"We had a wonderful stay at Ipoh Hotel Santorini!
Highlights:
• The staff were extremely helpful and polite. Special thanks to the young Indian lady at the reception (sorry we didn’t catch your name) — she was amazing and very accommodating.
• We booked a room for 5 pax, which was a joint room with a shared bathroom. The facilities were very complete — kettle, hair dryer, towels, and more. The bed and linen were nice, clean, and comfortable. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and my parents really enjoyed it.
• There’s also a pool for guests to enjoy, and the property’s Santorini-inspired design is absolutely charming.
Overall:
A great place to stay in Ipoh — clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and with fantastic service. Highly recommended!"
"Wonderful and great stay! The room I got is premier and it’s so spacious! Loved the space and it’s very clean and cosy. The Jap restaurant downstairs the hotel serves great food and so convenient for a meal. There is also the Aaron station18 mall just behind the hotel with great shopping and food. All in all a great boutique hotel and location. Will stay here again when back next time. "
"Our room was compact but very functional. Great to have the extra hang out space in the lounge area and also kitchenette with access to drinking water. I will definitely book to stay here again next time I am in Singapore. "
