Larut，Matang and Selama Hotels & Accommodations

i would say this hotel has so much potential to become a great hotel, from a mediocre hotel it is now. The location is perfect.. within the vicinity of the famous Taiping Lake Garden but towards Bukit Larut. Though it is bit out of the main road, it is still good reach by vehicles. Or if u stay without vehicle, u still can call for Grab for food. etc. I saw an archery field at the back of the hotel. And i know, nearly there is a waterfall area. In front of this property, there is another equally interesting looking accommodation called Kamal Lodge that i can clearly see from my room Room 204. My room, though a Standard Room, was adequately furnished, though the aircond was OK OK only prolly because they use 1hp aircond, for a relatively big room. The towel though clean, was already old and time to change it. Breakfast was additional RM25 though i didnt take it, but i saw the restaurant was big and welcoming. The lobby i thnk, can be further improved. Prolly, u guys can provide bicycle renting service etc to the guest. Maybe they have, i didnt asked. I just wish the lobby and the lift have more soft touch to make the guest more..welcomed? But the lobby staffs were courteous and friendly and accommodating as i need to borrow their phone charger for a while. some newer hotel stayed already have the USB plug in the room though. anyway, i still want to recommend this place for families..as their pool look interesting for kids..though the water looked bit murky. and the big room of course. But ya i want to come back in the future to check on their progress!

The reason i choose the hotel was the price, base on some pictures in Agoda. Was throughly happy with my choice! The basement parking is proper and has good spacing. They use card system to go to respective lift, not common to many hotels in Taiping.. safe and secure.. My room, room 615 (probably the cheapest..im sure they have much bigger room) was good for 1 or 2 person..with good air con, reliable wife and safe deposit box. Though it doesnt have clothes cupboard, there are some hanging spaces to hand clothes. The bed is good with god pillow. The sound proof is acceptable, though the corridor sound can be heard, at least no sound fron the main road to the room. The lining (bed sheet and towels) are crisp ans clean too. The unit doesnt have small fridge, iron board and cuttle but they have all these facilities near the lift. There are 2 complimentary drinking water in the room, with 2 packet of local coffee too. In term of location, it is right smack in front of Tesco amd besides Tesco, therw is a mall called Taiping Mall that has everything inside, including Watson, Starbucks, Texas Chicken and even Family Mart. If thats not enough for u, there is AEON Mall about 700-900 meter away..that has TGV. The lake garden ia about 5 KM away i assume. Overall, i can recommend this hotel for everybody who is on a budget, that islooking for a decent stay/transit stay in Taiping.

Will be good if could provide the disposable slipper as the tiles is very cold when walk into the toilet during night time. And also could provide the laundry bag will be good.

Regular guest here and fully satsfied as always. Spacious and clean room, great location, close to popular eateries and the serene Taiping Lake Gardens. Commendable effort by the hotel to ”Go Green” by supplying environmentally friendly toiletries such as wooden toothbrushes. Breakfast spread is wonderful with plenty of bread and cheese selections. One suggestion though, the huge window panes can do with a bit of cleaning.

We’re greeted by friendly staffs even though we checked in quite late. The SOP of the hotel was well carried out with the temperature machine, QR code, and automatic hand sanitiser. The place was super clean & comfortable. The elevator was modern & fast too. The hallway of the room was clean, the exterior of the hallway as well as the room numbers on the wall was very nice. I really like that. The “do not disturb” and “make up my room” sign was operated by a switch inside the room which was nice! The room was REALLY clean, comfortable, well-organized. The beds, blankets & pillows were so soft, comfortable. Air-conditioner was working well. The tv has a few interesting, nice channels. The toilet was clean, floor wasn’t slippery at all. And I really enjoy the showers at the wall & on the ceiling as light shows up when I turned it on. That made me really happy while showering! 😂 The shampoo & bath gel was super nice to use. Thank you so much for the friendly welcome, the clean, comfortable room. I stayed here for 2 days 1 night but it was SO worth it. Will definitely come back!

The room was okay but not that spacious. Free parking. There's an indoor swimming pool but I was disappointed with it. It's before 6pm when we want to go to the pool but it's a bit dark as previously it was raining. The hotel didn't switch on the light so my nephew was scared. Breakfast was okay.

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.

It is unique! Entrance is through a storage freezer!!! You won’t miss it because of its huge eagle on the roof. Staff are friendly and helpful. However, my complaint would be of other guests and not because of Happy 8. You see, Happy 8 is made of wood and it is common sense that you have to think of other visitors in other rooms when you yell or turn on your music full blast or even stomp around in your room. There is no sound proof. I love this lodging because of its location and convenience. But I had a gorrilla living above us who stomps around until after midnight. And we hear children screaming because parents could not be bothered about other visitors; thinking that they are living in their own house. That’s what makes the lodging unpleasant. If all visitors think of others and do your part in trying to keep some peace and quiet, Happy 8 would be a great place to stay!

Room is quite spacious. Bed is firm and comfortable. Towels are a good size and plush. In dire need of new paintwork, thorough cleaning and maintenance. The whole place feels grimy especially the carpet, the window latch is broken so the noise from outside seeps in, air cond is not cold enough and there are stains on the walls and in the toilet. Some weird details such as no latch on the bathroom door so it cannot close securely from inside the room, roller blinds instead of curtains (which is cut so narrowly it just barely covers both sides of the window). It is next to the train track and an elevated expressway so traffic noise in the middle of the night can be disturbing, particularly with a broken window latch. Not as near as expected to Taiping lake gardens; it's about 10 minutes drive. Wouldn't stay again since there are many other nearer, better hotels around.

This is probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was small and not very clean. There were carpets in several places and the hot electric iron was burned. There were stains on the sheets, the towels were small and very old. The shower water is warm at most and cannot be a good head for a day. TV often gets disturbed, so basically can't watch, because the program is constantly interrupted, although the air conditioner has a control keyboard, but the constant temperature function does not work, so the room is either very hot and humid, or very cold. The worst part was that the food was simply uneatable, and I tried English and Malaysian, with roast chicken mostly uncooked chicken skin.
