parking systems, with all cars parked on the ground level. The hotel's facilities and amenities met budget hotel standards, making for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, close to all the attractions. We basically walked to Ipoh Railway Station, Concubine Lane, and Han Chin Pet Soo Museum – it was very easy.

The room is clean. The service is good. Foor is ok. Not too many variety but it's enough for my family. Just one matter - I extended my stay by one night. So, I book another night from Trip.com but there is no functionality to extend my stay and so I did a new booking for 1 night for two rooms for my family. I was asked to pay the same amount of local tax again. Maybe the hotel can look into this and help customer to avoid this local tax in the event we extend our stay or probably the local tax should be lower for one day extension?

Good Budget Stay in Ipoh After a long drive, I chose Ritz Garden Hotel Ipoh for a short rest. The hotel is centrally located near Ipoh city and heritage attractions. Early morning check-in was smooth, and the staff were helpful in guiding parking at the back of the building. The lobby looks nice, and free parking is provided via an internal sky bridge. The room was clean with no unpleasant smell. Although there was no window and soundproofing was average, the lighting, air conditioning, and bed were comfortable enough for a good rest. The bathroom was clean with good hot water pressure. Heated water and drinking water were provided for coffee, along with complete basic toiletries. The hotel does not offer breakfast, but facilities like a swimming pool and gym are available. Karaoke facilities did not disturb the stay. Overall, a good value-for-money option for budget travelers or short stays in Ipoh.

A new hotel, however, there is no dedicated indoor parking. Very limited dedicated outdoor parking lots in front of the building. You have to park freely around the building. There are 2 government buildings on the left and right of the hotel. So you can imagine how difficult it is to find a free parking space.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles that immediately made me feel welcome. The room was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. Every detail — from the cozy bed to the well-maintained amenities — reflected thoughtful planning and a high standard of service. The ambiance was calm and relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff deserve special recognition for their professionalism and attentiveness. They were always courteous, helpful, and quick to assist with any request, making the entire stay seamless and enjoyable. The facilities were excellent and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel created a sense of comfort and exclusivity. Whether for leisure or business, this hotel truly delivers a top-tier experience.

I stayed here many years ago and had a pretty good experience back then. However, my recent visit was a huge disappointment, especially regarding the cleanliness. We booked two rooms, and the kids complained about lots of hair on the beds. The bathrooms also had a foul smell. In our room, the air conditioning wouldn't get cold even when set to 16 degrees, and the wooden panel next to the toilet was moldy and damaged. What was most unbearable was the strong cigarette smoke smell throughout the entire floor, which even seeped into our room. This was a truly disappointing experience, and I likely won't choose to stay here again.

Overall, the stay was okay. The hotel provides free parking, which is a plus. However, our first impression wasn’t great. When we arrived, the place was quite crowded and we waited around 10 minutes in the check-in line, only to be told that a RM50 deposit was required in cash. Since we didn’t have any cash on us, we couldn’t check in and had to go find an ATM first. This wasn’t communicated beforehand and made the check-in process unnecessarily inconvenient. Aside from that, the rest of the stay was generally fine. The room was clean, though not spotless. Hot water and water pressure were both acceptable. The room came with basic amenities such as a kettle, iron, hairdryer, TV, and water heater, which was convenient. Our room included breakfast, and that was actually a highlight. The food quality was good with a decent variety of options, and there was nothing to complain about on that front. Soundproofing could be improved, as noise from outside could be heard through the door, but it didn’t really bother us at night. Overall, despite the rough start during check-in, the hotel was mostly good and met basic expectations.

Dry Season (February to April, July to August)

The dry season in Cameron Highlands is marked by minimal rainfall, clear skies, and beautiful sunshine. The temperature remains pleasantly cool, providing an excellent opportunity for outdoor activities like hiking, exploring the tea plantations, and visiting the strawberry farms.
