Hotels near De Garden, Ipoh

Very comfortable bed. Room size is just nice for overnight stay. Breakfast buffet is reasonable and afternoon hi-tea (canapes, sushi) was impressive! Wifi is strong. Room decor is grey and added in yellow dim lights, the setting is somewhat depressing even when it's a sunny day outside. Also need to close curtains all the time as room window faces inner mall and you can see ppl walking past :(

The staff are very kind and polite at the reception. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated with movie posters. The shower area was bigger than expected. However, the hot water needed some time to come on. There is a water dispenser at the hallway and a foodcourt is located just next to the hotel, which gives you easy access to food. Overall, it's cozy place to stay in if you are on a budget and just needed a place to stay for the night. Soundproofing for the rooms, however, is very bad. You can literally hear when the room next door is back/out from their room, and when they are taking a shower. Apart from that, even with the windows closed, you can still hear people talking on the streets. How loud was it? I woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I forgot to close the window.

Best location, close to aeon, lotus, and ipoh night market. Room super clean and environment not like typical budget hotel.

Clean and Good

For the price, this is a great hotel. Convenient to in expensive restaurants in walking distance. Free parking. Good internet. Staff is of top standard, close to Tesco and a short walk from a Kinta City Mall. No complaints. For the price, the room are clean and comfortable. Very happy with the bed. Just wished we had some English language channels on the television though. A very big thank you to the staff members of Art Cottage Hotel. They made our stay very comfortable.

We came for a business trip. And according to the hotel management, due to the heavy rain, the heater got damaged and there was no hot water in the shower for 2 days in the 3 nights we stayed. Hot shower is very important in any stay in hotel. More so when you are on a business trip as you need to look & feel good. I just jokingly asked the front counter Malay lady if this case is there a discount ? She didn't even reply or look at me. So now I know there are better hotels nearby like the MH or 1969 Business Suite to stay for my next trip.

I checked in a suite on Friday night and left on Saturday. The room was very beautiful and comfortable. The security was a bit strange and you have to swipe your room card at the elevator when you enter the room. The parking lot has CCTV. The staff is very friendly. There are many restaurants and food stalls around. It is also very close to the city center. Checked last Saturday night I stayed in a suite. Very nice and comfortable. OOD safe access, via room card in elevator. Parking on CCTV. Friendly staff. Many restaurants and food stalls nearby. Very close to the city center. The downside is that the suite I locked is facing the roundabout, and next to it is Courth Mammoth, very noisy. After midnight, you can hear a slight hammer sound from Courth Mammoth. The cleaning staff didn't clean very thoroughly and I also found uncomfortable things that previous guests had left in the room.

The hotel environment is very pleasant and spacious, offering good views. It's also conveniently located for reaching other places. The availability of amenities like a washing machine and dryer made it easy for us to keep clean during our trip. The Dyson hairdryer was excellent. It would have been even better if there were USB or Type-C chargers available. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Thank you!

When looking for hotel to book, the first criteria is location. This hotel is located away from down town and not too far away from down town. So, it is a rather quiet place. Very good. Next, was the offer of room rate, which is attractive. This pass. So, went ahead to book the dates of stay in Ipoh for this hotel. Upon arrive, the outlook of the hotel was rather impressive, very spacious lobby. When doing the check in, the front desk worker are foreigners. So, English and explanation is not very good. Even trying hard to explain in Bahasa Malaysia. Was told that there is no TV channels to watch. Reason given was the government has switched from analog to digital. So, the hotel were not equipped with the digital decoder. Well, this announcement has been made some time ago, and should be prepared to carry out the installation and testing. Not willing to spend money? Okay, without TV to watch is fine. Most ot the time would either be out and running about or just need the bed to sleep. When given the room key, it is the metal key. After getting into the lift to get to the room, the varendah on the floor was rather run down. There is self ironing service, where the ironing board cloth is rather burnt. Open the room door, and the room is rather musty. Uneven floor and torn and worn carpet. The windows are nailed and locked, therefore it could not be open. The window glass were tinted and the tint film is having blisters. Hence, not a clear view looking out from the room. The bed is okay. But the bathroom is very narrow and tight.The shower when turn on, will wet the toilet bowl and the wash basin. There is no cupboard, it is just a narrow spaced nailed together with planks to serve as a cupboard. Generally the room is very narrow too. Overall the room is very run down. There is no stool, no desk. So, have to use a bedside drawer to put the luggage and sitting on the bed to work with a very small and narrow coffee table. Wifi is very weak and intermittent.
