DoSomething Guest House 5

Great location by all the foodspots, great host and convenient check in and out

It was very easy to communicate with the owners, and they kindly allowed us to check in early as we took a night bus over to Ipoh. The location was convenient enough too (short walk to the old town and all the good food around!). The place itself was really cute and clean. We had a comfortable stay and would be back again if we're in Ipoh!

Was surprised that WiFi was not provided in this day and age at the guesthouse, but not a biggie since we were on a holiday so it was nice to get off our phones.

- Smooth check-in. We took the key from the owner at the cafe and the stairs to the guest house is inside the cafe. - The room itself looks good, very clean and the bathroom is nice as well. - We were provided with ear buds, so we kind of expecting for it to be quite noisy at night since there's a market there. Turns out it's not noisy at all. - Location is strategic. You can walk too if you want to go to the famous Concubine Lane etc, but with Msia's weather, we decided to go by car. - Overall, I am satisfied with it.

The only thing that I think can be improved and to make the money I spent here much worthy, is to add another mirror in the room and not only for the bathroom. Well, I ada rabun jauh, so it is a bit hassle to wear contact lens + make up with sink in between. I appreciate it if there's any mirror lah near the window to get the natural lighting too.

The cleanliness, friendly staff and great location

Each rooms have very nice and unique design. The owner is friendly and nice

Centrally located, staff is very kind and check-in was very smooth (if you drive, make sure to reach the hotel before 5pm since on the same road there is a street market everyday from 5.30 onwards and you won't be able to reach the hotel by car after that). Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Check-in and checkout time are good. There is a cafe on ground floor, where you can have good breakfast.

We were warned at check-in about the possibility of hearing noise during the night, and earplugs were provided, but it was unfortunately too much noise to sleep comfortably. Not an hotel's problem, anyway, since noise came from a nearby club that unnecessarily played music until 4pm, and there was a stray dog barking for quite a while. What hotel could do is maybe, in the future, improve soundproofing of the rooms. Finally, bathroom could be slightly improved (e.g., by adding a shower curtain).
