Great location, close to 7-Eleven, a Mamak restaurant, Lotus's, and my course venue. The room price was reasonable, and it even had a fan if you didn't want to use the air conditioning. The bathroom was okay, though I wasn't a huge fan of the glass panel – it looked a bit odd, even though you could draw a curtain to cover it. But overall, it was good. It was also convenient for breaking fast, as it was near a Ramadan bazaar.

Guest UserDelicious breakfast, great view from the room, very clean. Love the room, the beds & pillows. The only problem is there is no lift from basement carpark to the lobby. We enjoy or stay and will likely to come back whenever we visit Ipoh

Guest UserThe hotel isn't in the old town, so the location is a bit off the beaten path. However, we took taxis everywhere, so it was quite convenient, and there's also a bus stop right outside. The service was excellent, and the view from the window of all the small private villas was very pleasant.

Anonymous UserStayed here again after my previous visit in 2024. There have been some improvements since then, especially the swimming pool, which has been upgraded and looks nice. However, the cleanliness of the pool water still needs improvement. From the surface it looks clean and blue, but underneath, the water and pool area look quite dirty.
The room was good overall, but the pillow was quite hard for my liking. The air-conditioning is centralized, and the room was still quite warm even when I set it to high.
The café is currently closed for renovation and has been moved/replaced with a temporary café on the 1st floor. Hopefully, the renovation will bring further improvements, and I’m looking forward to seeing the completed changes on my next visit.
Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are still a few areas that could be improved, especially the pool cleanliness and air-conditioning.

MikeLimMyHotel Regal Vista is a well-located, budget-friendly hotel — strong on location and value, but showing its age in terms of interior polish. Here's a professional traveler's take.
The hotel sits on Jalan Veerasamy, roughly 0.78 km from Ipoh Old Town, just a 6-minute walk to Memory Lane Market and only 331 metres from Ipoh Parade shopping centre, with the historic Ipoh Railway Station about 1.6 km away.
It's centrally placed and easy to navigate on foot or by Grab, making it a solid base for exploring the Old Town's murals, cafés, and street food scene.
Easy access to public transport and nearby eateries, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and convenient parking
Secure 24-hour car park nearby, plus proximity to the pedestrian street, KFC, etc.
A short stroll to the Kinta River walk (popular with early-morning joggers), decent breakfast, and spacious rooms
Staff are consistently described as helpful, and value for money is a recurring theme
It's best described as a reliable ”safe choice” — good on location, cleanliness, and price, but the interior is dated with no boutique or modern feel, amenities are basic, and sound insulation is only average (some guests report hearing motorbikes from the street below)
- A minority of reviews flagged isolated cleanliness lapses, such as a clogged sink causing odour — not systemic, but worth checking room reviews before booking
- Not the pick for travellers chasing a design-forward or resort-style stay
Travelers Tips💐
For backpackers, business travellers on short stays, or anyone prioritising proximity to Old Town's food and heritage sites, this hotel is hard to beat on location and price. If ambience, soundproofing, or a boutique aesthetic matter more to you, it's worth comparing against Old Town's design-led guesthouses (think Sekeping-style properties or mural-district boutique inns) instead.
Either way, I'd recommend checking recent room-specific reviews before booking, and avoiding street-facing or lower-floor rooms if noise sensitivity is a concern.

I only stayed one day in Ipoh as a stopover. This hotel isn't in the city center, and it's not particularly close to the train station either. However, there are some other small shops within the same building, which makes for a decent collection.
The environment is pretty good; it has an industrial design, but it doesn't look run-down. The room was small, but it matched the price. The first room we were given had a connecting door to the next room, so we asked to switch, and the front desk lady cheerfully changed it for us.
There's a gym with treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and some strength training equipment. Not many people seemed to use the gym, but the environment was nice and air-conditioned. I worked out for an hour and felt great afterwards.

Anonymous UserWorth the price you pay! Great location, just beside the highway. Everything is clean, aircond was functioning well, the room is nice. It’s just that the small fridge is not functioning and the water pressure is kinda slow. But I don’t really mind. The front desk was also nice. I will reconsider staying at this hotel again for a short staycation.

Khairul A. HabibThe curtains were not thick enough, allowing sunlight to stream in and making the room feel hot. The café staff member behaved rudely, accusing us of not paying for breakfast without checking first. The staff member did not apologize after we showed proof that our booking included breakfast, and simply walked away with an unpleasant expression.

The only issues were the uncomfortable pillows, poor soundproofing, and slightly dirty floor. Everything else was fine.

Daniel WSLOverall Rating: ★★★☆☆
The apartment's biggest advantage is its excellent location. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and shopping options within walking distance, making it very convenient for families and larger groups. The host was responsive and replied promptly when we raised issues during our stay.
Unfortunately, the cleanliness and maintenance of the property fell well below our expectations. We encountered ants throughout the apartment—including the living room, sofa, dining area, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms—which made it difficult to enjoy our stay. Although the host provided insect spray after we reported the issue, the infestation was so widespread that spraying the entire apartment was neither practical nor a comfortable solution.
Several areas were dusty, the curtains had a noticeable layer of dust, and the bedsheets and toilet rolls appeared old. We were also charged RM60 for an extra bedsheet for two nights, but the condition of the bedding did not justify the additional fee. The sofa showed signs of wear, and one of the ceiling fans was noisy during operation.
For larger groups, please note that when someone showers upstairs, the downstairs bathroom cannot be used properly due to water pressure issues. We were informed that this affects every unit in the building, suggesting it is a known issue rather than an isolated incident.
The facilities were also disappointing. The jacuzzi was unavailable during our stay and appeared to be non-functional, making it more decorative than usable.
The host initially agreed to compensate us for the cleaning fee due to the cleanliness issues, but we did not receive any further update after that.
Overall, the apartment has great potential because of its strategic location, but significant improvements in cleanliness, pest control, maintenance, and facility upkeep are needed before I could recommend it to others.
Pros
Excellent location with many restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby.
Responsive communication from the host.
Cons
Widespread ant infestation throughout the apartment.
Dusty environment, including dusty curtains.
Old bedsheets, worn furniture, and additional bedding charges that did not reflect the quality provided.
Noisy ceiling fan.
Water pressure issue prevents simultaneous use of upstairs and downstairs bathrooms.
Jacuzzi was not usable, just a decoration.
Compensation for the cleaning issue was promised but never followed up.
