very good 5 star hotel, next to Ipoh Parade shopping mall with GSC cinema and central to many parts of downtown ipoh. Grab a taxi to anyway is convenient and some places are within 15-20 min walk too. The room wifi access is good and the rooms are spacious and clean. The Buffet Breakfast has a good spread of local and international breakfast. The Chinese Restaurant Yuk Sou Hin at Level 1 serves very good smoke duck and other yummy dishes. I highly recommend this hotel if you prefer good hotel with good food.

Tambun Lost World was an unforgettable experience. The natural surroundings, nestled amidst lush green mountains, created a serene and refreshing atmosphere. The park offers a variety of activities, from the relaxing hot springs and adventurous water park to the enchanting neon-themed night attraction. The neon-lit area, in particular, was a highlight, offering a vibrant and immersive experience that’s perfect for photography enthusiasts. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile, which added to the overall positive experience. While the visit was exceptional, clearer signage throughout the park could make navigation easier for first-time visitors. Overall, Tambun Lost World is a fantastic destination for family outings, friendly gatherings, or even solo explorations. I can’t wait to return and discover even more!

A must come if you are in Ipoh with kids! The place revolves around robots made of tin since Ipoh is known for tin mining. Clean, spacious with parents corner (sofa included) and nursing rooms. Although non air-conditioning, it's big fan makes the place windy. Thoughtful facilities like hair band at counter, potty seats in toilet and entirely padded area makes parents worry less over their children. So many things and corners to play at. Highly recommend!

Ok, Lost World of Tambun is seriously awesome. The best part is, booking via Klook. it's way cheaper and I got more discounts! Just try not to come during the monsoon, the evening was raining hard so I missed the night shows and the hot spring.

Redeemed the wristbands and food voucher at the counter before entering the venue at the ticket counters easily by showing the qr codes. Had a really fun time as the park was not crowded and weather was perfect.. Food was not bad too. We reached the park at 12pm and stayed till 7pm+ and managed to experienced all the sections in the park. Wanted to stay for the fire show but was too tired and it started to rain when we went back hotel. Overall, recommended! tip: go for the hot springs earlier as more ppl will come later in the afternoon/evening.
