The Happy 8 Retreat @ Old Town Ipoh Reviews

Always a lovely stay here. Suresh is excellent and attentive, it’s clean, stylish and peaceful.

Bad environment. No reception. Broken water tap and toilet.

Quaint boutique hotel. Obviously a labour of love. Superb location. Fab peranakan restaurant! Got takeaway to bring back to Singapore next morning.

Location is amazing as it is right smack in the middle of Ipoh Old Town which made a lot of the attractions within walking distance of said hotel. However, that also meant that there was loud karaoke & music playing in the nearby streets until around 2am in the morning but this is really out of the control of said boutique shoplot hotel. Water pressure was excellent & the hotel itself is filled with art. Unfortunately, the bed mattress was rather thing & hard. Pleased to report that there is a hairdryer provided in the ensuite bathroom. Due to room sound insulation and lack of mattress comfort, I shall consider other hotels in the future for future Ipoh trips (if any) for a more pleasant night's rest.

Short walk from the train station.

GOOD LOCATION, BUT POOR SOUND INSULATION

Nice place to stay but got no privacy can hear outside. No wifi .

Good location, poor maintained, shower is leaking, look elsewhere if you want a decent stay. A bench in a park is almost on par as this hotel . Lobby does look impressive. But the room is super dirty and need to fix.

Washroom have many baby cockroaches come out while showering🫠 also the ceiling have 🐭 running at midnight. Location and design all good but maybe it’s just an old shoplot, arrived around 5:30 and there was no one and needed to call the second num to get inside, there were 3 floors. Very hard to sleep at night with the hard mattress, been travelling to many places so far this is the first place that I hardly sleep in at all🙊 it’s good but won’t come back here anymore. The shower pump also broken and water only come out from 1 leaked corner.

We loved this hotel, it’s at good locations, especially the bar near the hotel, very good band. But it’s poor sound insulation, hope can do some improvement.

The place is noisy because it is close to the tourist area. The location is good

Location is good. It was easy to reach out to tourist attraction points. But the hygiene was not good enough. Also, it was quite noisy.

Location is superb! Cafe right next door does a amazing coffee!

Toilet light are a bit dark, and the wall of the toilet look dirty
