AWESOME PLACE TO STAY!
Pros:

The most comfortable bed that I slept in while in Southeast Asia for 3 1/2 months! Elisa is always upbeat and willing to help. She’s Amazing! The hostel has a restaurant in it that was very good and the prices are reasonable. It’s in a great location. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! I would love to return to Ipoh and when I do, I will stay here!

Cons:

That I couldn’t stay longer!

Pros:

Location and respectful roommates

Cons:

The toilet lock was not working perfectly, I was locked inside for a couple of seconds. Also, be aware that in the female dorm, there's no cover/roof of the bed, so if you were lucky like me, the light of the room would be on the top of your head/eyes and it's not possible to sleep without turning it off.

A beautiful hostel in an incredible location. Highly recommend!
Pros:

I adored everything about this hostel. The host & volunteers are so lovely and welcoming. The hostel itself is beautifully designed and has such a warm atmosphere. The beds are spacious and clean, there is free water and multiple games you can play on offer. There’s an adorable 5 week old kitten called Joaa who loves to play, you can swap books, join in with multiple different evening activities and eat in the wonderful cafe. I ended up staying here for 4 nights due to how lovely the hostel is, I initially had only planned to stay for 1! The hostel is in the most perfect location for accessing the street art & murals. I would highly recommend staying here to anybody.

Cons:

Nothing.

推薦大家來怡保一定要入住De cafe,白天去吃老闆娘推薦的在地美食,晚上回來享受舒適的個人床位,好好休息~
Pros:

這次訂的是女生背包房,不需要爬上下舖,且個人的床位空間很大,睡起來非常舒適!樓下的共享空間也很棒,在炎熱的天氣可以躲在室內吹冷氣,還可以充電,也有桌遊可以借來玩,稍作休息再繼續探索怡保市區~
老闆娘非常熱情地接待,一直跟我們聊天,關心我們~check in的時候馬上給我們自製的美食景點推薦清單,推薦我們去吃好多在地美食,真的很感謝~我們居然還在檳城的街上巧遇,真是太巧了!

位置超赞,老板很热情
Pros:

在旧街场核心位置,附近步行距离全是各种好吃的老店,旁边就是《流俗地》中的坝罗华小、近打组屋、鸿图酒楼等,老板Elisa贴心的准备了《流俗地》巡礼地图还有小说可以翻阅。女生间在三楼,有单独的门禁,房间非常大,床铺很舒服,干净,大家也都很有素质,睡得很好。可以选择付费洗衣也可以选择自己洗,三楼的公共区域有晾晒衣架,很贴心。跟Elisa聊天非常开心,她还会定期组织夜市巡游、电影之夜、游戏之夜的活动,一楼咖啡厅舒适,e人跟i人都能在这里找到舒适的空间。一家远超预期的青旅。

Pros:

The owner Elisa is amazing. There was some activity organized every evening. She took us to a night market and showed us around. Great recommendations for where to eat and what to see. The bed was very confortable and the whole place was very clean. Thanks to the activities I got to know other guests and it was super easy to socialize. Loved my stay.
