Loved the lively vibe in this century-old shophouse turned hostel. The terrace and garden were charming, and the laundry facilities were handy. So many activities nearby, like golfing at Meru Valley.
The elevator and water dispenser were a disappointment – I was really looking forward to a good elevator ride and a thrilling water-dispensing experience.

Friendly staff, clean and comfy room. Central location, close to attractions. Lovely outdoor smoking area with artistic murals and swingy egg chairs. Small, cozy hostel with a library of Penguin travelogues. Surprisingly affordable.

I got great value for my money at Vloft Backpackers. The room was comfortable with working aircon, fans, and plugs. The location was ideal, within walking distance of many food shops and attractions like Tong Shui Kai. The staff, especially Suky the owner, were helpful and friendly.
The hotel breakfast menu could have been improved with more variety.

The staff at this hostel were mind-blowing! The free coffee and tea on the beautiful balcony were super relaxing, and I loved being able to enjoy my own food there too. I stayed in the small dorm room and it was cozy and comfortable. The value for money was jaw-dropping, and even though it was a bit outside of the old town, it was still within easy walking distance. The free water, coffee, and tea were a nice touch, and the internet connection was top-notch when not many people were online. C'mon, the owner, was incredibly helpful and gave me excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat. The location was fantastic, as everything was easily walkable. The customer service and staff were top-notch, with a comfy bed and a working water heater. They even provided us with a map to guide us around the area. this place offers great value for money, clean rooms, and free refreshments.

The central location of the hostel allowed me to conveniently explore both Ipoh's old town and new town areas, making it a perfect base for my adventures in the city.
Limited bathroom facilities for the number of guests.

The location of the hostel is great, with easy access to restaurants, the night market, and the old town. The staff is very helpful and friendly, providing useful recommendations and a map to explore the area. Guests can also enjoy the nice balcony area and the selection of books and travel guides available.
The setup of the reception desk being in the same room as the bunkbeds might not offer enough privacy for some guests.
