A very rustic hotel in a great location about 10 minutes walk from the station.
The rooms are very basic but adequate with AC
It is all pretty much self service there is no need to interact with any member of staff.
Local shops are very close

09.02.2026 Guest

This is such a unique place, absolutely gorgeous and you can feel the love that was poured into every corner. It feels like you are staying in an art gallery, every wall and door and ceiling is hand painted with incredible talent and taste.
Truly impressive!

I come around 11pm, there are not staff at reception. No lift is not convenient for family with child.

30.12.2025 Guest

Stay here for its location in the heritage area of Ipoh Old Town. Concubine Lane is the street parallel to Market St. A long time tea merchant, Leong Swee Sang is just a few doors away.
The interior of the hotel is Instagramable. The room is small, basic but clean. There is no wardrobe, and a hot & cold water dispenser is provided in the common area. The ensuite bathroom is big enough and there's hot shower.
The hotel is not for the elderly as there are no rooms at the ground floor and no lift. Live music from a nearby pub is audible till early hours in the morning on weekends.

Beautiful hotel with an eco-friendly design. The location is excellent, everything is nearby. The staff is welcoming. The room is cozy and has all the essentials for a short stay.

Meals are pleasant and cooked fresh. But very hot inside.

29.03.2017 Ylva

Really good food, fresh and tender. However there is no menu, they can't speak English and customer service is very direct, no smiley welcome etc.
We ordered chicken rice with spring onions which was delicious and I am sure that if you know more about Chinese food or can speak Chinese you can order more interesting things.

11.03.2017 Jensen

Classic strong wok taste ?

Finally, get to eat at this shop. Food were good and cheap if you order just one meat and rice on small plate. They only serve tea but it was cheap

The curry is alright. Opted for the dry one. The curry soup is more popular. They also serve a special coffee with a shot of alcohol.

IPOH old town.

Having breakfast after morning jogging is awesome.

Don't feel and taste it special here comparing others...

07.12.2016 andrew

Ah Chow (亚洲) Coffee Shop recently had a brand new sign board fixed in Nov. 2016. A sign of good times. I would recommend the curry mee and the wonton mee stalls here. Good value for money. Also the coffee served here ranks among the best along Leech Street (Jalan Bandar Timah). Don't forget to try the wonderful nasi lemak (wrapped in banana leaves) supplied by a free lance Malay chef. It's good that the food stalls of the coffee shops in this section of Old Town allow cross border trade. Meaning food can be ordered & delivered from any of the surrounding shops, except drinks.

The place is pretty clean and the food is good.I would say 1 of the best Indian restaurants around. The service was fine especially this 1 waiter.Money well spent.

27.12.2017 Aloha

Not as friendly as the nasi Kandar places... The one staff who spoke a bit of English was very helpful (and of course, friendly).

The food was okay at best. Didn't fill is up and the taste was a bit off.
At the end we were almost overcharged since the other staff wrote the incorrect order, but that was resolved.
The price is higher than other places with flavor that could use much improvement.

24.12.2017 ramu

Very poor service, no one wiped the table, all the waiters were more keen in hanging around and chatting. No one took orders after some time and calling the waiters, we walked out left, 10 of us. No one bothered to ask why and stop us.

13.12.2017 Nicole

One of the best places to go to for delicious & very affordable Indian food. Love the Naan bread with tandoori chicken. The banana leaf rice is yummy too. ?

Food is good, but service is not up to par
