Straddling the Asian mainland and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is a wonderful jumble of multiculturalism, wildlife-rich jungles and vibrant cities.
Among Malaysia’s urban hotspots is its culturally diverse capital Kuala Lumpur (‘KL’ to locals), home to the iconic Petronas Towers, mammoth shopping malls and nightlife of the Golden Triangle. George Town, capital city of the island of Penang, is widely renowned as the food capital of Malaysia. Delicious street-food treats include grilled satay skewers, Chinese congee (rice porridge) and otak otak (steamed fish curry).
This part of Southeast Asia is ideal for picturesque wildlife wanders wand watersports. Some of the best scuba diving spots and powdery soft beaches can be found around the islands of the East Coast peninsular. You can also hike through some of the oldest rainforests in the world and take up whitewater rafting within one of the country’s many national parks.
Whether you’re looking to camp in Malaysia’s national parks or stay with the locals in a homestay, you’ll find accommodation to suit your needs. Main cities and beach resorts also offer a wide selection of hotels, hostels and guest houses.

Located 1 km from Ipoh Parade, Miner's House Ipoh offers 3-star accommodation in Ipoh and features a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.
Guest review
This is an absolute gem. The whole characterful place works in harmony and balance. Our room was lovely with great air con and a super shower and the bed linen and towels were sublime (definitely the softest, most comfortable bed we have slept in on our 6 week travels). The communal areas are super…..a lounge with bean bags, sofas and books, a kitchen where there is complimentary tea and coffee, free filtered water, a fridge, cooking facilities and crockery and cutlery. There is a choice of dining spaces, either inside, outside in the plant filled patio or in the front lobby area. The reception lobby is spacious and welcoming with wide, sweeping wooden stairs leading up to the rooms. The enthusiastic, hardworking and caring staff are first rate and did everything in their power to make our stay enjoyable and easy. Altogether a fantastically memorable stay at a very reasonable price. Thank you so much, Miner’s House!❤️❤️

Very clean, rooms are us on the pictures, the staff is very friendly, good communication through whatsapp. I stayed for 2 nights (between mount kinabalu climb) and they allowed me to store my luggage. On the second night, I had an upgrade for free. I would surely recommend this hotel.

The rooms are separated from tour route. It gives privacy and you have a different view in the building. We had a welcome snack and it was a sweet move! Facilities are pretty complete in the room.

the breakfast was very good but too little varieties, of course coffee tea times were really marvelous..cleanliness was above then expected!
WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE FOR A ROMANTIC STAY.
AN IMMPRESSIVE AND DELIGHTFUL PLEASANT STAY....ACCEPT the noise from the temples around and the mosque not calming!
