    The hostel is clean and comfortable, as you have kind of your own room.

    There wasn't any WiFi the entire time I was there. I let the person at the desk know right away, and in two days nothing was done about it. Have a good data plan if you are going to stay here. There was air-conditioning but it was set to whatever temperature the property decided (which wasn't much) and no fans to move the air around. So the air was stagnant. I had to go outside a few times just so the breeze could cool me off. They put up signs saying quiet time at 22:00, but no one enforces it. Each night we were there, a group of people were making noise well past midnight. You have to take off your shoes before entering from the hall, so you end up with dirt on your feet. If someone recently took a shower and brought water with them, then it made the floor slippery.

    You can't beat the price. Filtered water available. The bed was comfortable. The location was good. Only about a 15 minute walk to the train station.

    The facility is not clean, common areas like toilets, shower, lounge, sink, fridge, microwave, all dirty! No toilet paper provided, you are expected to use the bidet or bring your paper. The room is not sound proof, you hear everything! The two nights I stayed there, a guest has his alarm started at 4:30 and repeated every 15 mins till 5:30! Another guest went to bang his door to shout at him.. bring your earplugs and eyeshades!

    Location is the only reason why I stayed two nights there, it is 5 minutes walk from central bus station, where I can get buses to go to the long distance bus station in Ipoh and to the temples, also within walking distance to old town, little India. The room is clean when I checked in, but there is no cleaning service, so after 2 days, it is time to move out! The place is centrally air-conditioning. It is very cheap but not comfortable at all!

    It seems like they never clean the toilet, no one is throwing the tissue roll that was already ran out. I stayed there for 4 nights and the condition of the toilets since I first came till my last day is the same. I feel like they intentionally do not throw the tissue roll to give an impression that they give free common tissue for toilet use

    You can have your own little privacy since there are boarded up walls.

    It's a shame because if just a few basic things were done, then I would have given this review 8 stars. The bathrooms weren't clean, there was no toilet paper in any of the stalls. The stalls are showers combined with a toilet, which is fine, but they weren't cleaned once during my 3 night stay. The WiFi doesn't work, and when I asked about it the staff said that it wasn't very good - but it just didn't connect at all. Although this place does give you more privacy than a regular hostel, the rooms aren't completely private, there is a large gap between the top of each room wall and the ceiling so that you can hear everything other guests are doing, and if they turn on a light in their room, you'll wake up. This really isn't a big issue if you have respectful people staying there, however I struggled to sleep because some guests were inconsiderate. They'd be slamming doors, talking loudly at eachother, turning on lights at 1am and again at 7am. I think that this issue isn't so much of a problem in regular hostels, since you're literally sleeping in the same room as other guests, therefore you're naturally more aware of being noisy. The separate compartments at 'Spot On City Hostel' make it easier for guests to be rowdy. I know that this isn't technically the fault of the hostel itself, but it is a fault in the design of the place. The last thing to mention would be that there are bats in the building next door that are constantly squeaking. I mean genuinely nonstop, all day and they get louder at night. I've seen some people in the reviews for this place call them rats or birds, but they are definitely bats. Overall, if you're looking for somewhere cheap for a short stay, and if the cleaning and restocking was done better, I would recommend this place. I do however think that if you don't mind staying in a regular hostel, then you'd be able to find better accommodation elsewhere.

    My room was clean and they provide you with a towel and a bar of soap. The building is air-conditioned. The staff were friendly. Generally speaking the place looks newly refurbished and what you get for the price is decent. There is a well equipped common area on each floor with a microwave, fridge, toaster, sofas and racks to hang clothes to dry. The hostel is also in a pretty good location. Be aware that they don't allow any alcohol in the hostel, and they have other strict house rules, which some people might not like.

    Toilets and showers in the same room therefore the floor of the toilet was often wet. Toilet rolls were empty in the morning.

    Own room for a cheap price, towel included. Near the train station.

    I thought they separate they level for woman and man hostel but unfortunately they mix it. It is really comfortable and nice place but it feel unsafe when they mix it. Maybe I'm they one, who miss read the place haha but overall very nice place and nice staff.

    It is really near with KTM ETS and other attractions.

    I would have done without the legion of rats in the ceiling.

    To be honest I was surprised for the price. Yes the walls do not reach the ceiling and you can hear the other guests if they are noisy but you have to consider this offer as a dormitory with private space and not a bedroom. Showers were clean and drinking water available. For a night or two it works.
