One of the staff, Dini, was very helpful and suggested lots of things for us whilst we were in Ipoh. We had one of the rooms near the lobby/entrance of the hostel, which was a bit inconvenient at night e.g. if we had to go to the bathroom... but other than that it was a great stay! Not a big problem.

Ughhh..

I will say the staff were great and friendly but.... Stayed in the double room and I have to say it was really gross, almost to the point we did not want to sleep in the bed. Random hairs all over the floor very tiny cramped room and extremely over priced for what you get. Probably the worst place we have stayed in Asia in over 5.5 months. Location is very central though.

BEDBUG CENTRAL

I am just completely shocked that this place has such good reviews...It may be cause the standard of cheap Hostels in Malaysia is so bad? Ok the common areas were cute and new and staff was friendly. My first private room had bed bugs and all night there was a strange noise driving me nuts...that is after the loud nightclub closed at 3am. By 6am the strange noise got cancelled out by street noise..a loud humming from aircons...by 8 am you hear everybody sitting and having breakfast in front of your room. Oh and there were Bedbugs ! I asked to change rooms and did get another one. As i waited for my new room to be cleaned, i noticed the staff member went inside with a big power steamer (uhh just look up what kills bed bugs...yes its hot steam..lol) Bathrooms were not so clean and breakfast only cheap toast and jelly.. Worst thing was that we missed out on some major sights cause staff informed us that there is no transport to there..we later happened to go to the bus terminal and found several buses going directly to the sight whicb only tool a few minutes ! Had we known earlier we could have seen more. All in all It is a very strange hostel and I would never go back....

시설, 청결, 서비스, 친절은 모두 훌륭하다. 그러나 위치는 올드 타운과 좀 멀어서 걸어다니기에는 부담스럽다. 조식은 식빵과 잼이 나오는데 잼은 색소가 가미된, 그닥 추천하고 싶지 않다.

TOO BAD EXPERIENCE!!

I did not manage to check in to this hostel, so it's unfair to review it here. But I was sent an email by 'Expedia' to review it, so I want to review about my experience here. When I reached, I was told that my name wasn't in the reservation list, even with email proof of my booking confirmation. Worse still, the staff told me the hostel was fully booked - meaning they can't accommodate me anymore!! The consequence? I took 4++ hrs to arrive here, and took another 3++ hrs to return to where I was from!! When I reached, I was asked to wait before I was turned away because the staff was serving another customer. This was an uncomfortable experience for me - having travelled worldwide, I had never encountered this kind of treatment. And from the conversation they had, I guessed also there's a problem with that customer's booking as well, where he was not assigned the room he had reserved - I seriously doubted the high rating given to this hostel. On the reservation matter, who should be responsible? 'Expedia', who gave me wrong info on confirmation and room availability? Or the hostel, who claimed that the system was in a mess? (the staff told me this) Don't put the blame on 'system'/'technical problem' etc. 'cause' all these were made by human!!!

Perfect service in a clean hostel

This hostel was great! Perfect service, clean and very helpfull staff. All available: microwave, refrigerator, airco, breakfast, free coffee, tea and water (whole day), movie on a big screen every night, bikes for rent, books to read, great showers with hot water. Downstairs a great restaurant and in case you would like to have a beer...there is a bar at the end of the street. Try the local dishes in the area and do not forget the local Ipoh coffee. You can walk around in the old and new town. Must sees are the caves/temples around the area (must take a bus and/or taxi). Got nothing to do and you are just staying for 1 or 2 days? There is a shopping mall (walk 10 minutes) with a cinema, karaoké box and bowling. I would definately stay here again!! Thank you guys for the nice stay.

센스있는 호스텔!!

이 가격에 이런 호스텔 찾기 진짜 힘들다고 생각해요. 4인실에 묵었는데 정말 만족스러워요. 화장실도 진짜 깨끗하고 사용하기 편하게 잘 해놨구요. 무엇보다 라운지가 가장 마음에 듭니다. 스태프들도 다들 친절하구요. 주변에 식당도 많고 팍슨백화점도 있고 1층에 식당도 있어서 정말 편리했네요. 또 이포에 간다면 무조건 여기 또 갈거예요! 깨끗하고 세련된 저렴한 호스텔 찾는 분들은 여기무조건 가셔야 해요~!ㅋㅋㅋ
