Hostels in Ipoh

I found Ban Sheng Teik hostel as a very comfortable, beautiful and instagramable hostel. Interior design and provided services are very exquisite like in 5 star luxurious spa resorts. Hostel team is a main asset and joy of the hostel. They were very helpful and friendly. Location: Hostel is located in the heart of Old Town. Famous party street with café, restaurants, shops, weekend market in the park, mosque, train station, clock tower, street with mural arts and other sightseeing places are within 5-10 minutes of walking distance from the hostels. Kitchen: There is a nice kitchen with everything needed for cooking/warming up and eating own food. Watercooler/Dispenser with boiling hot and cold water was helpful to make own tea or refill empty bottle with cold water. I was seating and chatting with other travelers in the kitchen and in the entrance area where you can charge your phone or listen to the music from radio. Bathroom: I was happy to see that male and female shared bathroom with toilets and shower are separated. Laundry service: There is a free washing and drying machines in the kitchen where I did my laundry. There is an ironing board with iron for ladies and gentlemen. My room: I was all alone in 6 bed dorm room without windows, so it was great as I slept like a baby. There was an air conditioner, a ceiling fan, a giant mirror, tiny lockers (enough size to put small bag/laptop/valuable items) and cloth hangers in my room. My bed: Very comfortable clean bed with personal lamp, socket/plug to charge phone/laptop, towel, tooth brush and paste has been provided. Cleaning: Hostel was very clean like in the museum and in my mother’s house. Safety: Hostel was very safe as all doors have card access entry only. Even bathroom entry was via access card! Wi-Fi internet: Free wi-fi internet worked very well everywhere in the hostel. Overall, I can highly recommend Ban Sheng Teik hostel for local and international travelers.

Very spacious, clean and well organised hostel. Comfortable beds with curtains. I am not sure, but I think there are at least 10 showers only for females. Super convenient! The receptionist is so professional and helpful, shared with you all the helpful information about Ipoh. Highly recommended!

I stayed here both times when I was in Ipoh. Room and common area were clean and tidy. Hostel is located near a night market, Malay food court (must try their satay and nasi goreng ayam), 2 amazing kopitiams for breakfast and brunch and a few famous (with tourist) chinese restaurants (nasi ayam tauge, hor fun, salted chicken).

really nice dorm “rooms”. since it’s not bunk bed style, it feels more spacious and no need to go up the stairs. very nice AC and big & pretty common areas. very good hot shower w strong water pressure.

the hostel is near McDonald and restaurant so food is no problem.

Environment n room condition facilities all superb fine
