    Really cool hostel with everything you need in a good location, just a short walk from Ipoh center. Nice common area to meet people, clean facilities and possibility to book trips, e.g. to the Cameron Highlands.

    Lovely hostel, rather modern. Double room was spacious and comfy, bathroom was clean. Friendly staff. Option to do some laundry washing too. Slightly on the more expensive side for a hostel, but there aren’t many other options in Ipoh so that might be why! About 15 mins walk from the main area/Old Town, but easy to get a Grab if needs be. I would say two nights in Ipoh is probably the right amount! We seem to have been eaten alive by mosquitoes here, lots of them around so bring some insect repellent!

    can't use the toilet bowl comfortably due to the hanging roots and leafs of plants in the toilet. Please remove it or at least trim it nicely.

    Comfortable sleeping space and well equipped accesories for a bunker hostel.

    Nature's touch = Be prepared for mosquito's bites.

    A hostel with a touch of nature, free to roam around since it has big space to rest & chill. Provided locker to keep personal items. Breakfast provided is totally an added value, since some might rush for schedule for touristy purposes/catching train.

    Must stay hostel in the heart of Ipoh town

    • Triple Room with Shared Bathroom

    Some guests were smoking in the bathroom - the smell lingered for quite some time after. There is also no dedicated parking, you'll have to park along the street, or in the alleyway next to the hostel building.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! They gave us a little tour of the facility and informed us of the noise levels to expect (even provided free ear plugs). The facilities are all very lovely and clean, the room was comfortable, and the decor is very unique!

    Little noisy at night (motorbikes and noise coming from a location nearby) but we were warned and were given free ear plugs which we didn't end up using. All in all I've slept in considerably louder places and don't think it impacted my sleep.

    Great decor and beautiful plants/natural vibe. Staff were friendly with great food recommendations

    The bathroom could be more clean. The bathroom doors are a bit rusty. There is one door I always struggle to open after shower.

    The staff are very nice and helpful. The bunk beds are comfortable, room is clean and the aircon is ok. I slept well. They have good hair dryers and uggage storage. I was also able to work online from the hostel. The ambiance is unique. Location is okay.

    We loved our stay at the hostel! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The hostel is clean and there are a lot of showers and toilets. Each bed has its own curtain, which gives you privacy. It has a very nice area to relax. In general it is very comfortable and there are a lot of beautiful plants. We loved that there was free breakfast and there is a little cafe as well.

    Because it’s a hostel there is no breakfast. We would have gladly paid for one. Please note that the hostel is on a busy street, if you’re a light sleeper you’re definitely gonna struggle with street sounds.

    Good spacious room, nicely located. Very nice staff. Loved the cats.

    ALL. The room is sooo spacious and comfy and cozy, one of the most spacious rooms I’ve ever stayed. The common areas are also so nice, it has small library and place to relax upstairs which is so nice. The bathroom upstairs are also nice with lots of green space, and clean of course. I love the interior of this hostel. They are also generous in providing coffee and tea and snacks just in case you are hungry in the middle of the night. The staff Nikita was so lovely and helpful, she made my stay more enjoyable. Totally recommend this hostel to great experience of Ipoh.
