Nothing

Very beautifully designed with nice colours, big spacious dorms and bathrooms. Very comfortable, safe, and clean. The rooms are quiet, dark at night, and very comfortable with cozy beds. There is a kitchen with a fridge and they even sell ramen and instant coffee. 8min walk from train station and some tourist spots. There were almost no people here when I booked though. Self check-in. The owners were available only per whatsapp or wechat.

The dorm door slams loudly if not held while closing. Need more than 1 hangar/bed and a drying rack for towels; dryer out of service. Most Expensive dorm I’ve ever been in.

Good location, on Main Street, but my dorm was set back so not loud. Big clean and modern 4-man dorm & bathrooms. Two urinals, 3 toilet stalls, sinks and 4 shower stalls, all big and functional. Clean new linen. Code to enter bldg and room passed via WhatsApp after booking, card for bathroom left on bed with towel/toothbrush. I was the only one in the room, so no noise at all. Quiet AC and ceiling fan. Nice clean common area with quality kitchen/microwave/elec stovetop with pot and pan, glasses/mugs/plates/bowls/utensils. Full size fridge. Coffee/Milo/instant noodles for purchase.

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.

Nothing.

I was in the 4 bedroom female dorm and it was only me there during my stay. Bed was super comfortable, clean and spacious. There wasn't any lockers for my backpack but there was space between my bed to place my stuff. Had air-conditioning. Staff was super accommodating to let me leave my backpack at the hostel past checkout until my train arrived. They had laundry for free which I appreciated after travelling for awhile.

Didn't realise it was a hostel when I booked but one of the best places we stayed in Malaysia!

Not so keen on self check in. Like to see humans.

The place was great, very clean, great location.

Just fantastic - I was lucky and had a whole dorm to myself for the 2 nights I was staying. Really comfortable bed & super clean.

Stayed in June 2025

If there was a reception and staff it would make the place even more cozy, but this is just a tiny, tiny suggestion. Liked it very much.

Nice new facilities and big extras like a washing machine and a dryer I could use for free. Very comfy beds.

It was very quiet and didn’t have much atmosphere

Very new and modern hostel in the heart of Ipoh’s old town! Great amenities and extremely clean.

Stayed in May 2025

The only thing that could have improved was a window in the room, but not possible with the building layout and did have natural light from the skylight.

Clean and modern with a bit of rustic charm thrown in. Free washer/dryer extremely appreciated. I also liked the tuck shop available downstairs. Staff available via WhatsApp

Because it was new, not many backpackers HOWEVER I did not mind and enjoyed my peace and quiet!

The cleanest and most comfortable dorms ever! There was so much room in the dorm room (enough to fit a large suitcase that wouldn’t block people’s way),the bed was very comfortable and cosy, and there was a small table inside the bed to hold my toiletries. The location was very good and the bathroom was very clean! It was a really nice stay and the decor was very nice. Kitchen area was also great and clean.

The ceiling wasn’t solid in the room, there was a section that was just a plastic cover so it was very noisy at night and bright. Lots of road sound.

Lovely room with great facilities to use.

Stayed in May 2025

There was some leak at ground floor and the sounds of the highway was really loud. Proper sound proofing would be ideal at the windows and perhaps a solid door would help.

Cool design, clean and new

Nothing to complain :)

This is amazing place in a renovated old house. Looks like very modern apartment even if it's located in historical building. All the equipment is new, it's very clean. Rooms are spacious, offering privacy and good opportunity for relax. It is located a few min walking distance from the main train station and nearby Chinatown. You can find nice cafes or restaurants everywhere, also it is perfect location to discover amazingstreet art in Ipoh :)

Social was a negative

Really clean, modern and spacious rooms. Bathrooms clean too. There’s free washing machines with free detergent too which is a plus. Close to concubine lane which is nice and within walking distance to most attractions.

Probably the best Hostel I’ve stayed in 3 months, feels more like a hotel than a hostel. It’s brand new so everything is new and feels quality. I was upgraded to a 4 bed room too. Will defo be coming back if I go back to Ipoh

I liked everything.

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.
