I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel, surrounded by beautiful gardens and a friendly atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. The rooms were spacious and offered lovely views, but the lack of shower cubicles was a bit inconvenient. The service was attentive, always ready to help, yet the dining options could use a bit more variety. Overall, it’s a nice place to relax, especially for those who prefer a quieter environment away from the hustle and bustle.

The hotel is situated in a great location for exploring the Cameron Highlands, between Tanah Rata and Brinchang, which made getting around easy. The rooms have a charming old-time style with modern amenities, though they can get quite noisy due to the traffic from the main road. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the service lacked attention in certain areas. The dining experience was simple yet enjoyable, and while the hotel had some nice features, the inability to securely store luggage after checkout was inconvenient, especially for families with kids.
