Ipoh City Hotel

Yes, another budget hotel. Ipoh City Hotel is located in Kampung Jawa, right in the heart of city center and many would find it convenient as there are restaurants, money changers, shopping complex, etc at walking distance. The red neon sign on its top is iconic and noticeable from different corners in the city. Although I have not been in the hotel but I have read many positive comments about the hotel that gives me good impression on Ipoh City Hotel.
