Great facilities of indoor playground. With cafe and nursing room inside. Crews are friendly to guard the kids while playing. Just a bit warm when afternoon time, no AC in general area. Only AC in “theatre” and “magic wall” at designated room. At first I feel entrance fees quite pricey for ipoh area, but worth the penny with its facilities. Try to book from Klook earlier. The confirmation booking took 24hours.

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.
