“The Happy 8 Retreat stands out with its uniquely themed, art-filled rooms-though some might find the execution a bit rough around the edges. Its proximity to Ipoh's cultural landmarks and local eateries is appealing, and I appreciate the yoga classes offered amidst the greenery. While it aims for a serene escape, prospective guests should note that some have reported issues with noise and maintenance.”
