REASONS TO STAY IN WEIL HOTEL, IPOH




WEIL Hotel, Ipoh, A Bespoke Hotel
My trip to Ipoh, the town itself has always shown that it's simple with everything. Not lavish but still modern. Not too new but yet with a little history to it. It has always been a transit with Ipoh. Never ever stopping for an overnight, or longer than 24 hours. 


There is so many reasons to why you should choose to stay in Weil Hotel, Ipoh. The Hotel itself provides almost everything in a building and more. It's very convenient in a way if you are in Ipoh for a holiday, business trip or even just for a stopover night to stay (since its located right in the middle of North to South). Travelling to Ipoh can  be by many ways,

  • Direct Flight 
  • Bus Express 
  • KTMB ETS 
  • Carpolling with friends
Fruits Stall, R&R Tapah
I went carpooling with couple of friends. 2.5 hours of car ride with a stopover at Tapah R&R as they need to have lunch. Tapah R&R is one of many R&R that has facilities such as food eateries, toilets, suraus and fruits stalls. Luckily it's fasting month so my budget got saved lah hahaha  To exit out from the PLUS Highway to Ipoh, you can do so via Simpang Pulai or Ipoh. Both exit will bring you into Ipoh town. Took us 20 minutes (exiting via Simpang Pulai) to reach Weil Hotel, Ipoh.

The moment I arrive at the lobby, it was huge, very calming or slow you could say. You don't feel as if you need to rush. Checking in is also very efficient.

My Room was the Superior, cost at RM 320 per night. What I love about the room I was in,

  • The Personalized Welcome Card from the General Manager himself was most appreciative.
  • I could control the air-con.
  • You will find 3 types of bathing method, bathtub, shower and rain shower..hahaha i love the rain shower. 
  • The toilet is very spacious, breathable. 
  • The mattress was comfy, the same as other hotels but the pillow was heaven. Couldn't stop myself from falling asleep, although tried very hard not to.

SAHUR SET MENU
Because it was Ramadhan, WEIL Hotel, Ipoh does provide Sahur Menu for those who is fasting. It's a room service and it starts from 4am onwards. Order's should be placed before 8pm the night before. Because my son wanted something different, had to order Ala-Carte for him.

Enough reasons for me to stay and come back again to WEIL Hotel, Ipoh. It's not just because of the services, the comfortable rooms with good clear TV reception, or the infinity pool, the good food prepared but it's also the hospitality rendered by the staff in the hotel.
