-breakfast totally enjoyable -water refill possible 24/7 -many many plants and a great interior -possible bike & scooter rental

A really great hostel: - helpful efficient staff at checkin, building has been fitted out very well with many indoor and outdoor spaces, all with ceiling fans to move the air, and plenty of power outlets around. there is a nice plant theme throughout (but mosquitos are fairly limited). dorms are excellent with aircon, great beds with high spaces, privacy curtain, light & power outlet, large secure locker for each bed. simple free breakfast is a nice touch too. kitchen available. some cold drinks for sale. easy walk to local food outlets, bars, supermarket, and 15mins to historic quarter.

To the Team at Brownstone, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience I had during my recent stay at your hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made me feel instantly at home.   The staff members were truly outstanding. Their willingness to assist with everything from laundry to making a latte was incredibly appreciated. Their kindness, warmth, and great personalities created a welcoming and enjoyable environment. The comfort and amenities provided exceeded my expectations in every way. The overall experience was so positive that I have already recommended your hotel to many friends and family. Thank you again for making my stay so memorable. I will definitely be returning in the future. Hugs. Darlene (guest at Rex, from 13 to 17 October 2024

Everything about this hostel is perfect. It is clean and comfortable, the staff are always friendly, and the common areas are fantastic. The rooftop area is beautiful. They even give you a quick tour of the property when you check in. The free breakfasts are great too with a variety of options, and the free tea/coffee/milo at any time of the day is great too. Great location — a little far from the main tourist areas, but it’s in the heart of the city with the locals and close to the mall if you need anything, so no complaints! :)

We stayed there 3 years ago, and came back, and it was just as nice was we remembered! The owner/staff were very friendly and nice to chat with. The room was spacious and comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean with hot water. We loved the hostel design; such a beautiful and fun place to stay at. Filtered water and washer available for guests. Great location; within walking distance to Ipoh Old Town (less than 15mn walk) and nice restaurants and cafes nearby. And the owner's cat is so cute!!
