What was good:

Wonderful hosts, who really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Introduced us to good food locations and actually took us out in their family car to the more exotic late night food places. At the end of the trip, it was bittersweet as we had made close friends.

Space itself is spartan, simple and clean. Don't expect 5 star luxury at this price, lets be realistic. But suggest you communicate your needs to the hosts and they should accomodate. They bent backwards to handle a special request we made and were super flexible. 

Location location location. EDM Space is walking distance of great food locations. Right smack in the middle of the city. 

Unusual Outdoor Rain Shower. They have an outdoor open shower on the roof top. Pretty private space. Water is clean and it is fun to shower in the noon day sun or moonlight. 

What wasn't so good:

Simple accommodations mean just that. If it is the peak season you might be placed in a simple partitioned space and sleep on a Japanese style futonon the floor. So ensure that you contact the hosts and be specific with your needs and also be willing to pay a bit more for a more private space.
 
Bulk of accommodation are upstairs, and if you don't have good knees it could be a problem. But again, these are more affordable accommodations and perhaps aimed at a segment of the population that is more nimble (and ahem, younger). 

Potential for theft, ensure that you get a locker key and store your valuables in them.

In summary, an excellent experience, a great price, and well worth a visit again.

Good Price, Special Experience but Spartan Accommodation.

We really enjoyed our time here. We stayed in one of the privat spaces which was fun to experience. The owner and his family were super nice and helpful :) Their employee from Indonesia is doing a great job on keeping the place very clean & is an incredibly nice & lovely person. And we loved the little kitty & the rabbit! Sooo cute. 

I think it really is up to the people who stay
in the privat or open spaces to be considerate of others during the night time  (don't turn on the lights after 12, be quiet & don't listen to loud music - i mean who does that? XD)

It is true that the Wifi isn't the best, but it was sufficient for texting & looking up stuff. 

So overall a great place to stay in Ipoh (it is very close to the center). 

We would totally stay here again ;) 

Really nice place to stay in Ipoh. 

I stayed there for few days, receptionist was a little girl with her two sisters . All primary school children. They were polite and nice. The place is quite clean and Indonesian maid doing a good job. But, the place was given to me was surprising a sandbag inside living room, something I never have seen in my life. Rooms which I saw were paper thin walls and open ceiling, even turning on light in one room, could bright next rooms. Place was crazy noisy, they allow and prefer big group locals to stay and mostly Chinese, which are quite noisy and don't care much about surrounding area and other people. I didn't get good feeling like a proper hostel to make friends and meet people. Staircase was quite noisy to upper floor and early morning, before 7 u could hear loud noise of kids going up and down. They use hostel area also as playground of kids and their friends. I couldn't get a good sleep. WiFi was horrible, I used my phone data instead. And the user with two reviews of this guesthouse Mr. Marcus, is the owner. So I thing it's not right to give good reviews about our own property

Not a proper hostel, noisy but clean

Paid for private space and checked in to private room. However we were moved to shared room 3 hours after check in when we were out. We went back to hostel to try to cancel and the owner are unable to help us to cancel. Asked us to directly settle with hotels.com instead. I really at wits end as my credit card has been swiped 2 days before. We still try to maintain a happy stay. We asked about parking around the area. Owner told us that it's free without parking coupon needed. Next morning we got a RM20 fine for street parking without coupon... That's really the last straw!!! Terrible unpleasant stay 😡

Unpleasant stay

If you're like me and the company I was travelling with; adventurous, you'll love this place. Outdoor showers and common room with bean bags and ps3 over wide screen TV. Aroma dispenser and air conditioned. We were told that we were the first ones to sleep in the attic dormitory, and it was awesome. I love the bean bed. The place is clean and well kept. For a price you have to pay it's a win.
