Hostels in Perak, Malaysia

I'm absolutely thrilled with Brownstone Hostel. The value for money is simply unbeatable. Highlights: • Design: Beautifully renovated historic building with a fantastic loft feel. • Cleanliness: Everything is very well-maintained and clean; you immediately feel comfortable. • Atmosphere: Super relaxed and ideal for meeting people or working in the common areas. Anyone looking for a stylish and affordable accommodation in Ipoh will find it here. Highly recommended!

The environment was very clean and the plants in the room were vibrant. The mattress was super comfortable, and the staff were warm and friendly. I especially loved that the bedside had a USB Type-C charging port, so I didn't have to worry about bringing an adapter. That's fantastic!

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.

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~

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.
