Amazing experience !

這是一家懷舊的精品酒店，地理位置優越，步行即可到達怡保美食。友善的工作人員，特別是前台，Redzuan

Trip.com 應該停止列出這家酒店。我的房間根本無法居住。空調無法給房間降溫，而且很悶。光線也很差。我下午 3 點登記入住，並決定在下午 5 點前前往另一家酒店，儘管我已經預付了 2 晚的房費。這是一處遺產，美觀程度也合理，但我無法忍受怡保炎熱潮濕的溫暖悶熱的房間。孤獨的值班人員無能為力。業主要么必須在基礎設施上投入更多資金，要么將價格至少降低一半。

Sarang Paloh 的外觀和感覺都很可愛。它有我們喜歡的舊世界風格。位置也很棒，距離車站十分鐘路程，靠近老城區的許多餐館和景點。 房間的風格很漂亮，你走過的花園也是如此。房間設施缺乏，沒有冰箱，也沒有保險箱，這是我們在這個價位上所期望的。淋浴的熱水不會持續很長時間，而且他們提供三合一沐浴露、洗髮水和護髮素，這也是我們在這個價位上沒想到的。酒店也不提供客房清潔服務。這可能是因為我們只住了兩晚，但這並沒有在網站上或辦理入住時傳達。這意味著用過的杯子或水瓶沒有被清理，垃圾箱也沒有被清空。我們也不知道當地入住酒店有折扣。 總而言之，這是一次不錯的住宿，但有幾個小問題使得這不值我們所付的錢。

Chambre sans fenêtres sur l’extérieur mais sur couloir éclairé toute la nuit masque obligatoire si vous voulez dormir et boule quies aussi entre la climatisation la rue les voisins et la mosquée c’est un environnement très très bruyant. Chambre et salle de bains spacieuses et propres. Lits confortables. Au second étage sans ascenseur donc un peu compliqué avec les bagages. Accueil sympathique mais pas de conseils. A choisir il vaut mieux prendre un hôtel avec piscine un peu à l’extérieur de la ville où sont les attractions. Le centre historique n’a aucun intérêt. Je déconseille fortement cette étape. Oublié Ipoh si vous le pouvez.

great location within the city, just a short walk from the Ipoh Railway Station, with plenty of attractions & food choices around the area. the facilities were ok but needs a little more improvement, the interior decorations were amazing, being transformed from an old shophouse to a modern homestay but retaining some of the old charm & landscapes. even the receptionist is polite & helpful. definitely worth it & will definitely return again on my next visit.

Probably the best and nicest place to stay in the heart of historic Ipoh. Very clean, convenient (an easy walk from the train station) and quirky - lots of character - each room different configuration and decor in this converted historic building. Enjoyed our stay. Staff very friendly too. We (as a couple) stayed in the smallest loft room which was small but perfect for us for a few nights. We left our reservation until late and it was the only room available over a weekend. The aircon was very effective (thankfully) as it was high temperatures and humidity during our stay even by local standards. Very clean and shower pressure great. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Ipoh (based upon other options we looked into) from both a location and amenity perspectives.

Paloh was a malay & orang asli (“native”) kampung (“village”) that has been around from at least the 18th century. Apparently the names comes from the founder of the village itself Toh Paloh. Paloh, or palung, also means a depression in the ground that holds water, or a fishing hole to catch fish. It is believed that Paloh was also a boat dock in the past. Some other views hold that the Hakka were the founders of Paloh, and only later came the Cantonese. According to this theory, the origin of the name is a symbolic reference to the dams that were constructed along the Kinta River for fishing purposes. These dams were referred to as “Pa-Lo” in the Cantonese dialect and eventually the area became known as Paloh. Paloh today has of course become the heart of the city of Ipoh. In this old part of the city pre-war Shop Houses line the streets, with a predominantly Chinese character. “Sarang” is a malay word meaning nest, hence “Sarang Paloh” means “The Nest in Paloh”, evoking the image of the hotel as a place of rest for the weary traveller. Located on Jalan Sultan Iskandar (formerly Hugh Low Street), Sarang Paloh is located in pre-war two storey shop houses that originally were the premises of a Goldsmith and a Bank more than 90 years ago. The façade of one of the buildings still has the name of the Goldsmiths on its façade in English, Chinese and Malay (jawi script), with the stately bank building still has the name of Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited on its front. Across the road, Sarang Paloh has another shophouse of which the ground floor has been converted into a carpark. If you have a car, this is where you would park. Parking is complimentary, but you must exercise caution, turning right into the shophouse entrance as Jalan Sultan Iskandar is a pretty high traffic road, and the building inside is quite narrow, with the cars having to be parked bumper to bumper, in two rows. Exit is out through the back of the shophouse into a back lane. Do bear in mind that if the shophouse is full of cars, you may get boxed in by other parked cars and not able to exit! Fortunately this did not happen to us while we stayed here. Getting to the hotel means having to cross the busy road again on foot, with your luggage, from the car to the hotel. The main reception area was in the former Goldsmith’s building, and the entire front of the shop house is dedicated to the reception. To get in the front door, you will need your access card, or the staff inside will have to let you in, if you have yet to check in. The central part of shop house is a courtyard with a spiral staircase going upstairs to the 2nd floor, and in the back is a sort of pantry area with dining table. Staircase at the back also leads upwards. We had booked a room at the back of the shophouse on the 2nd floor, as we were aware of reviews that rooms in front may have some street noise. The rooms are all named after birds, in line with the hotel itself being a “nest”. Our room wa
