Nice location. There are lots steep stairs might not suitable for pushchairs or seniors. Otherwise is really beautiful place to stay.

It was an amazing experience, everything was perfect. Loved it.

Ok, I have no axe to grind and I do understand that this is an old place which harks back to the 1930s and 40s. Also, the staff were wonderful. But. I had to recheck the description on the Hotels.com website for the Raffles suite. The pictures were clearly the room type that I had booked but the room had been dressed for the photos. Reality was vastly different. The room was dingy, slightly mildewy and tatty. The bathroom was a disaster area. The eco light bulb shed a dim glow over a hostel like toilet bowl, basin and bath. There were no plugs for the bath nor basin and the massage shower in the room description was of the waterpik shower hose attachment they used to advertise on tv in America in the 70s. No hook on the wall to hang it from though. Morning of departure had no hot water coming through for a shower. The 30 inch LCD tv had 2 working channels. One lightbulb beside the bed had blown so it was impossible to read. A kettle was provided but with a puny 3 foot cable meant you had to put the thing on the floor to boil it. With a bit of investment this could be so much better but I would not recommend it now.

The Family Suite, 1 Bedroom was switched to another room as my guests were not willing to climb the steep hill everytime. But the room given was not a Family Suite, 1 Bedroom, yet the receptionist told us, same rate only different design.

The place have an interesting concept, however it needs to be renovated. While the room itself is nice, the bathroom is very bad and loosy - it’s doesn’t match the style and it wasn’t nice to use it. Also, the towels are very old and in bad state, it feels like the owners save money on everything. WiFi never worked. The price for staying is overrated. Same comes for the price for the restaurant and especially, breakfast - it’s very basic for 40 ringgits. On the good side, the personal was always nice and helpful. Scones are good (though, pricey and comes with the basic tea). The territory around looks nice. If management wasn’t that greedy, it would be a really perfect place to stay. Right now, it’s not. It needs improvements.

1) important thing no toilet paper 2) food no worth the price 3) pillow & bed not comfortable 4) the place take photo super nice

Cosy and remote compared to many of the larger hotels we saw in the area. Quirky (if dated) colonial time warp!

很不满意，因为房间的床单，被单和枕头套都很肮脏，酒店比较旧，清洁做的很差，工作人员也不戴口罩，服务很一般，反正这体不是很满足，房间价格也不值得，只是酒店外观很好看而已

The hotel itself is very charming with a lot of history and character and well worth the visit. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and dinner at a reasonable cost during our stay. Our room and the service however were both a little disappointing. Room run down and in need of attention. i.e. - broken toilet seat, furniture covered with dead ants, cobwebs throughout room etc. No fridge or heating/cooling. Wifi virtually non-existent. Room not serviced for our 3 day stay despite this being part of advertised package. Advertised shuttle bus into town not currently operating. Not enough staff and subsequently they were all run off their feet - potentially covid related. Despite this, staff were pleasant and helpful, just sparse.

Our stay in Cameron Highlands was fair. The traffic and road conditions getting there were difficult to say the least. Be sure to go during the week and not on a weekend as traffic will cause delays. Be prepared for windy and narrow roads. Most of the sites seemed gimmicky or required more time driving. Overall, we were disappointed.
