Dimitri T WAC 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!

WLawThe hotel's location is superb 👍🏻 It's connected to the large mall next door, so everything you need is right there. They even offer free late-night snacks from 11 PM to 12 AM: the unsweetened soy milk is delicious and super smooth (you can add syrup yourself), the black glutinous rice sweet soup isn't too sweet or greasy 👍🏻, and there's also plain congee (with various toppings like shredded pork floss available). It's truly impressive and makes you feel at home.
The room is very clean, and the bed is incredibly comfortable for sleeping. At night, it's just a 10-minute walk to the dessert and snack street. Driving to Gaowen Street for bean sprout chicken and local specialties is super close, just a few minutes away 👍🏻 👍🏻.
I'll definitely stay at this fantastic Weil Hotel again on my next trip to Ipoh.
The hotel facilities are complete and comfortable, and the staff are very enthusiastic ❤️

PS-NgIt is clean and spacious unit and next to Lost World! In the unit there's water filter for drinking, washing machine (no detergent tho). Although I didnt go to the attraction, this is a good location for those who are going. I had was given 2 car parks. Check in and out directions is clear too! Extra plus point is the plushy pillows and extra large bed!! Great view too. (Aside from the construction ongoing, the hills are just right beside me!!

Anonymous UserI really love the room. The bed was very comfortable with the nice pillows. Duvet cover is lovely with the hotel detailing on them. Well done management. The bathroom is big with separate wet bathroom. Toilet came with bidet and automatic wash machine control system.
Breakfast buffet was really good spread and kudos to the f&b team with their amazing hospitality and services. Special shoutout to the staff Hattame for his great hospitality and service. Good ambiance too. Rooftop pool was small but it’s clean and overlooking the airport. There’s a lifeguard and staff around.
On the other hand i was very disappointed with the cleanliness at the coffee counter in the room. Total disaster for such a brand new hotel. The dust are so thick on the fridge and all over the coffee cabinet. So disappointing and disgusting. Housekeeping manager or management should check on their staff works.
Kettle was not clean properly and there is a left over water in the kettle, obviously not clean from the previous guests. Totally unacceptable for so call 5* hotel. Front desk staff was not friendly and gave me a fake smile and I was not feeling welcome at all. One of the female staff wearing worn out shoes and making so much noise while she moving around the reception which i find so annoying and what a poor grooming and service standard for a hotel. She not even smile at me while I was there at the counter for the check in.
Overall I was happy with the comfort of the room and parking area was very convenient for me. Hopefully the management take note of my feedback and hope for the improvement of my next visit otherwise will be my last visit.
Thank you.

Anonymous UserWe had a pleasant stay at this hotel while travelling with friends. The room was clean, modern, and spacious enough for us. We especially liked the sofa and table, which gave us a nice space to sit together, relax, and chit-chat. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the price was reasonable.
One thing to note is that there is no lift from the car park to the lobby, so carrying heavy luggage can be a bit inconvenient. The pillows were also not very comfortable.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the cleanliness, friendly service, and comfortable space to spend time together. Good value for money and a nice place to stay with friends!

Guest UserThe location is good and convenient. The overall environment is acceptable, and the house has three bedrooms, which is suitable for families or groups.
However, the bathrooms could be improved. They would benefit from better maintenance and updating to provide a more comfortable stay.
Overall, it’s a decent place if you’re looking for a convenient location and enough space for a group.
