Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Ipoh

"I saw the high rating on Trip.com and decisively chose to stay at this hotel, considering it as a potential top choice for future business trips. **Welcome:** Communication was seamless, and the doorman quickly guided me to the parking lot. **Parking:** There are two options: paid valet parking outside the hotel lobby, and a multi-story parking garage on floors 4-5 (free if you register at the front desk). There's a direct elevator from the parking lot to the lobby on the G floor, but it doesn't go directly to guest room floors. **Lobby/Front Desk:** Complimentary welcome drinks were available. The front desk staff were highly efficient, completing check-in within about 5 minutes. They also clearly informed me about the complimentary supper buffet at 11 PM (porridge, red bean soup, soy milk, and some side dishes). They also accommodated my request for a late check-out. **Guest Room:** I stayed on the 7th floor this time. There was a subtle, pleasant aroma from the lobby all the way to the room, not overpowering. The room was about 40 square meters, quite spacious, and the layout was very practical. The twin room also featured a bathtub, with warm lighting perfect for a relaxing soak. I personally prioritize good air conditioning, and it was excellent. The soundproofing of the glass was also good; occasionally, I could still hear the roar of modified cars or supercars. **Facilities:** The infinity pool on the rooftop (R floor) offered a great view. However, I noticed the hotel doesn't seem to have a gym, though I'm not entirely sure. **Breakfast:** The variety and selection were just average, not particularly extensive. The taste seemed to cater more to local Malaysian preferences. **Pros:** ① Complimentary supper, a thoughtful touch, which is rare for hotels in Malaysia. ② Direct access between the hotel and Ipoh Parade shopping mall. ③ Centrally located, so no worries about food and drinks. ④ Extremely fast room service. I requested a bucket of ice, and it arrived within 7 minutes. Impressive! ⑤ The complimentary mini-bar included regular coffee and tea, plus two extra beverages and two packets of peanuts/nuts. **Areas for Improvement:** ① I noticed that during supper time, the tables already had breakfast cutlery and tissues laid out. After guests finished supper and the used cutlery was cleared, the unused cutlery remained on the table. This is a significant hygiene concern. I suggest setting up breakfast cutlery after supper service. ② The hairdryer should be placed in the bathroom for guests' convenience, not in the wardrobe (as the noise can disturb a companion). ③ There was noticeable dust in the light strip recess next to the toilet in the bathroom. ④ The Wi-Fi speed needs improvement. While not terrible, it wasn't ideal and affected work efficiency. ⑤ The anti-slip properties of the floor tiles in the shower were not very good. This issue needs attention to prevent falls. Anti-slip coating could be applied, non-slip mats provided, or warning signs posted for guests. **Summary:** As an experienced business traveler who has stayed in no less than 500 hotels worldwide, including high-end and luxury establishments, the above review is absolutely fair and reflects my personal experience. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. Considering the price and hotel category, it's worth returning to."

"This is a very new hotel apartment. It's fully equipped with pots, pans, an induction cooker, microwave, refrigerator, and hairdryer. The only thing missing is a washing machine, but all other essential in-room facilities are there. The room is quite spacious; we booked a two-bedroom apartment. At around 140 Malaysian Ringgit per night during the May Day holiday, it offered great value for money. It was more than enough space for our family of three, with one king-sized bed and two single beds. The living room had a sofa, and surprisingly, the TV even had Mango TV and Tencent TV! 😂 The infinity pool on the hotel's top floor isn't huge but is very tastefully designed. There's also a co-working space specifically for digital nomads, and the gym is excellent. The garden on the second floor is beautiful both day and night. The hotel itself isn't far from the city center. It's about 6-8 MYR by Grab from the train station, and roughly the same to the Mural Street. To Perak Cave and Mirror Lake, it's about 8-10 MYR, making it very convenient to get around. The only issue is that since the apartment is quite new, Grab's current pick-up/drop-off point is located at the main entrance on the main road. If you have a lot of luggage, you might need to ask the driver to go around to the reception area at the back of the apartment."

"We arrived earlier and rooms were not ready. Service is good, offered us an upgrade to a 2 bedroom apartment type room which was perfect as we have a sofa area to chill and relax. The rooms were very comfortable and power outlet is available at table in room which is better than charging phone next to bed. The aircon units are great. The bathroom is spacious and water pressure is good. Hairdryer perfect. There is also a full length mirror just outside the bathroom so no one fighting for mirror use to prep going out. The kitchen and sofa area have power outlets too so we can charge nearby while we hang out. The dining area is large enough too. My only set back is the lighting which can be a level brighter."

"I really like this hotel, the common areas are really pretty,every angle are instagrammable. The room was so clean and comfortable. 2 rooms for a price like this is beyond worth it. They have small kitchen with electric stove and microwave. Will definitely come again"

"If you drive in Malaysia, this is a good hotel within 5 mins drive to Chinatown. It offer free secured parking. The rooms is clean and the bed is comfortable. The front desk reception is friendly and provide and efficient check in and check out service. The only downside of this hotel is the windows soundproofing is weak. You can hear the sound of traffic. If you are sensitive to noise when sleeping, you have to ask for the quiet side of building facing the mountains and away from the main road."

"Everything about this hotel was great. The atmosphere was noble and elegant, and the restaurant food was delicious. The sky pool was a major highlight! We booked a deluxe room with a jacuzzi, which our child absolutely loved. The only minor drawback was that the executive lounge only offered a small selection of snacks and coffee, with no sodas or juices. This wasn't very kid-friendly for families. The executive lounge could definitely be improved. We would still love to come back and stay again if we get the chance."

"I stayed during a public holiday and school holiday period, so a large crowd was expected. Unfortunately, the check-in process took over two hours. I queued from 6:00 PM and only checked in around 8:30 PM. Initially, there were two staff members handling check-ins, but later only one remained. Credit to the staff member on duty he stayed calm and professional despite the heavy crowd and queue cutting incidents. The issue was clearly a lack of manpower and planning. Management should anticipate higher guest volumes during long weekends and streamline the check-in process. The unit itself was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, but the check-in experience needs significant improvement during peak periods."

"The location is great, as it’s close to the city center and convenient for getting around. The hotel also offers a good range of facilities. The breakfast selection isn’t very extensive, but the food is tasty and satisfying. The room was clean and well maintained. Complimentary parking is available for hotel guests, but remember to validate your parking ticket at the front desk before leaving."

"I really enjoyed I really like this hotel The environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! The hostel is very clean, beautiful, and well-maintained. For only RM99 per night, it's definitely worth it. My family and I really enjoyed our stay, and everyone loved it. Will definitely come back again! 😊✨"

"The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. Since it is a new building, some floors are still under renovation. This was my first experience having a blackout while showering at night. I tried to contact the agency, but there were no staff available, so the only solution offered was a room change. We had to spend extra time moving all our belongings to another floor. One suggestion is to consider waiving the deposit requirement, or for the agent to contact guests one day before check-in to reconfirm the booking and deposit payment. I had already submitted my deposit before check-in, but the agency may have missed my message. I only received the entry QR code after being stopped and questioned by the security guard, which made the experience stressful."
