Emerald Sky Suites l The Horizon Ipoh l by Grab A Stay l 1-8pax

The rooms were clean and cosy, but the thin walls meant our stay depended a lot on who was next door. Unfortunately, a family sang karaoke until 4 am while we had to be up at 6. We told security three separate times about the noise. They asked the family to stop but didn't enforce the rules, so we'd honestly recommend staying somewhere else. The location is a little out of the way from sights, cafes, and restaurants. You may want to take long walks or get a Grab to reach places.

The rooms felt cozy, and our few days in the Airbnb were generally really pleasant. We also got to unwind in the rooftop pool and take in the lovely scenery.

These apartments are pretty basic, and the decor depends on the individual owner. I'd bring your own slippers for indoors.

I’d avoid booking with Iconic 08. I accidentally selected the wrong date and got no refund, even though I’d booked and paid only two days earlier. Agoda customer service said the Iconic owner could approve a free cancellation, but they refused and pointed to a five-day cancellation policy. Their customer service was very poor, and they didn’t take responsibility or help, even when I was willing to pay for another unit with them. It felt like cheating, so I wouldn’t consider them again, even for another room.
