A 4-star hotel located in the heart of Taiping, Perak, Novotel Taiping Perak is directly connected to Taiping Mall, offering accessible amenities such as a supermarket, convenience store, foreign exchange, and food and beverage outlets. The distances to the following places are: 1. Pusat Penjaja Taiping (Night Food Centre) - 10m 2. Larut Matang Hawker Centre (Day Food Centre) - 300m 3. Taiping Lake Gardens – 450m 4. Taiping Telegraph Museum – 700m 5. All Saints’ Church – 1km 6. Perak Museum – 1.4km 7. Zoo Taiping & Night Safari – 2.4km 8. Burmese Pool - 2.8km 9. Simpang Taiping (Bus Point) - 7km 10. Kamunting Raya Bus Terminal - 7.2km I took a coach from Johor Bahru and arrived at Taiping at 7 a.m. on a Wednesday. Upon arrival at Simpang, I booked a ride-hailing service to the hotel, which took 15 mins and cost RM10.30. Although the check-in time is 3 p.m., the room was available at 1 p.m. for my check-in. Opened in 2016, Novotel Taiping Perak offers 197 guest rooms and suites. Despite its age, the premises and rooms are still rather well-maintained. Its facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a children’s pool, and a fitness centre. The outdoor pool overlooks Taiping town with views toward Bukit Larut, making it one of the hotel’s most photogenic spots. The hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Food Exchange, serves a variety of Malaysian and international dishes. The Gourmet Bar & Lounge, located on the ground floor, offers a selection of beverages, pastries, and light snacks. The guest rooms start from the 8th to 13th floor. I booked the Premier Room with 1 King Size Bed and was accommodated in Room 1119 on level 11. The room measures 31 square metres and offers a lovely view of Taiping Lake Gardens, Bukit Larut and its surroundings. The tv offers free-to-air local channels, in addition to selective cable channels. There is neither Netflix nor YouTube. Unfortunately, during rainy weather, the tv reception turned bad, and I was unable to view certain channels. A universal socket and USB sockets are available at the sides of the bed. Both the shower pressure and temperature work fine. The housekeeping service could have been better. On the day of my check-in, some hairs were spotted near the room door. There were stains inside the fridge. The hand wash was not topped up. Despite this, I can overlook this gripe due to staff challenges in the hospitality industry. On the contrary, the services of the Front Desk Team were good. Given its central location, direct access to the shopping mall, and rooms offering scenic nature views, I would recommend a stay at this hotel. If you are travelling to Taiping, look no further—this is possibly the best business and family-friendly hotel in the city. After all, this is the only international hotel brand in Taiping.
