What recent reviews say

Guests consistently praise the clean, tidy rooms, affordable pricing, and the friendly, responsive host Johnston. The location in central Ipoh puts Aeon and Lotus within a short drive, and restaurants and hawker stalls just minutes away on foot. Amenities like bottled water, instant noodles, and Netflix come included. A few older notes flag limited English TV channels and a small upstairs bathroom, but these have not dented the strong track record.

Guests consistently praise Mars1 for its size, cleanliness, and entertainment value. The large space suits family groups and gatherings; common areas include a pool, karaoke, snooker, air hockey, foosball, and a BBQ area. The owner responds quickly to messages, and the Taman Perak location puts shops, kopitiam, and a highway entry nearby. One reviewer noted karaoke quality could improve, but the overall experience exceeds expectations for group stays in Ipoh.

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, modern design, and welcoming touches like ambient music and projector screens. The owner manages space efficiently to fit large groups, keeps amenities well-stocked, and responds readily to requests. Limited parking is the main caveat due to the terrace house location.
