Save your money and stay here. There are more expensive pseudo 5-star places (like the Fle****), but this place is no frills. If you don't come with high expectations, you won't be disapointed. This is my 5th stay and it has been consistent with my expectations. WiFi signals and bandwidth is very reliable. Parking lot across the street is within... More

Clean and confortable small hotel, quiet and well situated with friendly staff. Family room could acccomodate 5 for a reasonable price. Moved there after fleeing the lakeview merah resort and did not regret the move. Several pleasant restaurants in the vicinity and a 7/11 ( no breakfast).

This is overall a good location and surrounding with lot of good and cheap foods. No complain on the hotel park. But maybe provide some Taiping attraction point and info corner will boast the local tourism industry.

The guys at the front desk were very helpful. We enjoyed walking around town and had different dishes near the central market and just around the corner near the lake. The room was a good size with air con. The bathroom was a bit basic, with a water heater that didn't really heat and a toilet connection which resulted in... More

Hotel Furama was great. If you need somewhere to stay at this location do not hesitate with this place. Immacukately clean throughout. amazing beds and stunning room for its price range. Amenities as described. Nice interior design with plenty of art pieces to look at. This place is only a breakfast offering short of a 3 start property.

From the outside it looks like a sleazy, cheap hotel but you'll be surprised with the inside. For RM105 on public holiday you get all these: 1) spacious room with comfortable bed 2) practical bathroom 3) lcd tv with 15 Astro channels 4) water dispenser facility, no worry about making drinks 5) no cafe but many food outlets within walking...

We stayed at the Furama last week as part of a cycling trip with 6 guys. Riding from Ipoh, we were a bit tired and upon arriving at the hotel, the pinkish color really put us off. To be fair, we just passed by the grandiose Flemington as we skirted the beautiful Taiping Lake Gardens. But don't be fooled! The... More
