Staying in Non smoking room(with smoke free signboard in the room) but the room filled with cigarette smell, complaint to the staff but they said nothing they can do. Requested to change to another room but still another smelly room with cigarette smell. Clearly the hotel management didn't bother or take any action about smoking in the Non smoking room.

It invites you to think about its bygone days

I stayed here for 2 nights last week. I want to say Le Metrotel is the type of place where they offered \"old fashioned service\". The older gentleman manning the front desk during the day (who I guess is the hotel manager?) is your typical friendly 'uncle' type. He'll accommodate with any requests that you have. The same hold trues for the service ladies - who are also your typical older 'aunties' type.

Unfortunately, the hotel itself - outside of the lobby which is deceivingly refreshed - has seen its best days already. The bathroom is particularly old, and the towels even older. The lack of free toiletries was surprisingly, given that it's usually a standard freebie in Asia. I stayed in a standard room and the room itself was comfortable, if unspectacular. As others have mentioned, the night market is right next to the hotel.

If you're in Ipoh for an overnight stay, without a car, and you're looking for a budget stay for the night market, this hotel may be for you. Otherwise, you may want to try exploring your options.

We choice this hotel, because of the nice location, close to the famous food shop, but unhappy is not enough car park parking for us, their car park may give to public, so when we back to car park, no more parking for us, need to tell the hotel staff and want to move the car later, very disappointed!

Great location but very small room and noisy.

The only reason to stay in this hotel is its location. All the famous dishes around Ipoh are in walking distance. The hotel also provided an open air private parking place, so you don't have to worry about finding a place to park your car. Room is very small that even with 2 person in the room you feel crowded, and for the same price I believe you can get a bigger room somewhere else.no refrigerator in room, only a liquid soap is provided in the toilet, and it was for both body shower and hair shampoo. The shower curtain is dirty. I can hear the noise of the traffic from my room (at 2nd floor). No carpet in the corridor and poor sound-proofing as you can hear peoples walk and talk outside your room.

The best location ever for Ipoh's famous food!

Le Metrotel is located right in the centre of Ipoh's best eating places. Whatever time of day it is, there is something very good to eat here. All the big & famous names of Ipoh's best are near. And even those takeaways of salted chicken and special biscuits are next door or within a short 5 minute walk.

The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and very clean. The room is small but is adequate. The bathroom is really too small but is clean and looks new and pleasant. The air conditioning worked very well. For the room rate it is a wonder!

The staff are really helpful in pointing out to you the locations of the best restaurants to go to. Specific mention for Jessy who is super enthusiastic about that.

Choosen this hotel is because of good review from other. Found out it is really a nice hotel. Near the town, and also have a night market near by. Didn't spend too much time at the hotel actually. Everything needed is provided. As my title, is small but all is provided. Suitable place for ppl that only demand on a place to sleep. A little disappointed on the cleanses of it. Keep feeling got sand on the floor of the room even the bathrooms. Not sure is it the materials of the floor cause it. Overall of it are satisfied. Get a good night sleep after a whole day fun.

Parking was provided for free (they had an open space carpark) which was great as parking in ipoh was hard to find unless u r willing to pay extra.

Pleasantly surprised

Actually had a pretty pleasant stay here a few nights ago. My girlfriend and I had two single beds pushed together instead of a double, so that was a little disappointing, but the rest of the hotel itself was great. Beautiful entrance/lobby, super clean and very kind staff. Unfortunately they weren't able to help us book our bus to KL (had to walk about 30 minutes to bus station). They did call us a taxi to go to some of the cave temples. Also, the neighborhood really has very little to offer in the way of restaurants. Found Purple Cane nearby and ate there almost exclusively...really incredible food for a fairly low price.
