Hotels Near Arena Square Kuala Kangsar in Kota Lama Kiri

Basic accommodations. Decent room size, larger than most. Furnishing dated, due for upgrade. Direct hot water heater /shower, shower area tiled but no curtain/door, thus bathroom tend to be wet. Coffee, tea and bottled water provided. TV with some Astro channels. Wifi was ok, probably only because the router was just outside the room. Breakfast provided was basic; nasi lemak, fried noodles, baked beans, bread and some kueh. Location just beside the Lake Gardens, outside of the town centre, so less traffic noise during the night. Was given a room near the swimming pool, so was woken up quite early due to the noise from the children having a morning pool play.(probably again because of school holidays) Overall, value for the room size, got a reasonable night rest.

My wife and I recently made our way to Taiping which was where she grew up. This trip was therefore akin to a post-pandemic pilgrimage of sorts to revisit her roots. We had high expectations and the Flemington Hotel did it's part to deliver on an overall good experience. Wendy Yong, the Front Desk Manager was generous with her time and very hospitable. The hotel was slightly weathered by time but the customer experience and location by the Lake Gardens was superb. It was also within walking distance of a range of hawker fare. I'd recommend a lake-facing room for an excellent view.

Checked in, had to pay immediately which is unusual..small room for 2 and very very basic, a/c blowing smelly air on my head and immediately I felt it was going to be a difficult stay. Asked to be moved to what turned out to be the honeymoon suite. Again super-basic for 120rm extra per night but good size for elderly mum and I sharing a king bed (quilt was queen?). One towel each, no face towel, one floor mat. Aware that daily room clean is available but had read of things going missing for other visitors so abstained - no safe. No breakfast and no real facilities to cook for yourself. Really? Town is only a 5 minute drive but for every meal, it’s a big drag. We brought fruit back to our room as there is a little fridge. Room interior needs serious upgrade as it’s dark, dreary and a bit spooky at night. Some silly villa design features: - open wardrobe in path of one bedside means you keep hitting your head on the hangers on the way to your side of the bed - same bedside had no light of its’ own - hardwood bed corners need to be marked so we don’t keep hitting our toes at night - a shower curtain would stop the whole bathroom floor and toilet getting wet every time one has a shower - the outdoor balcony steps are so steep and close to barrier that if you lost your footing in the poorly-lit outdoor area, you’d fall right over the balcony side. - nowhere to put bath items needed when showering - a little shelf wd do. Front desk staff are helpful where they are able to be, but place felt a bit lifeless, esp. as there is no communal eating area. No faulting the spectacular settings but forget dipping your feet in the water nearby let alone having a swim. Barbed wire and preventative rock embankments (newly installed according to my mum who visited at least twice before - 2011 and 2017) sully the desire to cool off or to really immerse yourself in the setting. To be fair, it is a natural spring that provides fresh water to the people of Taiping so won’t argue on that front. Saw monkeys, butterflies, snake-shaped fern, huge millipede, multivaried greenery. This place has so much potential but it feels as if we are discouraged from enjoying the natural surrounds as much as we’d like…a bit ‘shut shop’. The really generous part of our stay was the jungle and it’s teeming life.

A very cosy + comfortable boutique hotel just 300m from the famous Taiping Lake Gardens. Location doesn't get better than this if you're in town for a holiday as it's minutes away from some of the key tourist attractions in town. Rooms are comfortable, price is also very fair. Highly recommended!

Our fourth time here, and probably the last. We have written on guest feedback card for them to make improvement, sadly to say those suggestions or feedback have fallen on deaf ears. Not recommended as it doesn't bring value with the money paid. Pros: - quiet destination with cooling air, we didn't have to turn on the air conditioner yet was able to have a good night sleep - Big space. Our room has a couch. Cons: - No handsoap was provided. they only provided a small small tube of body soap. Of course, we have to ask for more by walking to the reception desk - No extra towel was given, although we have asked one for our baby son. Reason given 'because it's COVID and we need extra sanitisation' - Gym and swimming pool remained closed - No tissue or napkins provided. - No table and chair at the balcony area - Perhaps it's in a smaller town, the service of the hotel staffs is not that something you can expect from what you can get from bigger town/city.

a great stay at Meru suites. huge rooms, friendly staff that will go the extra mile for a service for customers. great team, clean rooms as well. Quiet at night making it a wonderful stay. Only downside is the location as it is situated a 15mins drive away from town, but for such a wonderful stay I would not mind to come back here again.

Everything is fine except the cleanines of the large window panel. The glass panel was covered up with fungus outside which is a shame for such a nice 180 degree unobstructed view !

We loved and enjoyed our stay here. Location - nearby the lake garden, town centre and eateries, all within walking distance. Building - don't judge by the looks outside. Reception - lovely, friendly and helpful staff which made our stay memorable. Room - big, clean with basic amenities. It is a simple hotel run by nice hotel employees.

Everything was OK, expect the guests need to walk from this end to the other (like we did as our room was at the end of the block). Not sure whether there were other access to the first floor other than the lift at the lobby. Ok if it is for a short business trip within Meru area. The micro location is good as it is a stone throw from Mydin Mall and many other attractions in Meru area. The room was OK although some floor boards are peeling off already. The toilet was not really clean especially at shower area. The glass partition was stained and not properly cleaned. Overall experience was OK, cannot ask for more.
