Ιπόχ Hostels

"Pretty good, and very close to tourist attractions. The B&B itself also sells food, mainly Western style. All necessary facilities are available, such as a bathroom, washing machine, dryer, etc."

"I stayed here for two nights. The hostel is located in Ipoh city center, about a ten-minute walk from the core attractions of Old Town (like Concubine Lane and the Clock Tower) and the food streets. The hostel building is a century-old house with English-style wrought iron gates and windows, colorful floor tiles, and wooden stairs that exude a rich sense of history. The rooms have wooden floors, and the beds and duvets are very clean. The facilities meet basic travel needs, including a washer-dryer combo and drying racks, as well as separate male and female shower areas. I particularly appreciated the warm and thoughtful service from the staff, especially the male owner who thoroughly explained the history of Ipoh's development, nearby tourist attractions, and local cuisine. In the morning, there are four free breakfast options to choose from. This hostel is highly recommended, and I would definitely choose to stay here again if I return to Ipoh."

"It was clean and safe. Bed is clean, shower is clean, common area is clean. Just a couple things: 1) wish the compound was smoke/cigarette-free (it was a middle aged local man who smoked in the area next to the pantry, looks like one of you idk); 2) don’t expect to go to bed early 😂 you can go to bed early but theres a bar below so you hear the music, and I was in the female dorm on level 1, lotsa noise coming from the floors above. However, people generally go quiet after, I think the bar closes? Which is 1am. Not sure, I went to bed around 10pm and was in and out of sleep. Overall the place is great."

"The facilities and the service in the hostel are good. The room condition is subjective. 1. The damage is not fixed before opening for the next customer use. Not affect the use of the room but is a bad presentation. 2. The curtain rail rack for the lower bed is not concealed, with a screw expose could cause the upper bed user easily get cut which happen to my daughter. 3. When renovation works are off, there is no immediate cleaning of the common area cause the whole place dusty especially the floor. I think the cleaner did come in to mop the floor later. 4. The noise from the neighboring nightclub hopefully they can be off before 2 am."

"The most important thing is the price/performance ratio. The location is very convenient to go anywhere and you can visit many places. The basic facilities are complete, and purifier drinking water is provided. The water quality is very good. I haven't seen this in several youth hostels I stayed in before. The only drawback may be that objectively because it is close to the intersection, it is necessary to have noise-canceling headphones when sleeping. There is nothing else. Suky's service is friendly and efficient. Overall, it is worth recommending~"

"1. Excellent location 2. Clean and hygienic 3. Spacious and comfortable This was my first time staying in such a spacious guesthouse. The location is excellent because it's close to the train station, the City Hall (a magnificent classical building from the British colonial era), Concubine Lane (Big/Second/Third Lane), and popular restaurants like Nam Heong Tea House, Sin Yuen Lung Tea House, Ding Feng Teochew Tofu Pudding, Lao Wong or An Kee Bean Sprout Chicken, Bentong Beef Brisket Noodle Shop, and Sin Wing Fai Bakery... I estimate it's a 5-20 minute walk to all the attractions I planned to visit. The guesthouse opened in 2024, so the facilities are still new. The bedding is comfortable, with white sheets and thick towels. There are nine shared shower rooms for women, so you don't have to worry about sharing. There's a hot and cold water dispenser and a refrigerator... For backpackers looking to relax and travel, this is a very cost-effective guesthouse. The staff are friendly and helpful, recommending nearby restaurants and even giving me earplugs, which I, as a heavy sleeper, didn't need at all. I originally planned to stay one night, but after experiencing it firsthand, I found it wasn't like the photos had misled me, so I extended my stay for two more nights to truly experience... the slow pace of life in Ipoh."
