This is a unique hotel filled with natural wood including HUGE solid wood front doors 3 meters tall, solid natural wood stairs, tree branches for hand rails, bamboo covering the ceiling, wood slats on walls, and at the entry a unique wood based glass topped table and unique wooden front counter. This place is beautiful. I was at the most remote room from the front; rear third floor, room 308. This was close to Holy Guacamole restaurant so there was live music played until late at night which was ok for me because I go to bed late. The internet was poor in my room, if I really wanted signal I had to leave my room and walk towards the front of the hotel to get dependable signal. During one heavy rain water poured under the wooden window sill and a second time dripped slowly from the ceilings. In both cases it was on the far corner of the room so didn’t really affect me. I took pictures and reported to management, one is an easy fix. The bed was quite hard here so the bed and internet were the 2 things I wasn’t happy with. They had a water station with filtered hot and cold water on the first floor. All in all I would stay here again due to location and uniqueness. I hardly saw anyone in 3 days and other than check in everything else was self service. I didn’t use the coffee shop at the ground floor rear of the building but it looked cozy.

Stay here for its location in the heritage area of Ipoh Old Town. Concubine Lane is the street parallel to Market St. A long time tea merchant, Leong Swee Sang is just a few doors away. The interior of the hotel is Instagramable. The room is small, basic but clean. There is no wardrobe, and a hot & cold water dispenser is provided in the common area. The ensuite bathroom is big enough and there's hot shower. The hotel is not for the elderly as there are no rooms at the ground floor and no lift. Live music from a nearby pub is audible till early hours in the morning on weekends.

A very rustic hotel in a great location about 10 minutes walk from the station. The rooms are very basic but adequate with AC It is all pretty much self service there is no need to interact with any member of staff. Local shops are very close

This is such a unique place, absolutely gorgeous and you can feel the love that was poured into every corner. It feels like you are staying in an art gallery, every wall and door and ceiling is hand painted with incredible talent and taste. Truly impressive!
