Octagon Homestay - TianXia

Location in central Ipoh draws repeat praise for proximity to local eateries and city amenities, and many find the apartments clean and well-priced. However, recurring complaints about toilet drainage, shower fittings, and lack of basic facilities like drinking water suggest maintenance gaps that warrant checking before booking.

Octagon Premium Ipoh Homestay
4.3(308)✓ Google-verified
The location in central Ipoh draws families: shops, cafes, and attractions like Funny Mountain Beancurd sit within walking distance. Rooms are spacious and fit large groups across multiple bedrooms. However, decor feels dated, some units lack basic items like fans and proper bedding, and ground-floor noise penetrates upper floors. Check-in runs smoothly, but furnishings and maintenance need attention.
