Dimitri T WAC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh — A Pleasant Stay with Room for Improvement
Our check-in experience was a breeze! Although our room wasn’t ready upon arrival, we were able to leave our luggage with the bell team and head out for lunch at Ipoh Parade, which is just a stone’s throw away, directly opposite the hotel.
While enjoying lunch at around 2 PM, we received a message informing us that our room was ready. Very efficient!
We returned to complete our check-in. No miscellaneous deposit was required, although the city tax had to be paid upon arrival. This was clearly stated during my booking through Trip.com, so there were no surprises.
The room itself was lovely! It was comfortable, well-designed and, most importantly for me, free from any cigarette smoke smell. The bathroom deserves special mention — excellent shower facilities and a very thoughtful layout.
Housekeeping — An Area for Improvement
Whenever I stay at a hotel, I don’t require daily housekeeping. I prefer to leave the Do Not Disturb sign on my door and request cleaning only when necessary.
We checked in on Monday, and on Wednesday I removed the sign and requested housekeeping before heading out for lunch and a walk around Ipoh.
Upon returning, I noticed that the bed had been made and the towels replaced. However, the rest of the room appeared untouched. There was no visible floor cleaning, and our used drinking glasses had not been washed or replaced.
Perhaps this reflects the hotel’s housekeeping procedures, but in my experience staying at various hotels, room cleaning normally involves more than simply making the bed and replacing towels.
This was disappointing, especially considering that I had specifically requested housekeeping rather than daily service.
Breakfast
The breakfast buffet offered a relatively modest selection rather than an extensive spread. Personally, I found this perfectly acceptable, especially for guests who prefer a lighter breakfast.
Check-out and Luggage Assistance
Check-out itself was straightforward, but one aspect worth mentioning is the lack of proactive luggage assistance.
At the lobby, nobody approached us to offer help with our luggage. Guests with large or heavy suitcases should be prepared to manage them independently, including taking them down the escalator to the front entrance where airport transfers and other transport pick up passengers.
For a hotel carrying the Marriott name, a little more attention to luggage assistance would certainly enhance the departure experience.
Overall Experience
Despite these observations, I enjoyed my stay at AC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh.
The efficient room notification, pleasant accommodation, excellent shower facilities and convenient location were definite highlights.
There is room for improvement in housekeeping consistency and guest assistance during departure, but these are areas that can certainly be addressed.
Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoyed my return to Ipoh after more than 30 years. The city has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the people are genuinely friendly.
Thank you, AC Hotel by Marriott Ipoh, for your hospitality. And thank you, Ipoh, for a memorable visit!

Guest UserThe hotel’s design is thoughtfully done, although the bathroom is a little small. In the twin room, there were no plugs or power outlets near the bed further inside the room, so we had to charge our devices by the TV, which was rather inconvenient.
What I appreciated most was the excellent attitude of the entire staff. Everyone was so friendly and greeted us with warm smiles. There was an issue with the airport transfer arrangement, but the front desk staff apologized and thoughtfully arranged some refreshments for us. That was a really nice touch!
On the second day, we were pleasantly surprised to find a swan made out of towels in our room. Such a lovely touch!

Guest UserAll good. The nearby restaurants are easily accessible though still need to walk. A little walk can access the Woong Kee beancurd. Very nice. The Sanxii Claypot Ipoh is also my favourite. Then, slightly further at Palo 101, the Japanese food and Beans Factory Ipoh would other good choices.

JazzyRinA great hotel for business travelers with family. The room was quiet and comfortable, allowing my parents and I to rest well. The staff were efficient and professional, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. The calm ambience made it easy to relax after work.

Andx517I tried it here because the name of Wyndham, Check in lobby was out of our expectations where it doesn't feel like a 4 stars hotel. It feels like an apartment instead.
We came in a family of 5 and their 2 room unit fitted us nicely. The rooms were clean and new and one of the bathrooms comes with a bathtub.
Breakfast was simple and there was room for improvement. Kids complain no egg station😅 , it's more to 3 stars standard. But fair enough to make you full.
Overall it was a pleasant short stay but there are rooms for improvement. Will consider coming back again .

LuotuoThe hotel is located on the edge of the old town, with the front desk and restaurant both on the 12th floor. It's about 380 meters to Concubine Lane, roughly a 6-minute walk. The interior decor and furnishings are relatively new, but it's a bit inconvenient that there are no lights or power outlets by the bed.

Guest UserClean rooms. But when room door is open/shut, it creates a vacuum in the room that makes the windows vibrate. Also, should have installed double layer glass window panes or noise reduction screens because noise pollution from the street is clearly heard. Air conditioner couldn’t be reset as the control panel was locked resulting in us having to sleep without AC the entire night. We didn’t want to call maintenance because it was past midnight when we returned to our room.

M Boutique Hotel has a beautiful eclectic design which captures the attention the moment I walked in.
The gentleman who processed my check in is a friendly chap with good service and is willing to help me with my request. The other counter staff are helpful and had excellent service too.
The room is clean and amenities are sufficiently good. The bed and pillow have just the right balance between hardness and softness.
The Japanese restaurant serves pretty nice set lunch too.
Some things that can be improved:
The gym can do with an FTS machine and the interior smelled abit stale.
I encountered a small cockroach in my room on the day where I was about to check out.

Anonymous UserIt was ok, very basic. Lots of drinking water.
Cons:
- Bathroom could do with upkeep, massive hole between door and door frame. Should be a full sized door. Not hygienic.
- Two single beds but they are tiny. Not comfortable for two adults to sleep in.
- Small TV, not even a modern TV. For hotels price, should at least have a decent TV.
- Soundproofing not great but was quiet during our time.
- music in hallways was kept on all night, we had to tell them to turn it off...
- we could smell smoke inside our room & bathroom from other people smoking in their rooms
- Breakfast was AWFUL, even if included it's better to go out for food. Hygiene in buffet for breakfast was poor, with flies in the fruit and salad.
- Front desk staff not very supportive or helpful.

MalaziEverything about this hotel is great, except it's right next to the highway, which makes it incredibly noisy. I couldn't sleep all night because of the constant traffic. The soundproofing is really, really bad.
They even provided earplugs, which says a lot! 😂
The room decor is stylish and the mattress is excellent, but it's just so, so loud...
Cleanliness: Both the toilet and the room were very clean.
