I stayed at this hotel recently, and while it had some great features like friendly staff and a clean environment, I did have a few issues. The location was fantastic for exploring nearby attractions, but the dining options were quite limited, which left me a bit disappointed. The pool was nice, but I found the noise from nearby rooms to be a little bothersome, especially when children were playing outside. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The location is great, within walking distance to Maxwell Hill, making it perfect for those who want fresh air while still being close to town. It's also very close to Taiping Zoo and Lake Garden.

I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and I really appreciated that the staff was diligent about sanitation during checkout. The service was friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. On the downside, while the location is peaceful and great for nature lovers, it could be tricky to get around without a car.

I had a mostly pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the excellent balcony view of the tree canopy, perfect for bird watchers like me. The room had a lingering smell of smoke upon check-in, which was a bit off-putting. However, the staff was friendly and eager to assist with my requests, making my experience more enjoyable. Overall, I felt satisfied with my stay despite a couple of minor drawbacks.
