Edm Space Ipoh - Hostel

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.
