Ban Sheng Teik in Ipoh is probably the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Malaysia. It’s new, spotless, and has a bohemian feel. Good location, everything you need is within walking distance. The bunk beds are super comfy, with curtains, lights, and charging plugs. Aircon and fan work well, and the section I stayed in was quiet at night. There’s a great, spacious common area with a kitchen, washer, and dryer, free of charge. While it lacks a true chill-out space for socializing, the setup is still very nice. Check-in/out is self-service, but the host is responsive and helpful via WhatsApp. Highly recommended for a clean, comfortable stay in Ipoh. You won't find better value for money.

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).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
