The cleanest and most comfortable dorms ever! There was so much room in the dorm room (enough to fit a large suitcase that wouldn’t block people’s way),the bed was very comfortable and cosy, and there was a small table inside the bed to hold my toiletries. The location was very good and the bathroom was very clean! It was a really nice stay and the decor was very nice. Kitchen area was also great and clean.

The warm welcome, food recommendations, and local bike tour from Wenesa were outstanding. The facilities were all clean and very well maintained considering the age of the building. The common areas were very cosy and comfy, and you really felt at home. It's a great place to stay and base yourself around Ipoh and a gateway to the Cameron Highlands. Cannot recommend this hostel enough.

I’m living here very comfortably and quietly. My roommate is also very quiet. The entire hostel is clean, comfortable, and tidy. The person managing the place right now is an Egyptian brother who’s also traveling across Asia. He’s a really nice person and very handsome. All the Egyptians I’ve met in Malaysia are amazing. I love Egypt and I love Egyptians.

HUGE room! And comfy beds. Good AC. We have mistaken the dates for the next month, which we realized when arriving. Luckily the staff could fix it on the spot very fast so we are very grateful. It have a shared kitchen with some utensils to cook, a big fridge, and a terrace. It is a self check in place. We stayed in a private room, but the shared rooms looked good, and on the last week of January they were completely empty.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

What an amazing interior, it's well designed for a hostel. You have a beautiful common area on the first floor and a couple of terraces available to use. Dormitory beds are spacious and lockers big enough to fit a 90L backpack. I'm happy with all the amenities. I didn't stay long enough to rent a bike but I love that this is offered as well.
