Cameronian Inn

This hotel is a real gem of a place. Tucked away on the quieter side of Tanah Rata, but within easy walking distance of everything and with wonderful service and rooms, we were pleasantly surprised by this great hotel. Service was impeccable, the room wonderful (with the first wonderful bathroom we had had since we arrived in Malaysia), and we enjoyed so much coming back to our hotel after a day of treking. We would also highly recommend the reflexology massage place along the main road in Tanah Rata. Just what you need to ease your aches and pains! Breakfast could be improved but considering other places we stayed in, it's still above average.

Location is walking distance to the main town of Tanah Rata. Breakfast is okay, toilet facility is okay though the heater does not work once and the toilet unable to be flushed because there was no water. Just okay for a short stay, not great.

The Cameron Highlands aren't the cheapest place in Malaysia to stay, but this hotel is really good value for money in comparison to some other places we looked at. It's small and quaint, we had the double room with private bathroom and it was a good size with a window to outside (I think the shared bathroom rooms have a window into the hallway). The shower was good pressure and there was always hot water which is nice in the cooler temperatures, the bed was comfy too. We loved the garden area, we are our breakfast out there and then relaxed on the sun chairs, some really pretty flowers too. Yen, the host, is really helpful and there's good maps of nearby jungle treks in reception (you need to be FIT to do these treks!) Only negative is the Wi-Fi. While I don't mind not having Wi-Fi in the room, it was still really bad in public areas and people were competing for it. For people like ourselves planning our onward journey, we didn't find the Wi-Fi good enough at all.

We asked the lady at the front desk if we could switch rooms after we discovered suspicious black dots on the mattress which is evidence of a bed bug infestion, however, she claimed they check the mattresses often and said they all have black dots and she was unwilling to let us see other rooms. She said if we got bed bug bites she would let us change, but this would have been after the fact and discovered possibly after we had left, as bed bugs bites can take time to appear. Luckily we did not get bed bugs, but please be careful and do a thorough inspection. Breakfast was reasonably priced and prepared in a timely manner. You can even request the night before to have it ready at a certain time the next day if you need to catch a tour. Also, the man working the desk gave excellent instructions for trail 10.

Very very disappointed, firstly with the attitude of the female receptionist throughout my short stay, I checked the allocated room but decided to upgrade for a private bathroom and it seemed like I was asking for the world ! Checked the next room (20) which was dark, festered with mosquitoes and smelled fusty and damp. The hot water supply was very dodgy together with lack of power points due to the tv/digital box. Why advertise WiFi in rooms which is totally false. I was very tempted to move elsewhere but having paid for my stay, decided to remain for the 3 nights. I spoke with staff nearby who asked where I was staying and when told they informed me that “she” didn’t care about guests as they were only passing through which obviously is true. I was charged for hot water from a flask in reception which was part of a very strange ordering of food/drinks system. When I informed staff that I did not want my room cleaned/serviced to save wasting time the receptionist said rooms were only cleaned once a week only, that explains the dank smell & condition. I have stayed at numerous hotels/guesthouses etc and this has got be one of the worst ! On a positive note, the gentleman who seemed to be in charge was most pleasant and the outside seating area very clean & attractive with flora. There seemed to be other rooms off the courtyard which “looked” ok from the outside. I will let other guests judge for themselves, some must be luckier !

really peaceful place, not by the main road so its away from the car noises. really hot shower available if required! the best of this place i would say its their scones, it is a must must must try! english tea with scones for breakfast at a peaceful and cooling outdoor environment is priceless. only downside is at night noise would seem to be obvious, other than that everything was perfect.

I just love the atmosphere in the cameronian inn. It felt like home. The toilets were squeaky clean and the room was very comfortable for travelers like me. Spent 2 nights here and hoping to come here again in future. The owner is very helpful and kind. Just to remind, we need to speak in low volume at night so that we won't disturb others to sleep. During my stay here, everyone understood the rule, so we all have good sleep at night. :)

Peaceful little place at a corner of town. Personally, I hate mosquitoes. Would love to leave the windows open wide for the cool fresh air, but I'd risk them mosquitoes buzzing in. Problem solved with some repellent though :p

Only minus was lack of wifi in the room

Pros: Cheap. Money value. Strategic. Clean. Cons: No fans, it is hard to sleep without circulating air.

Nice and cozy place to stay. Good distance from the noisy street and yet within walking distance to town. Very convenient to eating stalls and restaurants. Friendly owner and helpful. I'll always come to book this place whenever me and my family come for holiday.

We book a room at this place for our first night in Tanah rata. The pictures from their website look promising. But this what unfortunately not the case. The room and house we stayed in was worn down and the room had an awful smell of mold. Plus if the other guests are noisy you will hear everything.

I booked the double room, it is a private room in a hostel. The room was dark and very minimal. The room has a window open to the hallway that doesn't seal so it was noisy and I could always hear people talking in the lobby. The hostel provides good information on hiking trails though and has a breakfast menu.

It was not expensive- value for money and walking distance to main facilities such as restaurants, bus station etc.

A good room for the price. We had one night here and it was perfectly fine for that

Staff wasn't that accomodating

should have more parking lots

Cute little cottage set up, but very quiet and out of the way a bit. Staff were friendly but nit an amazing stay -just average

WiFi only in communal area. Decent location and cheap. Ok for budget travelers not staying long

Good restaurants walking distance away so no worries about food. The place is well maintained and has some nice hiking maps for hikers.
