It was newly refurbished when we stayed here so everything looked good. This is a no-frills kind of place, but is clean and comfortable. If a comfy, clean bed is all you need, than this is it. We love the powerful shower and free, covered parking. Best of all, it is within walking distance to all the major eateries. At... More

But: aircon is not adjustable, fridge and wardrobe are not existant, toiletries are guesthouse standard, kettle is provided with a mere... More

We found the hotel a little bit overpriced when we booked it (couldn't find anything cheaper though that we actually liked) but when we arrived, we realized that it was one of the best hotels in this price range in Ipoh. The building is new, new furniture, very spacious room, flatscreen TV with English channels (believe me, you'll use it,... More

My family & I spent our new year holidays in Ipoh and we booked online a hotel that is convenient to all good eateries and souvenir (read: pomelos, Hiang Peng and Ipoh white coffee) shops. Hotel Eastern is a good choice in terms of location. However, though the hotel has been renovated recently, our executive room's armchair and cabinets looks... More

Tried to book a few hotels with swimming pool but all were either full or left with very expensive rooms. I ended up booking a deluxe suite at Eastern Hotel, which comes with a queen bed and a single bed, just nice for my family. Location: This hotel is located in the center of Ipoh town. McD is just less... More

We stayed here for a night. It was a really good deal, RM88 a night right smack in the middle of town. We called ahead to book and based on the reviews here, we requested rooms facing the alley, away from the roads. When we were shown our room, firstly it was facing the road. The room had also not...
