I've previously enjoyed my stay at the Ipoh Cititel Express, so I decided to stay at the George Town branch. A little bit disappointed at the condition of my room, you can tell that while the room has indeed been refurbished, it is starting to show signs of wear. The towel railing in the bathroom is falling apart. The wallpaper is peeling. The air-conditioning may need servicing. The parking elevator always has a smell. And the towels also has a peculiar odour, making me question the hotel's cleanliness protocol. I also wouldn't recommend this hotel for light sleepers, as the walls, windows and doors are not at all soundproof. On top of being able to hear all the noise from the street level, I could hear the opposite room's early morning cellphone alarm which unfortunately rang for hours. If you do stay here, please stay as far away from the elevators as possible. As for everything else - reception was fine and courteous if a little clumsy during the check in process. Parking was straightforward and fairly easy to access. Rooms are a little bit tiny, but is adequate for a solo stay. Rooms are also equipped with most basic necessities, including kettle, mini fridge, hair dryer, towels, slippers, mugs, TV. The hotel is right opposite a mall. A bunch of eateries and cafes, 7-11, are all easily accessible by foot. Fairly central location and you can get to most of the famous spots easily. Overall, your mileage may vary. For me, this place is just fine, could have been better.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The sink was clogged. We told the staff, and they said they will send a maintenance staff to look at it but it was never done. We ended up asking to change to a different room on the following day. We came back one day and saw the door was left open and unlock after the room was made. We'll never consider Cititel Express in future.

The plus point of this hotel is location.

Total stayed 6 nights, 2 separate booking 4n + 2n 2nd day - got locked out fm my own room 3rd day - rushing out for my mum funeral, safe cant open. Lame reason was too many stuff in the safe (1 laptop, 1 ipad, 2 passports & prayer red pkts) 5th day - returned fm tiring prayer, got locked out fm room again. Reason was I supposed to checkout. I already extended & paid tourism tax on 2nd day of my stay
