The room was much bigger than we expected. The front desk assigned us a family room, even though there were only two of us. It had an open kitchen, a large living room, and two bedrooms. The shower and toilet were in separate rooms, which was great for the wet and dry separation. The hotel felt newly renovated, so everything was very new, though there was a slight smell of formaldehyde – hopefully, they can air it out more. All in all, we felt this hotel was very much worth the price! If I have the chance to visit Ipoh again, I'll definitely stay here.
This was my second time staying at this hotel. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would especially like to thank the Chinese-speaking front desk staff member, who looked Malay, for her patience and excellent explanation in Chinese. Her service was outstanding, and I truly appreciated her help.
I will definitely stay here again whenever I visit Ipoh in the future. Keep up the great work! 😊
Reasons for the low service rating:
1. Host did not initiate contact with me regarding booking information. I have to send them a message to inquire for a booking that I had already paid for.
2. Host requires a RM200 deposit which my friend who had booked with a different host at the exact same location did not demand.
3. After making the deposit payment in the morning at 10.30am and providing all other information requested, host did not respond to provide any additional information such as unit number and pin code for to retrieve access card.
4. At 5pm when I had finally arrived at the building, I still had not received any form of communication from the host. I had attempted to call their service line (+601157651449) but no one responded to the 6 calls that I had made.
5. At the mailbox area, I had also overheard another visitor that was also facing similar issue where the pin provided to her was not working and that she was also not getting response from the host.
6. Host offered late checkout that I did not need as I was departing early morning the next day.
The building is relatively new but the number of lift does not cater to the residents, there are many occasions where we had to skip multiple lift rides as it was overcrowded. The unit itself is clean with basic amenities.
Really amazing stay here, the apartment was like brand new and was very clean. We had lots of space and really like the interior design of the apartment. The hotel itself is a lovely building and has a beautiful rooftop pool. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Awesome hotel, felt welcoming while stepping in, smiling staff everywhere including housekeeping and restaurant server, Appreciate to Ms Jojo at the front desk who given us wonderful connecting room due to my handicap mom, Overall cleanliness is great, Thanks to the housekeeper Rahim who take care of room 515&516, My family enjoyed the stay so much especially my kid, love the pool and games room .The only downside was the pool entrance which is wet and slippery which needs more attention. One of a unforgettable hotel so far at Ipoh with beautiful scenery and people, Thanks AC Marriot, Hope to see you guys again ☺️
Had a pleasant stay at M Roof Hotel & Residence. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with modern design and good facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The location is convenient with many eateries nearby and easy parking available. The rooftop pool was a nice bonus. Breakfast could have more variety, but overall it was a good value stay and I would consider coming back again.
One suggestion for improvement would be to provide more clearly designated disabled parking spaces closer to the entrance to improve accessibility and convenience for guests with mobility needs.
Even though the hotel has been established for decades, the rooms are still fresh and clean. I read not so good reviews and many occasions I was reluctant to book. This time around I decided to give it a try and was amazingly surprised how wonderful it turned out to be. I will definitely comeback again and stay at Hotel Excelsior. Receptionist at the front desk was helpful. I purposely took photos of the room when I entered to show others what a difference it made my day. Ignore the other reviewers and note many be the management took notice and has improved since then ☺️
I forgot to take photos but trust me, I think this property is new, so it is very clean, everything looked new, not crowded at all, check in process also very simple, no deposit needed. Room is very cozy and comfortable.
You may get confused upon arrival but the security guards are helpful and able to communicate in English.
I enjoy staying here very much!
Great service! The location is excellent and it's very clean. This time, I stayed with my grandfather, father, and uncle in their quadruple room. The space is quite large, and there's an additional small area with a sofa and such. Overall, it's pretty good and very suitable for elderly people and family-style living. (Attached a photo of the cafe downstairs, haha!)
Stayed at Hotel Casuarina recently and had a pleasant experience. The room was comfortable, and spacious. The location is convenient with easy access to nearby shops and food places. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of choices. Overall, a comfortable stay but cleanliness need to improve.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserI recently stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Damai Laut Resort to celebrate a special anniversary, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations.
Upon arriving at 3:00 PM, I had to wait in a very long queue for check-in and only received my room key at approximately 3:40 PM. After entering the room, I noticed that the anniversary decorations I had requested were in place, but the cake, chocolates, and fruit platter that I had paid for were not provided. As this was intended to be a surprise for my husband, it was quite disappointing.
What was even more frustrating was that no one informed me that these items were not yet ready. I had to call and follow up myself to check on their status. The cake and other items only arrived more than an hour later, which significantly reduced the excitement and impact of the surprise.
I was also surprised to find that the minibar fridge was completely empty, with no canned drinks or refreshments available. Considering the room rate was approximately RM1,200 per night, I expected more than just complimentary bottled water.
The room was advertised as having a king-size bed, but it felt smaller than expected. In addition, the dinner buffet pricing for children was quite expensive at RM50 per child. My children are 8 and 10 years old and, like most children their age, they eat only small portions and usually only one or two dishes. The breakfast charges for children were also relatively high, making the overall dining cost difficult to justify for young children.
To make matters worse, the cashier accidentally charged my children's dinner twice. Although the duplicate charge was voided, I was informed that the refund process could take between 7 and 14 weeks. This seems like an excessively long waiting period for a billing error made by the hotel.
Overall, this stay was disappointing and frustrating. I had expected a smooth and memorable experience for such a special occasion, but several service shortcomings negatively affected our celebration. I hope the management will review these issues and make improvements to enhance the guest experience in the future.
AAnonymous UserOverall, the stay was disappointing due to several maintenance and cleanliness issues:
Master Bedroom: The ceiling fan was not working, and there were ants and mosquitoes present.
Room 2: The mirror was broken.
Room 3: No hangers were provided.
General: The hair dryer was damaged and unusable.
Gym Facilities: The gym is very run-down, and many machines are not working.
Toiletries & Linen: Only hair and body shampoo were provided. Towels were old and worn out, and the bedroom sheets were not very clean.
On a positive note, the infinity pool is nice and well-maintained, which we did enjoy.
However, the issues above significantly affected our comfort and overall experience. Proper maintenance, cleanliness, and better provision of basic amenities are strongly needed for future guests.
GGuest UserThis is a guesthouse located in a residential area. The check-in and check-out procedures were a bit troublesome. The only upside is its proximity to the water park.
TTravel LostI’m from Ipoh and brought my Friends here for a short gateway . What a wonderful hotel to stay . Walking distance to famous restaurants and attractions. Easy to grab . Beside a restaurant got a nice restaurant to dine in especially the tou fu fa !!! Much nicer than the famous one . Another Japanese restaurant just beside the hotel . I will definitely recommended for all .
GGuest UserOur stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing. The hotel and the surrounding are stunning, the staff is super friendly and the facilities could not have been better. Upon our arrival, our rental car had a flat tyre and the staff was so helpful and fixed this for us immediately. As travellers from Europe this is an excellent service which is so helpful when you do not speak the local language to communicate with for instance the people at the garage. Additionally, we received a free upgrade of our hotel room from the lake villa to the garden villa, for two nights in a row. This villa with private pool and garden is stunning. All the caves and the surrounding facilities are so impressive and nature and luxury blends together perfectly. This is a must visit.

MMiss AryaniLove this place as usual, i was here last January and December and November 😊. I really hope that the renovation will be done soon so i don’t have to park in the basement.
GGuest UserMarina Island Boat transfer easy, although I feel a little expensive. Coffee was cold, they had wrong check in information and I almost tripped on uneven block surface exiting building to boat. Check in completed at reception , with correction to booking. We were in a lower tropical garden villa, which is cheapest room. We were lucky to have part sea view and part back of pool view. Other lower villas in this category, not so good a view. This said, room was gorgeous, despite dead moth in sunken bath area. All the staff were fantastic and helpful. Chatted to some people in over water villas, who were disappointed you could not swim in sea from villa, nor enter sea from beach around jetty , due to sea urchins. On the other side of the Island is Emerrald bay. Absolutely stunning! Beautiful beach and sea to swim in. Lots of space for sun beds, but everyday ran out by 11am! Suggest they get some more! Forfeited scrumptious in all restaurants.
