Hotels near Kek Lok Tong Cave Temple and Zen Gardens

This is our 3rd time stay in their Studio room since last December 2014. Previously was booked through directly from Hotel, but this time round the hotel rate slightly higher than Agoda (the staff told maybe because of GST). My family members are very satisfy with Weil hotel. We stayed with them when they are rated 3 star till 4 star currently. I think they should rate as 5 star hotel soon cos some of their facilities are still under construction! From the very first step of the hotel: Bellman, valet parking, check in, room, restaurant food (breakfast or dinner) till the last step of check out, I give 10/10!!! The performance of every staffs are doing the best to every guests, I think they should well trained before their serving! We are going Ipoh every month, for sure we will come back this hotel and never change!!! Besides, I also very expected to use their upcoming facilities!!! (THUMBS UP)

Our 4 nights stay at the hotel were really worth it. Everyday staffs never miss to ask us whether we want the room to be cleaned. All staffs including guards were with smile, polite and friendly. Although the hotel did not serve breakfast, no need to worry as there are malay restaurants nearby to choose from. There is also self service laundry and clinic at the area. However, the hotel could improve on room and bathroom cleanliness. Other than that, all are satisfied for the reasonable price we pay. One piece of advice is to book through agoda as the price would be way cheaper compared to when you walk in to the hotel. Well done Golden Roof Hotel!

Hotel is near and accessible from Ipoh railway station, about rm6 - 7 with grab, also near to ipoh parade shopping centre. Less than half hour to Kek Lok Tong cave temple. Few dim sum restaurants / coffee shops just behind / near the hotel. Also about 15 min walk to the area where there is the famous chicken rice stall, other eateries, shops selling local food products, night street shopping (short street) which probably starts about 8pm. Room on high floor facing road (front of hotel) has good scenic view. Room does not have slippers. Welcome drinks at lounge provided via voucher (redeemable at stated hours). For the hotel pricing, the breakfast spread is not much however there are a couple of cooking stations for noodles, eggs. Breakfast table had ants. Hotel has shuttle service stop to lost world of tambun.

Stayed only for one night but very staisfied. Booked 2 rooms with interconnecting door. Mainly due to room size which size is quite generous, each bathroom got bathtub and best location to explore Ipoh city. Also we got complimentary parking at lower floors. Tried the swimming pool and quite like it, not too big or too deep. Bfast is also not bad and hotel staffs were very helpful. Recommended to all.

The location of the hotel is great! Near to almost everything! Shopping - Ipoh Parade (Parkson) Food - About 5mins to Ipoh Old Town Late snack - About 2mins to Syuen Hotel where there is a mini van with light snacks in front of the Karaoke Parks - DR Park is about 2mins away Sight-seeing - less than 20mins away to Kek Lok Si Temple but basically, it is near everything delicious!!

I booked this hotel for a 3 days 2 night stays for my parents. They perfectly enjoy their stay. The hotel is strategically located near the station 18 Aeon, within walking distant. Hence, shopping and finding food are totally not a problem at all. The staffs working in the hotel are very friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is one of the best boutique hotels I have ever came across in Malaysia.

I really enjoy my stay, the ambience really help to relax me and my fiancee a lot. We like the interior of the hotel, the towel animal they made on the bed, how the front counter people great us - so friendly, the security guard taking care of the guests'cars at night, the massage they provide - 20% off for in-house guests (both of us slept off, but unfortunately during the massage the neighbourhood was cutting the grass with the lawn mover which spoil the quiet environment), the bath-tub (which had a half transparent window high on top). I like the atmosphere when taking breakfast in their restaurant (not the typical one, with Zen ambience), though it is not like the usual one (you choose from their food list and they will cook for you when you arrive or send to your room as per request). I will come back again, definitely.

I book without breakfst. once proses c/in d reception , i got free breakfst. Im asking why, then the stuff said "hotel seri malaysia mmg akan bg skali breakfst walaupn book d agoda without breakfst. (dlm hati i mmg syukur sgt) tq hotel. Kolam renang kids ada, kolam renang dewasa pon ada.. Cafe? Yes!!! Cafe superb modern and mknan sume so yummy.. !! Staff cafe pon friendly.. Bilik family room sy ok kemas, bersih. Just suara tv skjp tengelam timbul.. Wifi dlm bilik x kuat mybe sbb jauh dri lobi. Some day i'll come again. In sha Allah

We booked a double superior but were only given a standard room with single beds as reception claimed Agoda had not provided booking details and they were full over Chinese New Year. That said, we were in the new wing and it was a very spacious room and well maintained, certainly when compared to similar star rated Malaysian hotels. Reception staff were always helpful with taxi bookings etc. The Breakfast included was Asian style buffet and wouldn't appeal to Western taste. The hotel was a little 'remote' but there were plenty of taxis on call to go into the City or to the various natural tourist attractions.

3 of us hired Ian to bring us for 1 day tour (food & sightseeing) with his car. he charged us rm40/hour. I must say that it is value for money. early in the morning,he brought us to residential estate for very good wat-tan-hor and cheap. after breakfast he brought to gua tempurung-a big cave. he then brought us to have chee-cheong-fun and otak-otak for lunch. they are home made and delicious too. ordinary tourists will never find these places. even they found it, they will have to wait for very long time to be served (min. 1 hour). as Ian has good relationship with them, we did not wait long. after that he brought to the famous white coffee-nam heong c-shop where we tried very good egg tart too. he brought to walk around old/new town of Ipoh and tasted fomous dessert named funny mountain "tou-hue"-bean curd. we bought some local tit-bits, and went back to hotel for a rest as the kid was a little tired. we went out for dinner with him after 2 hours rest. he brought us to a local food centre named "dong-gu-teng" where we a wide variety of local food and they are delicious too. we hired his service for total 8 hours and I must say that we have got everything done conveniently. he is so friendly that I would make a strongly recommendation.

the hotel is nicely decorated with a character, not easy to find similar hotel elsewhere. many couples like to take pre-wedding photos there room is quite comfortable and has everything you need the receptionist Eric is exceptional, I had question about the local transport to the cave and he gave me useful info the location is near airport and on the main road. near the hotel has supermarket and taking a taxi to old town is about 5-10mins

We booked only for a night over weekend. The hotel is new, clean & at a fairly good location. It's near Tesco & Aeon. Also a short distance drive to other tourist attractions (e.g. Old Ipoh Town, Concubine Lane, temple caves, all the famous eateries, etc, etc). The hotel staff were friendly & helpful. They serve good breakfast at the New Yorker Cafe too. The cafe is quite a cozy place with friendly & courteous staff. The cons are; room quite small & we could smell smoke in our room despite all rooms being non-smoking. Not sure where it came from though. However, they responded fast by offering to spray air fresher in our room, well, at least action was taken. Aside from these 2 areas, the rest are fine. Overall it's a good place to stay for short holidays.

The hotel surprisingly upgrade my room to Brewster Executive Suite from Brewster Studio. Room is super spacious with jacuzzi that can fits 2 person in the room. Well service from the front desk staff. Ordered in room dining but need to wait around 30-40 minutes. Nice view at the infinity pool and The Lawn. In addition, they have special lounge at Level 12 for all level 12 guest, that’s lovely and convenient. Anyhow, the choices not as much as the Ground floor lounge but it’s more than enough for us.

We got the family room with 2 queen beds. The room was bigger than expected. Very comfortable for us travelling with 2 teenagers. The location is slightly off town but was very near the cave temples. It was only a short drive away from food outlets e.g. McD, KFC & Starbucks. There are other f&b places nearby. The only issue I had was the toilet... it should provide hooks on the walls, on the dry side. Also, they should install spotlights for their allocated parking area. It's rather dark. Overall, we find this hotel pleasant.

I booked the room on the same day of arrival. My wife is attending a medical conference in another hotel in ipoh . We have to be there early morning next day.since the room is fully booked so we decided to stay in aestana a day befor the conference. We came with 2 small kids 1yr n 3yr old n arrived around 1am after departed frm kl at 9pm. The staff were very helpful n they were expecting us at the front door. They helped us with the luggage n accompany my wife n my sleepy kids to the room immediately. the check out was fast n the staff gave us a good direction to the conference hotel. Room is although small but its clean n makes us feel safe n satisfied with the reasonably cheap hotel rate that we paid. Thank you.

Location is good, in the center of town. Near to major facilities such as the General Hospital, Sri Maju Bus Station, and the Airport. Not to mention there's a lot of renown and cheap local delicacies within 5 to 10 km. Wifi speed is excellent as well! The hotel ISP is Time Fibre and I believed it is either a 30 Mbps or 50 Mbps as I did a speed test on my phone. I tried to book a room (on 13th Oct night, I arrived earlier) but their credit card machine malfunction and I don't have enough cash on me, the staff proposed a brilliant idea that I can pay for a room at half rate for half day so that I can accommodate one night before the booked date. This is a very good service and problem solving there. There's only one minor issue with the staying, the toilet door. The door cannot be lock, unsure if it is intentional or forgotten because there's a marking left on the door frame indicate it is to be removed for toilet door lock. Bad idea for family or friends staying in one room.

This is my third time stay at this hotel. If you are a solo traveller and a very private person, looking for a room for stay for 1 person, do look out for this hotel. The price is very affordable, and make sure booked from Agoda. The price is similiar to sharing @ dorm room. The place is quite easy to find. Only that it is far from Ipoh Town. About 20-30 mins to reach Ipoh town. But it is okay for me because of the price. The room is comfortable, have water heater, aircond was very cold, and I have a very good sleep. It is just that the wifi us very slow, and the mobile internet receiving was very poor, that i almost explode when I cant load, especially for Instagram apps 😂. Overall, there is more pros than cons staying at this place. Will definitely come and stay again. Oh ya, please bring along your own hanger, as there are no hanger provided in the room. Not sure whether can ask for it, but just bring along for your own safety 😁

to begin with, this must be the most comfortable budgeted hotel rooms we ever stayed in. we booked the cheapest room (twin room without window) and to our suprise it is not another matchbox, the room is spacious, shower is great and the design was lovely. as this hotel had a cafe counterpart, while we did not ordered anything, the pricing looked decent. the staffs were really friendly and helpful as well! parking is not a hassle as there are ample parking spots available. the only downside to this hotel is that, it is a 5-10 min drive away from the city center, unless u plan to take a cab/ drive, it is not as convenient as the other budgeted hotel. however, we do like the quiet ambience (it is located just outside the city center afterall)

hotel is a bit of a misnomer for this wonderful gem in an unexpected location - in a suburban residental area. it feels more like a private holiday home that you've been invited to stay in while the owners are away. there is no formal check-in, you book and pay through agoda and upon arriving at the hotel, show them your receipt and you'll be handed your keys. there was only one person around, a smiley young guy who spoke little english so if you're hoping to get some local tips on places to eat/go/things to do, you best rely on google. wifi is free in all the rooms, connection is fairly fast and stable. we met the owner's wife the next morning, a lovely lady who tipped us off on where to go for dim sum and it turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. we also found out that she and her husband are furniture manufacturers (their factory is in bukit merah, she offered to take us there) which explains all the stunning, unique wooden furniture that decorates the place. would definitely stay here again on my next visit to ipoh and highly recommend it. note: rooms don't come with breakfast, you have to request and pay separately. we didn't, hence the 'poor' rating - because there is no 'na' button

Love the clever design of this boutique hotel. From the design of the facade to the doors right up to the rooms. Everything is provided in the room and the super clean bath n toilet with rain shower. The material use is like 5 stars luxury hotel. The toilet floor tiles is so classy looking. If thrown in super soft cotton towels this hotel will be the best in whole of Ipoh. Their cafe Cawanmu next door is very nice for enjoying breakfast. Although the breakfast spread is minimal but very adequate and of good quality. Bought their Coffee Swiss roll and its delicious! Their service staff is excellent. Everyone of them is so friendly. Thanks! Location is around 15-20 minutes drive to town but not a drawback when this hotel is really value for money for what they provide.

i have nothing to complain. Everything is value for money. Strategic location just across AOEN shopping mall, beautiful interior, comfortable beds, clean & new hotel (clean toilet is a plus point!) Kiblat sign for prayer is available in the room. However, there is no appropriate space for prayer (the only space available is just right beside the toilet). Perhaps the management can consider to prepare a prayer room (surau) in the hotel then i would give a full 5 marks for this hotel! will stay again. The best 2star hotel thus far.

Well i stay at this hotel 3 nights for business trip, and for solo travelling it is quite good. Clean room and friendly staff, it just that you don't have much choice on the cable TV channels. Wifi provided, quite fast and it is advisable if you could bring along your own cable extension (the room i stayed has power socket way far from my bed, even a laptop charger could not stretch enough). Overall it is a good place to rest after a whole day working :)
