Bunk & Bilik Hotel Jalan Ipoh - Hostel

It’s okay for a night while passing through, and the nearby MRT and walkable convenience store are handy. For a longer stay, I wouldn’t recommend it. The shared toilet was dirty and smelled bad, as did the fridge in the common area, which had leftover food. The dorm floor was dusty and not properly cleaned, and the room had an old hotel smell. Since people can bring shoes inside, there was also an unpleasant odor in the dorm. The layout seems outdated: the stated B2 parking is actually around the shoplot, the prayer room has been converted to something else, and the rooftop looks abandoned with dried leaves piled up. Mineral water was listed as provided, but none was available when I asked.

For under RM50, this was a great option for a solo stay. It felt clean and quiet, and had a distinctive atmosphere. I had trouble checking in late because there’s no receptionist after 8 PM, but once that was sorted, the stay went really well. One of my best stays.

We arrived outside the property at 1 AM after a flight delay on our first night, and nobody responded until we called customer service a second time. That was frustrating, but the room problems were worse. The water heater and fridge were both broken. We reported them the next day, yet they weren’t fixed until day five. After we were moved, the bed in the new room was very dirty, and after a few nights my back became really itchy. Noise from other rooms also kept us from resting at night. I’d stayed here once before, but after 11 days this time, there won’t be a third visit. I’d strongly suggest choosing another area.

I felt very welcome here, thanks to the friendly staff and excellent customer service. My room was clean, roomy, and comfortable, with a soft bed, minibar, and big TV. The hotel is also conveniently placed near MRT transport and other attractions. I had a great stay and would definitely come back.
