Hotel di Tupai dengan Kolam Renang

Ruang bilik luas, tandas luas ada bath tub. Tapi tandas kurg bersih. Can see mold clearly everywhere. Can feel the soap scum in the bath tub. Dust under the bed also can be seen. The tea cup also not been wash properly. Hopefully they can improve more about this. Variety choices of food for breakfast. The food at the cafe taste good & affordable price. Just that the salad for breakfast, please dont use chilli sauce mix mayonise, it taste bad since the chilli sauce so spicy.

Checked in, had to pay immediately which is unusual..small room for 2 and very very basic, a/c blowing smelly air on my head and immediately I felt it was going to be a difficult stay. Asked to be moved to what turned out to be the honeymoon suite. Again super-basic for 120rm extra per night but good size for elderly mum and I sharing a king bed (quilt was queen?). One towel each, no face towel, one floor mat. Aware that daily room clean is available but had read of things going missing for other visitors so abstained - no safe. No breakfast and no real facilities to cook for yourself. Really? Town is only a 5 minute drive but for every meal, it’s a big drag. We brought fruit back to our room as there is a little fridge. Room interior needs serious upgrade as it’s dark, dreary and a bit spooky at night. Some silly villa design features: - open wardrobe in path of one bedside means you keep hitting your head on the hangers on the way to your side of the bed - same bedside had no light of its’ own - hardwood bed corners need to be marked so we don’t keep hitting our toes at night - a shower curtain would stop the whole bathroom floor and toilet getting wet every time one has a shower - the outdoor balcony steps are so steep and close to barrier that if you lost your footing in the poorly-lit outdoor area, you’d fall right over the balcony side. - nowhere to put bath items needed when showering - a little shelf wd do. Front desk staff are helpful where they are able to be, but place felt a bit lifeless, esp. as there is no communal eating area. No faulting the spectacular settings but forget dipping your feet in the water nearby let alone having a swim. Barbed wire and preventative rock embankments (newly installed according to my mum who visited at least twice before - 2011 and 2017) sully the desire to cool off or to really immerse yourself in the setting. To be fair, it is a natural spring that provides fresh water to the people of Taiping so won’t argue on that front. Saw monkeys, butterflies, snake-shaped fern, huge millipede, multivaried greenery. This place has so much potential but it feels as if we are discouraged from enjoying the natural surrounds as much as we’d like…a bit ‘shut shop’. The really generous part of our stay was the jungle and it’s teeming life.

My wife and I recently made our way to Taiping which was where she grew up. This trip was therefore akin to a post-pandemic pilgrimage of sorts to revisit her roots. We had high expectations and the Flemington Hotel did it's part to deliver on an overall good experience. Wendy Yong, the Front Desk Manager was generous with her time and very hospitable. The hotel was slightly weathered by time but the customer experience and location by the Lake Gardens was superb. It was also within walking distance of a range of hawker fare. I'd recommend a lake-facing room for an excellent view.

Kami agak terkejut melihat sarang burung di atas bumbung dan banyak burung jatuh di bawah sarang, yang berhampiran dengan laluan ke bilik kami... Apabila kami bertanya kepada kakitangan mengapa pihak pengurusan tidak mengambil apa-apa tindakan untuk mengambil bersarang dari bangunan, kakitangan menjawab bahawa mereka akan membersihkan kucar-kacir sekali setiap minggu.. Ya ampun!! Semoga tetamu hotel tidak akan ”beruntung” mendapat ”hadiah” ini dari atas. Dan kadar hotel ini agak mahal. Kami fikir ia tidak berbaloi dengan harganya.
