4-Star Hotels in Perak, Malaysia

AC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh — A Pleasant Stay with Room for Improvement Our check-in experience was a breeze! Although our room wasn’t ready upon arrival, we were able to leave our luggage with the bell team and head out for lunch at Ipoh Parade, which is just a stone’s throw away, directly opposite the hotel. While enjoying lunch at around 2 PM, we received a message informing us that our room was ready. Very efficient! We returned to complete our check-in. No miscellaneous deposit was required, although the city tax had to be paid upon arrival. This was clearly stated during my booking through Trip.com, so there were no surprises. The room itself was lovely! It was comfortable, well-designed and, most importantly for me, free from any cigarette smoke smell. The bathroom deserves special mention — excellent shower facilities and a very thoughtful layout. Housekeeping — An Area for Improvement Whenever I stay at a hotel, I don’t require daily housekeeping. I prefer to leave the Do Not Disturb sign on my door and request cleaning only when necessary. We checked in on Monday, and on Wednesday I removed the sign and requested housekeeping before heading out for lunch and a walk around Ipoh. Upon returning, I noticed that the bed had been made and the towels replaced. However, the rest of the room appeared untouched. There was no visible floor cleaning, and our used drinking glasses had not been washed or replaced. Perhaps this reflects the hotel’s housekeeping procedures, but in my experience staying at various hotels, room cleaning normally involves more than simply making the bed and replacing towels. This was disappointing, especially considering that I had specifically requested housekeeping rather than daily service. Breakfast The breakfast buffet offered a relatively modest selection rather than an extensive spread. Personally, I found this perfectly acceptable, especially for guests who prefer a lighter breakfast. Check-out and Luggage Assistance Check-out itself was straightforward, but one aspect worth mentioning is the lack of proactive luggage assistance. At the lobby, nobody approached us to offer help with our luggage. Guests with large or heavy suitcases should be prepared to manage them independently, including taking them down the escalator to the front entrance where airport transfers and other transport pick up passengers. For a hotel carrying the Marriott name, a little more attention to luggage assistance would certainly enhance the departure experience. Overall Experience Despite these observations, I enjoyed my stay at AC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh. The efficient room notification, pleasant accommodation, excellent shower facilities and convenient location were definite highlights. There is room for improvement in housekeeping consistency and guest assistance during departure, but these are areas that can certainly be addressed. Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoyed my return to Ipoh after more than 30 years. The city has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the people are genuinely friendly. Thank you, AC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh, for your hospitality. And thank you, Ipoh, for a memorable visit! DTW/Lee Yoke Yin/Loh Boon Meng

I tried it here because the name of Wyndham, Check in lobby was out of our expectations where it doesn't feel like a 4 stars hotel. It feels like an apartment instead. We came in a family of 5 and their 2 room unit fitted us nicely. The rooms were clean and new and one of the bathrooms comes with a bathtub. Breakfast was simple and there was room for improvement. Kids complain no egg station😅 , it's more to 3 stars standard. But fair enough to make you full. Overall it was a pleasant short stay but there are rooms for improvement. Will consider coming back again .

The location of the property is excellent, and the building is well maintained. The unit is equipped with most essential amenities, including a refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, iron, and basic kitchen utensils. However, several advertised facilities were not functional during our stay, including the kitchen stove, chimney hood, living room ceiling fan, and TV. The check-in process could be clearer. I had to contact the property a day in advance to obtain the check-in instructions and pay a RM200 security deposit. The deposit was refunded a few hours after checkout without any issues. The biggest downside of this property is the ongoing construction directly in front of the building. There was constant noise from drilling and blasting, and the area was very dusty. Construction work even continued into the night, making it difficult to relax and causing me a headache. If you’re looking for a peaceful stay, it’s worth checking whether the construction has been completed before booking.

The room facilities were old and the soundproofing was poor. The gap under the door was quite large; after turning off the lights, the light coming through the door gap was bright enough to serve as a nightlight. The toilet in the room was faulty; it wouldn't stop flushing immediately and would automatically refill after emptying, which was a bit noisy. The location was decent, with plenty of food options and the night market not far away. The Chinese-American lady who checked me in provided excellent service.

What a WOW for me & families stay here. Very satisfied room like staying at our home. The conditions of the room are clean, amenities are great & complete set of kitchen ware. The bila2 mart is convenient jz at d ground floor. Very relaxing & enjoying at the maze garden. Definitely will come back to stay.

Did not know that the swimming pool was outside of the hotel and by the roadside. Not convenient. The room was spacious and the aircond well functioned. The breakfast foods just okay, not too delicious for me.

Upon arrival the 2 contact details provided don't respond and it's really annoying and disappointing. 1 contact go into voicemail box and another will never pick up the call which somehow give you the impression of the host is not reliable(Attached conversation without reply) The property manager or agent that host these property really need to be more professional. The unit is full of new paintings and the smell cause lots of discomfort(Attached the toilet door with new paint) The bidet or sprinkler is broken and the water is scattered around and cause our clothes and toilet paper all wet!!!(Attached photo broken bidet) They don't install ventilation fan on the toilet and when you open the window for air circulation your neighbors could see you.Their intentions is very clear which is they don't bother the comfort of the guest(Attached photo of when open up the toilet window for ventilation the upper floor could see through hence no privacy while shower.You shower with window close and its felt suffocating after a while!!!) As Ipoh is famous for eateries to our surprise when we packed our supper home the utensils is really disappointing.The host barely provides you any plates and utensils.Maybe just 4 cups 4 plates as if anything extra will cause them a million dollars investment.You can't find extra waste plastic bags or toilet paper.They simply being too calculative and don't provide any extra even you are using it to keep their unit clean at least if you provide me with extra waste plastic bags we could pack our waste and keep it clean and hygiene instead. Each room only 2 towels for shower and no pools towel provided.Very inconsiderate!!! The worst part is they will sent you a check out instructions 6am in the morning to wake you up!!! If you having a peak booking on our check out date you may sent a reminder for checkout but please not at 6am in the morning !!! I think Trip.Com should check on your agent quality and set a minimum standards.The property host is really disappointed we don't have time to waste so we just put up with it and write a review after check out.

A Wonderful Stay at Kingston Hotel 15 Kingston Hotel 15 offers a welcoming atmosphere and a pleasant accommodation experience. The staff are friendly, professional, and attentive, creating a positive impression throughout the stay. The hotel is a convenient choice for both business and leisure travellers looking for comfort and good hospitality. The overall experience was pleasant, and the welcoming service made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation and friendly service. Would definitely consider staying here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Sunway Onsen Apartments. The check-in registration was smooth and hassle-free—the security guards were very familiar with the process and extremely helpful throughout. What We Loved: 1. Fantastic Views: We stayed in a corner lot unit that offered an amazing 180-degree view. We had direct views of the Lost World of Tambun on one side and Ipoh town on the right. 2. Comfort & Cleanliness: The apartment was overall very clean, tidy, and comfortable for our family stay. Areas for Improvement: 2. Air Conditioning: The air conditioning units took a bit longer than expected to cool down the space. 2. Bathroom Detailing: While the main areas were tidy, the bathroom floor could use a bit more thorough scrubbing to clear up minor dirt build-up. 3. Amenities & Towels: It would be great to have extra towels provided, especially for family groups. Suggestions for the Host: 1. Cleaning Tools: Adding a broom in the unit would be very helpful so guests can quickly sweep up small daily messes. 2. Trash Bins: Providing a larger trash bin (or extra plastic trash bags) would make waste disposal much easier for families staying multiple days. Overall, a lovely property with great accessibility to Tambun. We would gladly stay here again!

The environment is elegant and quiet. Although we only stayed for one night, the kids loved the hotel room very much. The location is also quite central, so it doesn't take long to get to nearby shopping malls. The only minor drawback is that while the hotel has its own parking lot, it is entirely outdoor and open-air. Everything else gets a thumbs up 👍 thumbs up 👍 thumbs up 👍!
