Top 12 Best Hotels In Taiping, Malaysia

Novotel Hotel Taiping Perak Review

Novotel Taiping
Novotel Taiping

Address: No 1 Jalan Tupai, Taiping Town, Taiping

Our top choice of the hotels in Taiping is the Novotel which is without a doubt the best 4 star hotel in Taiping.

Novotel Hotel Taiping is located just a couple of blocks back from Lake Gardens and is set in the heart of Taiping’s commercial district, making it easy to get everywhere.  It’s located right above Taiping Mall so you won’t have to venture far for shopping. It’s also opposite a fabulous hawker centre for dinner time delights.

Facilities include a great outdoor swimming pool with views over Lake Gardens from the deck, a restaurant, gym/fitness centre as well as a business centre and meeting rooms, 24 hour reception and complimentary wifi. There’s also a lobby bar and a small kids’ playroom.

I recommend booking a rate with breakfast included as it’s fantastic. Wifi is not as good although good enough for light usage.

Superior rooms (twin or king) offer city views while Premier king and twin rooms offer Lake Garden views. All rooms offer generous, modern bathrooms with walk in showers. It’s definitely worth paying extra for the Lake Garden views.

Best Parts?

The best part of this hotel has to be the views – especially from the higher floors (so get one of those if you can), with the modern and comfortable rooms coming a close second together with the fabulous outdoor pool.

Worst Parts?

This hotel is pricier than many other options in Taiping but it’s well worth it if you have the additional budget. And while it’s pricier, it’s the cheapest Novotel I have stayed at.
