Everything was good Nothing to complain about Anyhow, would like to remark if the hotel could always check those toiletries, beddings, of each rooms, this thing will not be done in one day, but someone should be assign in this task to make sure the hotel will not run out of shape Everything is good Small little notes : lots of dust in the bathtub, which i have to clean it myself, hope the management would put more attention on it

Just a simple hotel. Nothing overly fancy. It's weird that the room does not have bedside table. The room is not carpeted, but it has viynl/woodlike stickers, it is not cold. The area is not exactly welcoming with Bars on both ends and unmanaged vacant properties beside it

Cititel Express Ipoh

Improvement needed: The main entrance location is not convenient for elderly guests or people with accessibility challenges. A big no for the parking system, which operates strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. I spoke with the receptionist — a young Indian gentleman — and explained that my mother uses a wheelchair. I asked if he could help reserve a basement parking spot for easier access. He refused and made no effort to find an alternative solution or show any empathy. His attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, which reflects very poor customer service. Since this is part of the hospitality industry, front desk staff should be well trained in customer service and communication. Unfortunately, he seemed untrained and unaware of how to handle guests with special needs. The good/positive thing: 1. The hotel lobby and several floors have been renovated. A water dispenser is available, and there’s a 7-Eleven store conveniently located on the ground floor. 2. The driver and security guards provided outstanding service. When they noticed my mother struggling to get into the shuttle van, they showed genuine care and empathy. They immediately coordinated to reserve a basement parking spot for us. The arrangement was ad hoc but handled quickly and thoughtfully. Their warm-hearted support truly touched my family and me. The hotel owner is lucky to have such kind and compassionate staff members — they made a lasting positive impression despite the earlier unpleasant experience.

However need to make prior arrangements with the management. The staffs is very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Will definitely return on my next trip.

This is a basic three-star hotel that covers the essentials. Good only for a short stay. The room is a decent size but pretty bare-bones. Most of the room floor is tiled—not wooden, SPC or carpeted —and the amenities are minimalist. The TV set is small and has a limited number of channels. Wi-Fi is not so good, and there is no swimming pool. Parking is free, but it is out on open ground and a bit of a walk to get to the entrance. Difficult when it is raining. On a positive note, the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help. Big thumbs up to them—keep it up!

Lokasi mmg sgt strategik if nak ronda2 kawasan Concubine Lane, Funtasy Trick, 22 Hale Street Museum, Platform Half, Gabriel Cafe, Pekan Lama Cafe dll. Just around the corner sahaja. Mike Pizza, Rojak Padang, Nasi Ayam Taugeh dan lain lain. Untuk mereka yg travel gunakan train n bus, sesuai sgt. If nak travel ke Tasik Cermin, Gunung Lang bagai, kena ada transport sendiri. The staff is friendly. Ada cerek letrik, tapi kena beli 3in1 kalau tgh malam rasa nak minum. Malam, mmg x der apa lah. Kalau nak g Gerbang Malam, boleh je jalan kaki dlm 27 mins kalau rasa larat la. But for my family, kami rela jalan kaki walau jauh. Dpt menikmati view malam yg kosong dan view siang yg menyesakkan. Kami stay at family room with double queen bed. Walau bilik sedikit sempit but still comfortable. Bukan nak duduk bilik sepanjang masa right? Bilik air luas sgt, boleh masuk la 5/6 orang dalam tu. Keadaan bau tu, bg kami ok je ala2 macam bau lama, bangunan lama. Especially kat lif. Dlm bilik x dak bau yg kurang menyenangkan. Selesa. Iron, disediakan depan lif. Yes, hotel ni ada lif. Bg yg x larat nak angkut beg beso naik turun tangga, jgn risau. Ada lif sedia tuk digunakan. Ada juga water dispenser kat dapur kalau malas nak masak air dlm bilik. Belakang bangunan ada medan selera. Pagi boleh la lapik perut sbelum gerak ronda tuk food hunting yg sebenar. Ada jam beso yg cukup time berbunyi. Nak jalan ke ets amik masa dlm 15-20 mins. Kalau dr stesen bas Jalan Bendahara, dalam 27 mins. We prefer berjalan je semua. Baru feel ala2 tourist di negara sendiri.

The location was excellent - but having a car made it easier for us to get there and get around. The room was clean and comfortable and checkin was smooth as well. The real highlight, though, was breakfast, especially the cucur bawang. Our team probably cleared the plate as soon as it hit the buffet. The breakfast spread was modest but thoughtfully prepared, and everything tasted delicious.
