Decent hotel.

Room is generally OK, with bright windows. Would have been a great stay if not for the extremely poor Wi-fi. Most of the time there is no signal, resulting in dropped connections. In fact one of the guests in another room had to check out and move to another hotel in order to get a proper wifi for his work. That is a shame.

Tv only received tv3. No other channels. Shampoo n shower gel had to put on the floor while bathing. Toilet basin water too big. Splash everyway when I slowly open it. And very noisy, you can hear walking, shouting, banging n talking. I don't recommend

Pleasant place to stay.

Rooms are clean, bright and spacious. The view is great. Location is quiet and serene. Water pressure is good and hot water in the shower is plentiful. The only unfavourable issue is the wi-fi. It is virtually non-existent, and has been like this for every occasion of my stay. Seemsoon Hotel need to address this important problem urgently as it can lead potential guests to look elsewhere.

Stayed at non smoking 2 single bed room at lvl 5. Good comfortable room for the price paid. Shower water pressure is very good, heater also working fine. Free Wifi was no good had to use own data. Parking limited in front of hotel. Sometimes have strong cigarette smell coming from outside into room thru front door. Quiet except can hear ppl slamming doors next door. Very good location, walking distance to popular area for food. Overall is a good hotel if u just need a place to sleep.

Even though 2nd floor is non-smoking floor (only 6th floor is smoking floor), but when I checked in my room full with cigarette smell, I had to open windows and turned on aircond with high fan speed until evening only the smell gone. I know you can't control the previous customer, but you should have done this before next customer check in.

Hotel showing its age.

The hotel has gotten run down over the years. It looks and feels aged. The blankets are paper thin and the one I had a nasty soil spot on it. The wifi has not improved. The breakfast fare has deteriorated and I couldn't find anything palatable. The half boiled eggs were cold and I left the dining room after tasting it. I have stayed there previously on several occasions but will prefer to stay elsewhere from now. Pity as it used to be at least okay.

Reserved a triple bedroom and check-in was fast and easy. The triple bedroom is big and spacious. There is even a bathtub in the bathroom.

However the cleanliness of the room is poor. There were hairs and stains on the bed sheets and pillow sheets. There were also dusts all the desks in the room.

Location wise is not too bad as its just 5-8 minutes drive to Ipoh town. Hotel provides limited free parking.

Inexpensive and clean hotel

I was on a short business trip and the price I paid for is worth it. It's right in the town area so wherever you want to go is just a short drive away. Room is rather spacious (very high ceiling on 1st floor) and clean. Water pressure for shower is great! The only complaint I have is the pillow; it's not soft enough for comfort. Ample of parking space available. Will stay again for my next business trip.

Stay at family room. The room has bathtub and the toilet is very big. The bed and mattress are very comfort. The only thing need to improve is the breakfast. The dining area is too small. If you come for breakfast after 8.30 there will be no space and you have to wait for other to finish their breakfast. The choice of breakfast is limited. No cereal. That is all for my comment. Other facilities are good. Oh but the way, the parking spare are also limited.

Seemsoon Hotel - August 2016

If coming in by coach from Penang the hotel is a few miles from the station. The room was generally ok, albeit a little dated. Staff helpful. Breakfast fairly mediocre, mainly catering for the local or Chinese tourist it seems. Staff helpful. Hotel is a little out of the way, despite being in the city, and appears to be in the autopart side of town, so a taxi ride is generally the best way to get into the main town, with Ipoh Parade (actually a mall) being a good place to unwind, with kids amusements, lazer quest, archery!, etc. Plenty of Western food choices at the mall too for the less adventurous. We chose Ipoh to visit the lost world water park and hot springs. TIP; You can buy the tickets at the hotel, and will be offered 2 types, day passes (until 6pm) and night passes (6pm-11pm). Note that if you purchase the day passes you are entitled to stay until 11pm, though certain attractions will be unavailable as they close at 6pm. This was not made clear, and we nearly purchased both, but thankfully opted just for the day passes, else we would have wasted money needlessly.

Food for breakfast not so good, they only served 3 dishes, nasi lemak, kuew tiow and porridge, although its free, i think its better to find breakfast elsewhere. Its a good hotel for people who is travelling and on business trip - short trip. Not recommended for family or couples.
