When it comes to recommending accommodation, I always need to know the visitor’s budget. For those who are on a tight budget, a good choice would be M Motel at Meru Ipoh. Don’t disregard M Motel, just because it is not named ‘hotel’.

During my visit a few days ago, I was quite amazed by the facilities and amenities provided by M Motel. With room rates starting from RM69, every room has free high speed internet, duvet cover, iron & board, ensuite bathroom with hot shower and mini fridge.

For this price, it is certainly difficult to come across. I really appreciate the iron and board, without having to make booking at the reception counter. M Motel is actually M Hotel!
