What a great choice if you're staying in Ipoh! It is very comfortable, great bed linen and probably the best pillows we've experienced in many hotel stays. It is clean and quiet too. Filtered water is available on a separate tap in the bathroom, which is very convenient. Top quality liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner are supplied in the shower.
The hotel is close enough to the old town and food stalls so you can walk, even if the footpaths don't exist in some places.
The WEIL is attached to a large shopping complex, so very convenient.
On the reverse side: due to a delayed flight, no train tickets available from KL, the only option was a bus. We arrived at the hotel at midnight, unsure if we'd be able to get in. Their telephone system is switched over "after hours" to a message saying " no one available, call later". This went on for an hour, so I finally gave up ringing. We decided to take a chance, looking for an overnight option nearby as we took a Grab from the bus station to the hotel.
To our relief, reception was staffed and we were quickly checked in.
Next: no information was provided to us about the facilities in the hotel. On day four, our last day, we decided to have breakfast in-house (due to time constraints), only to discover it was included in our room rate! Having said that, it wasn't very exciting anyway. The coffee out of the machine was tasteless, there were no pastries and the fresh fruit was less than appetising to look at.
