Hostels in Perak, Malaysia

The BEST hostel I’ve been in my 7 countries Asian trip. The location, the services, the cleaniliness, the attention, all were great. The hotel is on a renovated old building with exquisite details and curated decoration elements. Everything is clean. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are big enough to have your small backpack in it. There’s a curtain for privacy and it wasn’t crowded. The other guest were very mindful of others. This hotel is relatively new, they opened in Nov 2025 so, it’s still getting known in the travel world. You can use the kitchen that has all the implements to cook, store items in the fridge and prepare a breakfast with ingredients that the hotel provides… free, great breakfast! If you need a towel they give you one at no charge… for now. The location is great. You can walk to the old town of the city and Concubine ln. It’s a really nice walk. That part of the city saw a past splendor and the buildings show it. There are several restaurants around, even some fast food. Two things I would review if I was the owner… I waited for an hr before getting my room while other people got settled immediately. My dorm only had 2 ppl in it, the room was ready when I got there. If you have a bed available, just give away even when there’s no the time. It means a lot to the guest that in general has been traveling long hrs, especially if it’s a small place with not many people. The other thing is to teach us (ignorant westerners), how to use the electric shower heater. I couldn’t make it work because I couldn’t find the on/off button. A small sign could have solved my and others’ frustrations. The owners are doing an excellent job at the hotel. I’m planning to come back so I’ll be a guest again at the Brownstone.

Das Hostel ist super gelegen, das Zimmer ist toll und die Kissen sind genau wie auf den Fotos. Man kann die Terrasse und die Lounge zum Entspannen nutzen, und Bad und separates WC sind nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Es ist wirklich eine sehr komfortable Unterkunft, und der Empfang war fantastisch. Ich kann es wärmstens empfehlen! 😁😁

The hostel was very responsive to all my requests. It a very cosy place and only 20 minutes walk from the railway station and food is plentiful around the hostel with 3 food courts just opposite the hostel.

Die Einrichtungen und der Service im Hostel sind gut. Der Zimmerzustand ist subjektiv. 1. Der Schaden wird vor der Öffnung für die nächste Kundennutzung nicht behoben. Diese Schäden beeinflussen nicht die Nutzung des Zimmers, sondern sind eine schlechte Darstellung. 2. Der Schienenschrank für das untere Bett ist nicht versteckt, mit einer Schraubenexposition könnte den Oberbettnutzer leicht zu schneiden, was passiert, meine Tochter. 3. Wenn Renovierungsarbeiten aus sind, gibt es keine sofortige Reinigung des gemeinsamen Bereichs, die ganze Stelle Staub vor allem der Boden verursacht. Ich denke, der Reiniger kam in den Boden später zu bewegen. 4. Der Lärm aus dem benachbarten Nachtclub hoffentlich können sie vor 2 Uhr aus.

The host was very friendly and helpful, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Overall, it felt safe and welcoming. Just a small note for future guests: this homestay has a “quiet hour” policy, which means you should avoid making noise — no music, no loud conversations, and try to keep your voice low in the room. During our stay, my friends and I received a noise complaint, even though we were not being loud. It may have come from another traveler nearby. So it’s important to be extra careful during quiet hours to avoid misunderstandings. Overall, I would recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay, as long as you are mindful of the quiet hour rules
