The location - an old, run down part of town. Even so it felt safe. The aircon vents are in the ceiling of the passage between the bedrooms, so the rooms only benefit indirectly. The partition walls of the rooms do not reach the ceiling by 30 cm. This could be a problem if the neighbours are not considerate. During my stay this was not a problem, quiet time was.........quiet. The shower heaters are so weak that you have to restrict the flow severely to get a warm shower.

The location - convenient for transport. The helpful front desk manager. The price - very cheap and good value.

The "single room" on the 1st floor is actually a cubicle in greater shared space, there are gaps between walls and the ceiling and you can hear the other guests talking or snoring. Some guests are not respectful and are talking even after 10pm. Earplugs strongly recommended. A warning on the fridge says that the kitchen is being watched by a CCTV, to discourage guests from stealing food. But I haven't noticed any camera and my bottle of tea has disappeared. To the staff: either remove the warning or at least get a fake camera. The place is close to the station but a bit far from city center (eg. Concubine Lane), requires ca. 10-15 mins walking to get there. Also limited dining options in the neighborhood, only a few Indian restaurants.

Sufficient for the price, considering it is one of the cheapest hotels in Ipoh. Close to bus terminal and railway station. The neighborhood is very quiet, there are only some car repair shops around, no noise in the night.

Location is close to the town bus station but far from anything else, but I think that is a reflection of the town layout and not of the hostel itself. Ipoh is just a wide spread town. No soap anywhere.

Very comfortable and quiet. Very clean, towels provided and a comfy blanket.

Stayed in May 2025

Close to the train station and the stuff is very nice, but the cabins are not completely closed so you can hear everything during the night. Extra shampoo and bodywash ist not available as at other places usual.

Stayed in April 2025

I encountered several issues while staying and I have some suggestions for improvement: 1. I stayed on Level 2, there was no body wash/shampoo/any soap provided in the bathrooms for guest, luckily I brought my own body was and shampoo. Appreciate if the Management can provide body wash & shampoo (in bottles or refillable dispenses) for everyone's use in each bathroom cubicle. 2. I stayed at Room No 2-3, the first 2 nights were a bit unpleasant as the aircond was not working at all, I was unsure if it was not working properly or switched off, hence there was no wind movement in my room and ventilation was so poor. I reported to the reception and was able to switch room to Room No 2-6 which was nearer to another working aircond. I would suggest to use standard ceiling fans or any fans to manage ventilation if the aircond is out of order. 3. Smelly shoe racks on Level 1 and 2 - suggest to use air fresheners in those areas. 4. The was no proper desk and chair for guests to use laptop and do work on. There were photos of facilities ie desks and chairs advertised on booking.com but in actual, the facilities were not there.

The accommodation is value for money, I paid RM27 only for 1 night. The location is good, not so much concern on me because I drove my own car. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful to assist me to settle my enquiries and issues.

The walls separating each "room" don't go up to the ceiling and so you can hear every noise your neighbour makes. The guy in the room next to mine was a little peculiar. I got the impression that many of the guests were staying long term.

Good location, next to the train station and local bus terminal. Efficiently managed and maintained.

There was in the past a fire in the building, you smelt that, Check in is not 24 hours but closed at 11pm

Cheap price

Stayed in February 2025

Air conditioner very cold. My feet was freezing. Perhaps was due to only 2 ppl occupying the entire 3rd floor.

Yhis is my first time here. The staff are friendly; check-in and check-out was easy. People who stay here are very simple, compassionate and comply with the rules. I got locked out accidentally at about 11.40pm. Reception was closed and I couldn’t get spare key to get into my room. A guest from Switzerland showed me the lounge on the first floor and gave me his blanket to use. Good vibes. If I travel alone, I’ll stay here again.

When you walk in the place smells, and its a bit old. Walls are very thin so you can her other people talking or snoring. Do NOT put you food in the fridge, someone will probably steal it.

The best thing about this place is the price honestly. Otherwise the room is ok, sometimes very hot or cold depends on the A/C. Nearby the hostel there is nothing really, so you will have to walk. Very close to the train station.

The room cannot keep the sound

The location is good to travel is close to bus stations and train station

Some people are not treating the shared area in a professional way which drive me crazy.

Front desk support

Stayed in December 2024

The rooms are open (the walls are going all the way to the ceiling) so you hear ALL the sounds around and light from the next rooms is going to your room. So it's more like a dormitory, but here are more doors to slam with.

Nice stuff, clean rooms, the price..

Stayed in December 2024

Walking to the center of the city is not very practical, you have to cross big roads without too much pedestrian crossing available. Didn't sleep too well because of noise from birds or something during night. Bed ok but not the most comfortable.

Bit more privacy then normal hostel for same price but the room walls don't go to the top so you hear others easily. 5 showers/toilets per floor so enough for everyone. Microwave and fridge available + hot and cold water dispenser.

Stayed in December 2024

The AC is for all rooms together as the top of the walls is missing. The AC is extremely cold. Also, as the walls are not going all the way, you can hear everything other people are doing & saying.

The location was good and the cleanliness was on point.

Stayed in November 2024

You will hear noises from next building all day long.

Overall clean facilities provided. Kitchen area, free water dispenser and common lounge. Near to bus and train station. Helpful staffs. Pricewise good deal. Although it's a thin partitioned room it's an individual room with single bed.

Stayed in November 2024

You can hear someone next door cough or sneeze or snore and even when they are on the phone. Besides the light from next door can affect the brightness in your area. The water pressure is kind of low tho when you take a shower.

You have personal space to do things on your own. It got WiFi but sometimes it disconnected on its own. This place is kind of secluded but was okay, near the Little India area. Remember to bring RM30 as a deposit.

Walls had gaps at the top, but people could be super loud. Got disturbed a lot during the night.

Privacy and cheapness

Stayed in October 2024

The area is a bit questionable. I wouldn't walk outside alone at night time. At the day time no problem! The rooms had a gap between walls and ceiling so that air could flow. However, this resulted in all the sounds coming from other rooms and the room was not dark at night.

Stuff was really friendly and helpfull. Property has everything needed (hairdryer, microwave etc.). Room was clean and nice and there was locker. Hotel other quest was all males but I did not feel uncomfortable or faced any issues here.

Stayed in September 2024

The area quite run down and resulted in a certain archetype of guest.
