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.

Rooms are large and have plenty of space. There are curtains on the beds. Beds are comfortable and clean. The hostel appears well maintained and clean. The common room is large. Bathrooms are large, especially the showers. Staff is very friendly and helpful. This needs to be improved. The beds have no light. Means that every time someone comes in, the big light in the room has to be switched on. This disturbs the peace and quiet and sleep at night. Lights urgently need to be fitted to the beds. There is no shelf by the bed. If you want to charge your cell phone or have other things nearby, everything is in the bed or on the floor. Urgently add shelves. If you want to take a shower and hot water, you have to press the switch for the respective shower behind the entrance door to get hot water. I didn't know this and nobody told me. So I had to take cold showers for the first two days. Another guest then showed me how to do it. Put up signs telling you how the showers work.

Check-in was straight forward. Room was spacious and clean with window, fan and air-conditioning. Filtered water dispenser available on-site. Good location, close to plenty of eating places.

Friendly staff, clean facilities and very spacious common area.

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

Environment n room condition facilities all superb fine
