+Easy to reach from the train station and property was as advertised. Very clean and the individual rooms were comfortable. Air conditioning worked excellently.
−Common area for people to eat and hang out is not air conditioned. I’m sure this is common in SE Asia but I did not know ahead of time. If you are heat sensitive, this could be harder to deal with.

“An absolute amazing hostel, probably one of my favourite in SE asia.”
+The Brownstone hostel is amazing for anyone who is travelling as part of a group or by themselves. I stayed here with a couple of people I had met while travelling around SE Asia. The staff were very accommodating, took us around the Cameron Highlands on a private tour in their car, had a recommendations board and had the cutest kittens running around during our stay. Not once did I feel unsafe, lonely or bored within this hostel, and the staff could not have been nicer (especially our tour guide for the Cameron Highlands, Ming). This is by no means a party hostel; it is a very chill and relaxed place to stay, which is exactly what I was looking for. The beds were extremely comfy and spacious as well as the personal storage which was very secure and big enough for all of my stuff.

“Lots of Character!”
+Stayed one night here on my recent SE Asia trip. The hostel has an old-time feel to it with lots of cool antiques scattered around the place. But don’t think this place is old and crusty; it’s very modern where it counts, like the dorms, the toilets and the kitchen. The dorm beds are pod-like with privacy curtains and plenty of outlets to plug your devices. The air conditioning was blissfully cool in the dorms, but the bathrooms are an open air concept, so can be a bit steamy depending on the weather. This hostel was a short walk to a great night market, and a 20 minute walk to the Old Town. An excellent choice for the backpacker in Ipoh.

“최고의 게스트하우스”
+그동안 묵었던 게스트하우스 중에서 상당히 깔끔하고 좋습니다. 스탭이 아주 친절합니다. 버스 예약하는 방법, 주변 관광지 추천을 해줘서 즐겁게 여행했습니다

“Fantastic Hostel!!!”
+We loved staying at the Brownstone Hostel!! One of the nicest hostels we have stayed at. Everything was perfect! The owner was very friendly and nice to chat with. The family room was spacious and comfortable for our family of 4. We loved the hostel design; such a beautiful and fun place to stay at. Filtered water, tea and coffee available for guests. Great location; walking distance to Ipoh Old Town (maybe 15mn with kids in-tow) and great restaurants and cafes nearby. And the owner's cats are so cute!!!!
