What recent reviews say
Most guests find a solid budget option in a quiet town setting. Spacious rooms at low prices attract repeat custom, though cleanliness and the building's age draw consistent criticism. Rooms are dusty, furnishings need replacement, and plumbing leaks. Staff are friendly; location near shops and food is a genuine advantage. For a small regional town, the value holds; for comparable Ipoh hotels, price-to-condition falls short.
Selama Inn works best for travellers passing through on short overnight stays who prioritise low cost and don't mind visible wear. Maintenance shortfalls are real and repeated complaints suggest the pace of upkeep lags demand.

Reviewers consistently mention clean rooms, working kitchen facilities, and air-conditioned bedrooms. One guest noted the guest room lacked air conditioning, which may matter for hot-weather stays.
