Sarang Paloh Heritage Stay

Ipoh|0.34km from OldTown White Coffee Ipoh Padang
Paloh was a malay & orang asli (“native”) kampung (“village”) that has been around from at least the 18th century. Apparently the names comes from the founder of the village itself Toh Paloh. Paloh, or palung, also means a depression in the ground that holds water, or a fishing hole to catch fish. It is believed that Paloh was also a boat dock in the past. Some other views hold that the Hakka were the founders of Paloh, and only later came the Cantonese. According to this theory, the origin of the name is a symbolic reference to the dams that were constructed along the Kinta River for fishing purposes. These dams were referred to as “Pa-Lo” in the Cantonese dialect and eventually the area became known as Paloh. Paloh today has of course become the heart of the city of Ipoh. In this old part of the city pre-war Shop Houses line the streets, with a predominantly Chinese character. “Sarang” is a malay word meaning nest, hence “Sarang Paloh” means “The Nest in Paloh”, evoking the image of the hotel as a place of rest for the weary traveller. Located on Jalan Sultan Iskandar (formerly Hugh Low Street), Sarang Paloh is located in pre-war two storey shop houses that originally were the premises of a Goldsmith and a Bank more than 90 years ago. The façade of one of the buildings still has the name of the Goldsmiths on its façade in English, Chinese and Malay (jawi script), with the stately bank building still has the name of Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited on its front. Across the road, Sarang Paloh has another shophouse of which the ground floor has been converted into a carpark. If you have a car, this is where you would park. Parking is complimentary, but you must exercise caution, turning right into the shophouse entrance as Jalan Sultan Iskandar is a pretty high traffic road, and the building inside is quite narrow, with the cars having to be parked bumper to bumper, in two rows. Exit is out through the back of the shophouse into a back lane. Do bear in mind that if the shophouse is full of cars, you may get boxed in by other parked cars and not able to exit! Fortunately this did not happen to us while we stayed here. Getting to the hotel means having to cross the busy road again on foot, with your luggage, from the car to the hotel. The main reception area was in the former Goldsmith’s building, and the entire front of the shop house is dedicated to the reception. To get in the front door, you will need your access card, or the staff inside will have to let you in, if you have yet to check in. The central part of shop house is a courtyard with a spiral staircase going upstairs to the 2nd floor, and in the back is a sort of pantry area with dining table. Staircase at the back also leads upwards. We had booked a room at the back of the shophouse on the 2nd floor, as we were aware of reviews that rooms in front may have some street noise. The rooms are all named after birds, in line with the hotel itself being a “nest”. Our room wa

Anderson Hotel
3.6/55 Reviews
We booked a room for 4 as we travelled as a family. The room is clean, firm bed quiet and the staff are helpful. It is a short walking distance to Ipoh old town. I definitely will stay at this hotel again for my next visit. The room comes with a huge TV mounted up and hanging from the ceiling. There is nothing much to watch but it is a smart TV, probably one can surf the Net or Youtube for more entertainment. The room comes with basic facilities but since it is a budget hotel, we are not expecting too much. We are not sure why the food on the table was infested with ants.
JQ Ban Loong Boutique Hotel
3.9/54 Reviews
We stayed here for only one night after coming down from Penang. It’s a small boutique hotel with basic amenities but very close to all tourist attractions. We checked in quite late at about 7pm, so the road to Jalan Bandar Timah was quite empty. The next morning, we were surprised because the road leading to everywhere was so jammed and all shops (coffee shops & restaurants) were so packed with people, long queues everywhere! Even though this is a small hotel, but it is very clean. Remember to bring your own toiletries as only shampoo and shower gel were provided in the room. Other than that, everything was good. Highly recommended for those love to walk around and learn about history of Perak.
Abby Hotel by the River Town
3.7/516 Reviews
Reasonably clean. Reception is friendly. Free breakfast on the roof 8.30am-10.30am. Tea, coffee toast, butter, kaya (coconut spread) and scrambled eggs on request. Can chill out on roof in hammocks anytime. We stayed in family king room. 120 ringgit per night plus 10 ringgit per night foreigner tax. 50 ringgit deposit. 1 king bed and 1 single bed. Shower only, soap & toilet dispenser on wall. Hairdryer, fan and air conditioner. There’s a cover for the window which blocks out the light for sleeping. Hallway has water filter, kettle, ironing board and spare toilet. Some rooms here are dorm rooms. There’s a sign out front of hotel for walk ins, pay 3 nights and get 4th night free. Bicycles for hire and drinks sold in lobby. This hotel is in new town. There are some food options in old town in the streets surrounding concubine lane. If you are here on a Tuesday try the night market called pasar malam taman Ipoh timur - large night market. About 10 ringgit grab ride. There’s a Tesco next door with free wifi if you don’t have data, to order a grab back. Walked through gerbang malam approximately 7.15pm on Wednesday night, market stalls were only beginning to set up. Restaurants around there were full. Next night we walked through approximately 9.30pm, all stalls were up. Also try Tong Sui Kai for food. Usual local dishes and dessert. Remember you can only sit in front of the stalls that you will be ordering from. I have done a separate review about this place. There’s also a food court near there.
Belakang KongHeng by DreamScape

Why glorify these dark alleys which look like the neighborhood where Jack the Ripper lurk for his next victim? The ”hotel” is supposed to be ”designer hotel”. It's a prison. Period. Full of hazardous corners and dangerous pits. Pool was so heavily chlorinated that the water stung. Door handle came off, stupid latch on the outside of the room, multiple key card systems that could potentially kill if a fire breaks. I almost got stuck in the common bathroom because the latch refused to budge when I wanted to get out. Sink at the common area was greasy. The reception was almost impossible to find. Do not take your elderly family members or small children to this hotel. I booked it coz I had no choice at such a short notice. Not worth the money either. Seriously, MPI should re-inspect that place and take back the accommodation license. Look at the ”barrier” from the rooftop pool to the ground below. No banister. It's lower than my knee if I stand next to it. One wrong move, you'd plummet down. Steps made out of metal grating. No safety yellow stickers to differentiate the levels. Totally NOT safe! Never again!
