Palm Hotel Ipoh

good and comfortable enough for the business traveler with such as a good bed

Very easy to get parking summon if you didn’t pay parking fees before 8.30am, hotel management should do something to protect hotel guests from this rather than just let put a signboard saying nothing to do with the hotel on any parking issues

THEFT BY STAFF What a terrible experience we had at this so called hotel. We stayed one night at Palm hotel. The room was clean and well maintained and we were very pleased with it overall until it was time to check out. The lady in charge said before we could get our deposit back she was going to check the room first. Although I have never experienced this in any other hotel I said ok fine, this was probably standard procedure. She came back and said that there was some blood on the bed sheets & she would deduct rm50 from the rm100 deposit. I asked her to show me the blood and so we went to the room. Yes there was some blood but it was clearly from a mosquito scratch, a small, tiny splat of blood. See attached pictures. I told her that this can easily be cleaned & that’s what cleaning services are for but She insisted that the stain needed special treatment & cleaning services. So to prove her wrong, I had to literally CLEAN the stain myself with soap which came off a few seconds after with NO special treatment required. To which she replied ok you get your money back! No apology, no nothing just indifference! When we asked for her name she refused to give her name and said ‘I’m just working here’! We went down to the reception and saw the supervisor and told him the incident. He apologised but I told him I had to actually wash the bed linen to prove that the stain was easily washable. This is totally unacceptable! Their excuse was that they outsourced their laundry which was a pathetic reason because most small hotels do that anyway. That’s not the point. My point is that it was a small stain that could easily be cleaned. I felt we were being punished, penalised. We were paying guests and we had to prove our innocence. Very bad customer service, no customer empathy at all. We will definitely not recommend this place to anyone. If you still want to stay make sure you do the bed, vacuum, clean the toilets, & bathroom or you might lose your deposit! PS I strongly believe the employee was ripping us off and trying to take the rm50 for herself. I would strongly recommend the supervisor to look into this and take preventative measures for future customers.

Clean room and service provided was excellent.

Near town area. Room is spacious. Easy for going out. Will recommend to friends.
