Excellent location though parking is tight. The person parked below our elevated car forgot to leave his keys behind and we waited abt 20 mins for him to come down and drive his car away so that we could retrieve our car.
Otherwise the stay was pleasant though at some points we cld hear our neighbours talking rather loudly.

Excellent hotel. The service of this hotel was outstanding. The staff here, go out of their way to help you. The best customer service I've ever received! Special shout out to Rebecca on reception!
The room itself was very comfortable and I had a great view of the river! Room amenities were also great! The shower gel smells divine! And the tv includes free movies, which was a nice added bonus.

it’s walkable to the old town and food options.

Room was comfortable and a decent size. Nice view of river. Short walk to station. The only thing wrong with the stay was the breakfast. It would be ok but all the hot foods where either cold or lukewarm. A fridge would also be an advantage to keep drinks cool. Overall we would stay again.

Renovated rooms are super. Parking is cumbersome but managed well by guards.

Functional hotel in the old town, feels a bit like a Holiday Inn (UK) which does the job but with no frills. Room was big and clean, shower was nice and powerful, TV in the room OK.
We had breakfast one morning which wasn’t included in our room rate, we were asked to accompany our server to the reception to pay the bill, felt a little bit of overkill given we could have just paid it on check out.
Staff generally very helpful though and the hotel was fine for a couple of nights, for a longer stay I would recommend somewhere a bit more comfortable.

It was oddly organised check-in. I was pestered to choose breakfast at 15:00 the previous day.
There were only 2 power points in the room. A window latch was very broken.
Mostly it was very comfortable

If you come with car, forget about this hotel. Totally forget about it. Find other hotel. The parking provided is worst. I came with my family, 2 cars. One is suv, another one myvi. The suv can't fit in the stacked parking (they use 2 level stacked parking), while they say myvi can fit, but apparently myvi also can't fit. Then they asked you to park wherever the hell guest parking for hotel which was not in hotel compound. After park, you need to walk 3-5 minutes to hotel. And there's only like less than 15 parking spot in hotel parking area. Furthermore, there's one so called OKU parking spot which we were not allowed to park there. Fine. Then come one Porsche swooped in and park there. The guard didn't even say anything. So double standard. If the services this poor, why charge so expensive for a room. Room also small. Aircond also take time to feel cold. Just charge RM100 then we won't be so angry with this kind of poor services.

The hotel is in a great location and our room has a beautiful view of the river. It was very quiet and comfortable. The lobby is connected to a 7-Eleven convenient store, which is very nice. The stuff members were all very friendly and professional. The newly opened breakfast dining hall on the 12th floor has a spectacular view of the city. We would be just as happy to sip our coffee and enjoy the beautiful view all morning long. The servers there were very sweet and they made sure that we were all well taken care of. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay there again.

We do enjoyed our stay at Citetel! Convenient location, easy access to both Old & New Town! Near good restaurants! Great staff! Fantastic breakfast!!
8.0 / 10.0
Hotel has been refurbished so looks nice, chic, comfortable. The room closet was an open concept, interesting. The cafe floor was still being refurbished when we were there.
Staff and security guards were friendly. As the parking lots are limited, the hotel utilizes lifts to allow for 2 cars to occupy the same spot. The guards were helpful when we needed to park.
The high water pressure from the bath shower was the best!
Location is within walking distance of a variety of cafes, coffee shops, a food court, pubs and tourists attractions. A 7Eleven, which connected to the hotel lobby was convenient for a getting a quick drink or snack.
There was a wide selection of free movies so the tv was stuck to that channel.
A water cooler was available in the corridor. If you needed to boil water, there was a kettle in the room.

The hotel is old. They are trying to do some renovations. The pillows smell like sweat, the bed is dirty. Towels are old and dirty. Didn’t feel comfortable at all.

Be ware of the hidden cost 'Tourism Tax' which is not mentioned on booking site.
Not much restaurants around the area at night. This is an old street town, you need to go to new street town for all popular dining.

The hotel is much closer to the train station than it looks on the map. One can easily walk to the hotel from the train
station with no problem. We arrived in the dark and when it was raining hard and had to take the taxi to the hotel. In the morning when we walked round the area we found the hotel really close to shops and restaurants in the city. The only problem is the bus or long distance coach station is a long way off the city and almost half an hour's taxi ride. You want to catch the coach to Cameron Highlands beware of the distance of the coach terminal and the city and give yourself plenty of time.

As you enter the hotel lobby and the room, there is a very nice fragrance that the hotel uses. There is a 7-11 store that is next to the hotel - very convenient. Hotel Staff are friendly and efficient. Hotel's location is a short walk to the old town of Ipoh where there are many eateries and shops to buy traditional foods. Not much amenties available - eg no shampoo or conditioner given, no room slippers or laundry bag given. Housekeeping staff need to be trained - to ensure that the room is properly cleaned and made up, towels are removed and changed daily, toilet bowls are cleaned properly, I did provide feedback to the reception staff and they were very efficient that they immediately contacted the housekeeping supervisor and rectified the matter. Was very pleased with the reception staff's attitude and efficiency.

One of the worse hotels I ever stayed. The receptionist soo was rude. A fat lady, not willing to answer your question at all. Talk like we owe her money. After that, parking is another nightmare. So little and narrow. once we park have to hand over the key to them. they will repark our cars as they wish. won't recommend this hotel at all. there are plenty of nice hotels around there. if they give me a free stay also I would not consider to stay there again.

The main entrance opens right on a busy street. Other than that it is a great location.

Central location at Chinatown is all this room about. It is also clean. Why there is always a smell in room? Walking distance to old street town n train station. Helpful n friendly staff.

The location is strategic. We booked a room for 4 adults, but toiletries sets only has 2 sets. There is no charging plugs by the beds. Only at the study/make up/coffee table. So this is a problem for all 4 adults trying to charge our gadgets. a bit inconvenient.
We booked with breakfast included. It is a very simple breakfast which is alright, unfortunately, the coffee served is already mixed with sugar. We end up leaving without coffee. Unhappy.
Lastly, the parking space is very limited and tight.
6.0 / 10.0
The parking is lousy! The double tier parking is not just inconvinient but also risky. Electricity tripped off while i was getting ready to attend a function. The hair dryer which was attached to the power point caused it when i switched it on. The deposit of RM50 collection was so back dated. They dont accept any other form of payment other than cash. Like come on, we are in 2022. At least a QR payment ? What if you have customer's checking in middle of night and have no cash or credit card. You expect them to walk to the nearest bank? Cititel used to be one of the good service provider but the standards has terribly gone down. Do something according to the evolution.
8.0 / 10.0
Always a pleasant stay here, hotel rooms are clean with in-room movie channels. Staffs are friendly and always greet with a smile, security guards too!
Plus point, water pressure is great!
Only downside, no fridge/chiller in the room.

Checking in is strictly at 3pm and registration process is rather slow. But otherwise this hotel is value for money located in the quiet part of old town close to Concubine Street and Ipoh Padang/Birch Memorial Clock. Grab car takes you anywhere in Ipoh at low cost.

The hotel is a short walking distance to the train station and also near to many eateries shops and cafes. Very convenient.

Walking distance to many attractions.
The hotel provides additional car parking area across street , if the one at the property is full.
4.0 / 10.0
The hotel is situated right at a cross junction. There is a 7-11 directly below the hotel, which is great when you need to get stuffs urgently.. The hotel is easily walkable to nearby eateries as well as train station if luggage is not too heavy. Love the huge selection of movies on the TV. Will probably not get enough time to finish watching all the shows.

Stay for a night. Reasonable price.
