French Hotel

Great location, just adjacent to memory lane where the Sunday flea market happens. Lots of eateries (KFC, pizza hut, cafes, restaurants), within walking distance. The hotel cafe serves breakfast at 10RM, the quantity is a bit less though. Cafe is beautifully designed though. King size beds are huge and super comfortable. The staff is super helpful. Very central location and walking distance to Mural Lane and concubine lane. Grab taxi is immediately available and normal taxis are always stationed in front of the hotel. 7/11 is just besides the hotel as well. The Perak cave and the Sam Poh Tong cave complex/Mirror lake are sort of equidistant from this location. Wifi was quite good too.

The room is spacious, clean and comfy! The bed sheet no smell at all compared to other 3-4 stars famous hotel that we were stayed before. The toilet is very clean! The king bed size very big & comfort for 2 adults 2 child.We are very satisfied & definitely repeat again. Recommended!

The parking is located outside of the hotel in open space area, distance app 20-30m distance. The shower water pressure was quite slow.

I personally think French Hotel is way better than some of the 3-star town / city hotel that I've stayed before. Location wise is good, it's nearby the Ipoh Parade, about 4-5mins driving distance from the happening area at night. Hotel staffs are friendly and attentive. I like the security of the hotel, anyone who would like to enter the lobby, will need to ring the bell, hotel guest can enter with the room key card. I love the handmade map at the main lobby, it definitely help the guests to explore around easily, especially those who would love to walk and explore. We stayed in room 310, the room is spacious, the bed is Super King, bathroom is clean, just that the lighting is not bright enough to my personal preference, but overall is ok. Aircond is LOVE, as we both likes cooling ambience. I read some of the reviews mentioned can't adjust the air-cond temperature, which is incorrect info. In fact we can adjust the temperature and fan speed of the aircond. Oh! There's a mini fridge in the room! Plus point for a 2-star hotel.

You can hear noise from outside the room, which could be annoying at times when you are resting and sleeping.

Located less than 2km from Ipoh train station, French Hotel is good for both business and leisure. Friendly reception staff Amelia let us checked in although we arrived early on Saturday. Stayed in two spacious twin rooms with front view on the fifth floor for one night. Restaurants and eateries (bean sprouts chicken rice, dimsum, Tong Sui Kai & Pablo 101, etc), pastries shops and night market (Gerbang Malam) are within 10 minutes’ walk. On Sunday morning, there’s a market (PASAR KARAT @ MEMORY LANE @ PASAR LOKEN) just around the corner.

Nothing.

The hotel is by a busy road, but I didn’t hear much traffic noise in my room and was able to sleep well. Good location, you can walk around the city from the hotel. The train station is within walking distance too, but with luggage it may be better to take a grab (it was very cheap). Mini fridge in the room. I arrived around 12 pm and staff let me check in as my room was ready. I was able to store luggage after checking out, until evening.

On Sunday morning, there is a flea market right next to the hotel. The sellers started playing loud repetitive music at 5:30 am, it was very annoying!

Good value for money, clean and comfy, nice location

Street market right next to our window early in the morning with loud music

Clean, helpful staff, location is close to multiple restaurants and center

Tiny lift space, insufficient lights in room, shower floor tiles were slightly slippery

Nice clean room and comfortable bed

View outside the window was on a toilet of opus site building, a little bit noisy in the evening

So much like for the water pressure 👍🏻👍🏻, the cleanliness of the room, near to convinience store, dobby, kfc pizza, restaurant & right infront of the hotel door is the taxi stand. Check-in & out were so smooth, very good customer service from front desk and friendly staff 😊👍🏻👏🏻

1. Parking is free(coupon given by the hotel for guest only) but the parking area is a bit further from the hotel & that place is dark at night, no lights at all unless from the roadside only. Comin back from jalan² at 1030pm, parked our car and immidiately run from car park to hotel because we both sooo takuttt & seram 😂😂

The French Hotel is a 2-star hotel with 5-star amenities and 7-star customer care! Our room was much bigger than expected, comfy and pleasant with more than sufficient number of power outlets. The housekeeping team kept their high standard of housekeeping throughout our 2 weeks stay, making sure we always returned to a clean, well-kept room with all the required toiletries. Even the long corridor carpet was always kept clean and spotless. Excellence seems to be the norm standard throughout the hotel.

There were a couple of nights where the noise level was rather irritating when there were a family or two with young children in the rooms adjacent making quite a racket even way past 11pm.
