One of the sweetest hostel experiences I’ve had! Elisa does an amazing job making sure every guest is looked after and has what they need. She helped us plan our time and booked a train for us. Also one of the comfiest beds I’ve had in Asia. Clean, friendly, would definitely book again!

Elisa is a great host, she went above and beyond during my stay. Created a really social wholesome vibe in the hostel. And I love her Ipoh guide. Great location! Gorgeous - highly recommend!

Meilleur hostel à Ipoh !! Très bien placé, très grand lit avec de la place et un casier à l’extérieur. Très bonne ambiance également, pleins de rencontres garanties ! Les activités proposées via le guide que l’on vous donne à l’arrivée et via l’hostel sont top ! En particulier le marché de nuit :)

Elisa, running the hostel, is the sweetest! So if you want a local friend, this is perfect. Very relaxed vibe, as it is a smaller hostel. The only drawback for me is that there weren’t that many other backpackers, but still quite social and I met some really nice people!

Really lovely place to stay in perfect location. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they even provide a guide for the area. Not hugely sociable but they put on a movie night whilst I was there. The top floor female dorm was so cool, only thing was the shower was cold.

A lovely cozy, welcoming hostel in the heart of Ipoh. The staff make a great effort to make it feel homely and promote a social atmosphere. Also helpful with any questions with regards to onward travel. Visiting the night market as a group is a nice touch also!Would definitely recommend!

Een heel chill hostel. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en de ligging is echt super centraal. Ik vond het niet een super sociaal hostel.

Really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. There‘s not too much to do in IPoh but the hostel is in a good location, the seating area in the cafe downstairs is great, the staff is very friendly and they offer daily social activities. The beds are also very comfortable:)

PARFAIT !! Vraiment un des meilleurs hostel que j'ai fait, le personnel est super (Elisa un rayon de soleil). Hostel très social mais pas un party hostel, ce qui fait tout son charme. Une activité tous les jours. Une chambre très clean avec rideau, et un espace avec casier à clef et douche à l'extérieur qui (normalement) empêche d'être réveillée par ceux qui font leurs sacs. Je conseille à 100%, Elisa est pleine de bonnes adresses, c'était vraiment troooop top
