Because of Impurities.

These filters remove some chlorine and hydrogen sulfides - which have a rotten egg odor but are not effective in VOC, metal, pesticides or fluoride removal. In general, they are not very effective for water filters

However, they have the same problems - which are cheap but do not eliminate many contaminants.

IPOH BALI HOTEL IS THE PLACE TO BE!!

Holidays are in! There is no use hanging around the house in your sweats and warm up your sofa. It’s time for a vacay, peeps! So, pull out your map and pin the first place you set your eyes on - Perak it is! After reading up some guest reviews to book Ipoh Bali Hotel on Traveloka hotel page at https://www.traveloka.com/en-my/hotel/malaysia/ipoh-bali-hotel-1000000540529, I guess Ipoh Bali Hotel it is!



Comfortable and convenient accommodation


Ipoh Bali Hotel provides comfortable place to stay; be it with family or friends. The surrounding area is peaceful, beautiful and well-attended to! It is located within 2 km of Ipoh Parade and Sultan Abdul Aziz Recreational Park. It accommodates 12 soundproofed room complete with first-class in-room facilities including  LCD TVs with satellite channels and free Wi-Fi access to ensure guest comfortable and satisfied.

Superior Deluxe Suite



The hotel staff does not disappoint too with their 24-hour receptionist service, luggage storage, parking and safety deposit box. They also have smoking area and terrace on the rooftop for guest to enjoy themselves with some peace and panoramic view of the Ipoh city.

The reception
Waiting area


Rooftop


Cool nearby attractions


There are loads of interesting attractions nearby that you can enjoy;


Banyan Spa


It’s always nice to rest up a bit a luxurious spa nearby. It is located just 0.4 km from the hotel. Reviews from spa guests always mention the best massage they are pampered with. It is perfect to rewind and let off steam from the stress of metropolitan life. Aside from fancy massage, they also provide manicure and pedicure - the complete dream package for guests.





After that marvelous spa treatment, you can hop off for some meal at nearby restaurants around the spa like New Hollywood Restaurant, Greentown Dimsum Cafe, Restoran Simpang Tiga and Indulgence Restaurant. You can’t go through the day with an empty stomach! There’s plenty stuff to do there!


Laser Battle


Up for some war? Laser Battle gives you some good entertainment for your family and friends. It’s absolute a must-do activity because having fun is getting underrated these days where people are always caught up with work, work, and work.  So, suit up, and let the battle begin.






It is located just 0.9 km from the hotel along Ipoh Parade, this fun place is suitable for all ages, great staff treatment, and large parking areas. It’s always a disappointment if you find the best place to spend time but limited parking spaces.


Ipoh World at Han Chin Pet Soo


Located a little 2.1 km away from the hotel, Ipoh World is a history museum that will satisfy your curious mind and interest on local histories. If you are not one of those circle, you might find it a bit dull and boring. At Ipoh World, you will receive a grand tour around the place with friendly tour guide along the way. It is made to give you a very informative and fun experience walking back in time through the halls in the museum. The design is unique, the artifacts are well-preserved. You will seriously feel as if you are back in time during that period.








Art of Oldtown


A cool point of interest for art lovers out there. Enjoy the creative and nostalgic art embedded on the walls. Parking might be a bit troublesome as it was quite limited among the shop houses there, but I can assure you, once you laid your eyes on the various wall-paintings you will find, you wouldn’t even care where your car was. Talk about digesting in the artwork!!






The famous Ipoh street art pretty much covered all corners of the old town. Getting lost is no longer an issue because, at this point, you just have to see all the arts - every single one of them. That will truly put your vacation experiences to the next level!

Time to pay a visit to Ipoh NOW! Don't forget to visit Traveloka to book your stay at Ipoh Bali Hotel!
