JQ Ban Loong Boutique Hotel

酒店是一個漂亮的老房子，地理位置優越，前台接待姐姐非常温柔熱情，房間的衞生有待改善。

We stayed here for only one night after coming down from Penang. It’s a small boutique hotel with basic amenities but very close to all tourist attractions. We checked in quite late at about 7pm, so the road to Jalan Bandar Timah was quite empty. The next morning, we were surprised because the road leading to everywhere was so jammed and all shops (coffee shops & restaurants) were so packed with people, long queues everywhere! Even though this is a small hotel, but it is very clean. Remember to bring your own toiletries as only shampoo and shower gel were provided in the room. Other than that, everything was good. Highly recommended for those love to walk around and learn about history of Perak.

This is a cozy hotel with a great location. Close to the old town and popular local coffeeshops. Very competitive pricing too. There were some hiccups upon our arrival so do take note if you book the hotel. Firstly, prepare enough cash to pay for your room!! When we booked the hotel, we understood from our booking website credit payment was available. However, when we reached the the hotel, we were told there was a change in management and they no longer accept credit card payment. Secondly, bring your own toiletries as they only provide hand wash in the ensuite toilet. In our case, the hand wash was not filled so we had to request for a refill. We also saw 2 mosquitoes when we entered our room, we killed one. The surviving one flew around but did not bite us so I guess it's a male? Otherwise the rest of the stay was smooth and pretty comfortable.

Stayed from 22-24 April. Booked 3 different rooms thru Agoda website. As we were travelling by train, we chosen this hotel as its location is about 10 mins walk (700m) from KTM train station and very closed to the famous Concubine Lane. Rooms are exactly shown in Agoda photos. Room 103 - Family room - spacious, bunk bed, attached bathroom, clean, window view on back alley, BUT never ever open the window or an army of mosquito will attack your room! Room 105 - Deluxe double - tiny, queen size bed, attached bathroom, clean, NO window. Room 110 - Premium double room city view - spacious, queen size bed, attached bathroom, clean, big window view on front main road. Sadly NO minibar/fridge provided in the rooms. Credit to the staff, the only Chinese lady we saw working on our stay. She is the reception, she is the housekeeping, and she is A to Z. We can't praise her enough, she did a brilliant job. Overall we are satisfied with our stay at Ban Loong Hotel!
