i stayed here for 4 nights. the staff were extremely friendly and helpful everytime we ask for a help (from finding rental cars, several times finding a taxi, etc). the room is very comfortable, quite new (a bit contrary to most of the reviews here), and nicely decorated. the minus is it's quite far from local food and other attraction,... more

Stayed here for a nite on 21st Oct 2009. The hotel is currently undergoing some refurbishment after Impiana took over. Unfortunately I was given an old room which was somewhat in need for immediate upgrade. This hotel has been around for ages and has changed management for a few times. You could see improvements being made especially to the lobby... more

This is by no means a world class luxurious hotel. The best that could be said of it is that it is adequate. It's situated rather far from anything especially without a car. Taxi's are mostly un-metered and must be called by the attendant at the lobby. Everything about the hotel appears to be rather dated. It probably hasn't been... more

There was nothing wrong with the hotel, I just wished the shower had been better. No water pressure and I found it very hard to find the right balance of hot and cold. The service was quite good and the doormen were exceptional. more

My husband and I stayed here for one night en route from Penang to the Cameron Highlands. The hotel was easy to locate and we had no problem at all finding and using the car park. We had booked a Superior DeLuxe room and it was dreadful. It was shabby and very down at heel. The sheets were stained and... more

Hotel is okay - clean and reasonably well maintained. Close to the local shopping mall (10 minute walk) and the city. Also handy to most of the tourist attractions. Desk and door staff pleasant and willing to be of assistance. more

We stayed at the Casuarina for one night. My partner has stayed many times over the years and said that the hotel has much improved since last time. The staff were friendly and efficient and check in was a doddle. The reception area was smart and presentable and in fact many of the commmunal areas had been recently decorated. Our... more

Its only good for a stop-over hotel in Ipoh. Dont expect too much. Old furnishing. Small room. We ended up with cold shower in late rainy evening as somehow the hot water distribution was not even. We only got hot water in the next morning, possibly cos of less usage in the morning. Carpark instruction was not clear when we... more

Normally i would not stay in Ipoh. Ipoh is just 1.5 hours from Penang and 2 hours from Kuala Lumpur. This time I had to stay because i had to attend a wedding dinner. Those long extended Chinese wedding dinners. The hotel was much better than I expected. However, Ipoh is a pretty laid back city. The hotel reception was... more
