    “Lovely Stay, But Mind the Corner!”

    I recently stayed at Cititel Ipoh and had a good experience overall. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and newly renovated, which makes for a pleasant and relaxing stay. Its central location in the heart of Ipoh made it easy to explore the city and access nearby attractions. One standout feature was their free shuttle service to the parking lot—it was efficient, punctual, and convenient. The external parking area also deserves praise: it’s spacious, well-maintained, and highly guarded, providing peace of mind throughout our stay. However, I must highlight a serious safety concern. The drop-off area is located at a road corner, which makes it dangerous and poorly designed. I was nearly hit by a car while unloading, which was a frightening experience. I strongly urge hotel management to redesign or better manage the traffic flow to ensure guest safety. A personal tip: arrive slightly earlier than the check-in time as there tends to be a crowd. It’s best to drop your luggage in front of the 7-Eleven near the hotel before heading to the parking lot. Despite the drop-off issue, everything else about the stay was smooth and enjoyable. With a few safety improvements, Cititel Ipoh has great potential to be one of the top hotel choices in the city. P.S.: Also be informed that you will need a deposit of RM50 upon check-in and that the reception is on the 12th Floor

    “Business & Short Break”

    Hotel reception on level 12 was very impressive, clean & staff was good. Room was big, spacious & clean. However, our room have a little musky smell & seems to be coming from the toilet bowl. So we had to close the bowl & toilet door at all time or else it affect to room too. Very good to have the free love channels too. Overall nice hotel & walking distant to many tourist sites

    “One night stay ”

    Comfortable and worth the price. However, the limitations are 1. the entrance to the hotel is just beside a main road. 2. limited parking at the basement. Additional parking area is provided outside the hotel building. Sadly during our stay, the buggy was out of service. Nevertheless, everything was good.

    “My favorite hotel in Ipoh”

    I love solo traveling, and Ipoh—especially the Concubine Lane area—is my favorite spot for a quick staycation away from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. I usually go on holiday once or twice a month, and last year alone, I visited Ipoh five times, staying at Cititel Express Ipoh on three of those trips. This is my first visit to Ipoh this year, and as always, I chose to stay at Cititel Express Ipoh for several good reasons. It’s within walking distance to the train station, Concubine Lane, and other nearby attractions—just about an 8-minute walk. The rooms are clean and spacious, with a great shower. One feature I really appreciate is their in-room entertainment system, which is far better than the usual local TV channels other hotels provide. Having a 7-Eleven right at the hotel lobby is incredibly convenient, and the food at their restaurant, Padang Terrace, is very reasonably priced. If I had to point out a few drawbacks, it would be that the hotel only has two elevators, which can be a hassle during peak times. Also, being located along a busy main road without a proper drop-off zone makes it less ideal for those arriving by car. That said, I usually travel to Ipoh by train, so it’s not a major concern for me. One suggestion I’d like to offer is to provide more bed pillows—ideally two per single bed and four for a king or queen bed. It would definitely enhance the comfort level for guests.
