Hotel O City Hostel Ipoh

The accommodation is value for money, I paid RM27 only for 1 night. The location is good, not so much concern on me because I drove my own car. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful to assist me to settle my enquiries and issues.

I encountered several issues while staying and I have some suggestions for improvement: 1. I stayed on Level 2, there was no body wash/shampoo/any soap provided in the bathrooms for guest, luckily I brought my own body was and shampoo. Appreciate if the Management can provide body wash & shampoo (in bottles or refillable dispenses) for everyone's use in each bathroom cubicle. 2. I stayed at Room No 2-3, the first 2 nights were a bit unpleasant as the aircond was not working at all, I was unsure if it was not working properly or switched off, hence there was no wind movement in my room and ventilation was so poor. I reported to the reception and was able to switch room to Room No 2-6 which was nearer to another working aircond. I would suggest to use standard ceiling fans or any fans to manage ventilation if the aircond is out of order. 3. Smelly shoe racks on Level 1 and 2 - suggest to use air fresheners in those areas. 4. The was no proper desk and chair for guests to use laptop and do work on. There were photos of facilities ie desks and chairs advertised on booking.com but in actual, the facilities were not there.

Good location, next to the train station and local bus terminal. Efficiently managed and maintained.

The walls separating each "room" don't go up to the ceiling and so you can hear every noise your neighbour makes. The guy in the room next to mine was a little peculiar. I got the impression that many of the guests were staying long term.

Location is Close to Railway Station..

The Wall between the rooms is thin and it could be noisy

Superb location near the bus terminal and railway station

Price

The mattress was hard but compared to prices, it is OK. Staff always not available during check in time especially at night. .
