Ipoh Hostels

"The BEST hostel I’ve been in my 7 countries Asian trip. The location, the services, the cleaniliness, the attention, all were great. The hotel is on a renovated old building with exquisite details and curated decoration elements. Everything is clean. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are big enough to have your small backpack in it. There’s a curtain for privacy and it wasn’t crowded. The other guest were very mindful of others. This hotel is relatively new, they opened in Nov 2025 so, it’s still getting known in the travel world. You can use the kitchen that has all the implements to cook, store items in the fridge and prepare a breakfast with ingredients that the hotel provides… free, great breakfast! If you need a towel they give you one at no charge… for now. The location is great. You can walk to the old town of the city and Concubine ln. It’s a really nice walk. That part of the city saw a past splendor and the buildings show it. There are several restaurants around, even some fast food. Two things I would review if I was the owner… I waited for an hr before getting my room while other people got settled immediately. My dorm only had 2 ppl in it, the room was ready when I got there. If you have a bed available, just give away even when there’s no the time. It means a lot to the guest that in general has been traveling long hrs, especially if it’s a small place with not many people. The other thing is to teach us (ignorant westerners), how to use the electric shower heater. I couldn’t make it work because I couldn’t find the on/off button. A small sign could have solved my and others’ frustrations. The owners are doing an excellent job at the hotel. I’m planning to come back so I’ll be a guest again at the Brownstone."

"I have to be honest, this hostel is one of the best that you can find with this modest price, but excellent services. First enter, the counter was having a good chat with a chinese, teen girl who traveled alone in Malaysia. The counter, who is a girl immediately served me as I wanted to place my luggage here before exploring Ipoh . When i check in, around 2pm, (yeah i can check in before 3pm, this is a life saver), an uncle, who served me with care and gave me a tour with their amenities. The amenities were amazing. You can play guitar if you do as they provided at the resting area. You can have a relaxing, comforting hot bath with shampoo and body wash provided. The pillows and bed were cozy... The only thing i am unsatisfied is the attitude of the chinese traveler who sleeps beside me. I can hesr his whispers, saying rude words in chinese (maybe he is having a bad time in Ipoh i guess). The rest, is awesome. If you are looking for a cozy place to stay with home's warmth and modest price, Miner's house is for you."

"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 host was very friendly and helpful, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Overall, it felt safe and welcoming. Just a small note for future guests: this homestay has a “quiet hour” policy, which means you should avoid making noise — no music, no loud conversations, and try to keep your voice low in the room. During our stay, my friends and I received a noise complaint, even though we were not being loud. It may have come from another traveler nearby. So it’s important to be extra careful during quiet hours to avoid misunderstandings. Overall, I would recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay, as long as you are mindful of the quiet hour rules"

"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~"
