The electric plug was a bit faulty at my bed and there was dust around the wood...Is good if there was a housekeeping on the area of wood and wall. Overall still good 💯

Staff was friendly, there were 2 pillow provided to guest which one was soft and another is hard.

There is no kitchen

The bedroom is good. The fact that the lockers are outside the bedroom makes the mornings more quiet.. The staff are very friendly.

It was very close to the bus and railway stations, as well as the main roads where the shops are

If I really want to nitpick, I wish they provide a space for travellers to order food delivery and eat it there. Sometimes we just don’t feel like dining out at night and there’s no other way than having to wait until the next day to get food in the cafe/ restaurant. The bathroom doors squeak quite loudly. Could be fixed with a little oil. Other than that, everything else exceeds of my expectations

Great host! They must have put their hearts into preserving the beauty of this building’s architecture. Building was old but well maintained. Love the backdoor ambience. Secret path towards a little cafe. Street was bright and clean even during the night. Bathrooms and the bed are very clean. Lockers are great. Love the toothpaste and cotton pads provided.

You can get lost finding the entrance. Make sure you take note of any landmark the first time you found it!

The aesthetic, the cleanliness, the facilities. Good place for a good value!

Female dorm on 3rd floor, do not bring heavy luggage!

I arrived late at night, but the staff was so kind, and still willing to check me in. Thanks to her I have a place to stay! 😆

The cafe is the only common space for the two dorms. Wifi could have a better sign in the dorms.

Well located in the Old Town, with comfy beds, a silent female dorm and clean bathrooms. They have a cafe on the ground floor so you are also covered with food in case you need it.

Only one toilet.

Location, free water and isolated bed.

There’s not really any communal space other than the café so it was hard to hang out and meet people. There also not that flexible with the check in time so if you arrive before 3pm you’ll have to wait but that didn’t bother us too much as the food/drinks in the café were amazing so we just relaxed.

It was a beautiful building, they have really tried to keep it as it was which is nice. The beds were sooo comfortable and we really liked the way it felt like you were in a tent. The room was a great size so had lots of space and the free toiletries were a bonus!

The best sleep that I had in Malaysia! The location is great, the owner of this place is friendly and helpful

Very nice female dorm with a lot of space for your luggage.

This place was a total oasis of calm. It is NOT for someone looking for a party hostel. But everything in this hostel - from the beds, to the decor, to the thoughtful staff - is clearly done with care to make the best experience possible. Newton, William, and the other staff were always so kind and helpful. The bed is incredibly comfortable with lots of space in the women’s dorm.

Near eateries & Concubine Lane. Staff pleasant & attentive. Newton was helpful & booked a grab car for me to the bus terminal for Cameron Highlands.

De Cafe & Resthouse was the best hostel ever in Malaysia that I’ve ever stayed in!!! Owner, Dawson, & his staff, Kalik, Kahi, William & Newton - amazing!!! they were always there for you, whatever your needs & inquiries, and they are very accommodating & helpful!!! I miss them, the high quality services they provided, and the beautifully refurbished 100-yr old building!!! It is a very clean & spacious boutique hostel, with only a 10-bed female dorm & same with the male dorm, each in different floor! It’s cafe/bistro has the best & food & reasonably priced! I had different fares everyday I was there & everything was divine! It’s in Old Town, a 10-minute walk to/from train station (bus station is a 20-minute Grab Taxi), close to all the restaurants, the shopping district of Concubine St, a few minutes walk to the Art Trail Streets, mosque, Riverfront walk & cafe, and the old British Colonial building are ubiquitous all over, though, in dire need of repairs. Night market and New Town is only a 10-minute walk. Grab taxi is sooo convenient to go to all the out of the city attractions like Mirror Lake, Kek Look Tong cave temple which is far more beautiful than Batu Caves. Miss everything about De Cafe & Resthouse!!! Thanks a million for an amazingly wonderful stay, Dawson & staff, & for being such a caring person!!!! I miss you all!!!

There was not much communal space, as the bottom floor is a cafe, although you can spend the evenings there when the cafe is closed. Would have liked a small fridge for guests. It is facing a main road so traffic can be noisy (due to the building being old there is not much sound insulation)

Super comfortable and clean hostel in a beautiful building with a lot of history. It is a very stylish hostel. Beds were very comfortable, and toilets/showers were clean. Super friendly staff who are always willing to help and give good tips on where to go in the area.
