But the people here are so friendly, from travelling advice to where the good restaurants are in town. They also have great common area's where its nice... More

Great place, father's guest house moved about a year ago to their new accommodation. The pictures on their website are outdated. A pity, as the new accommodation is modern, clean, cosy and very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and somehow they spread their friendly and positive attitude towards their guests. No noise or any other nuisance from other the... More

Rooms and bathrooms are clean, mostly sharing bathrooms. Free tea and coffee. Free wifi on all floors. No footwear allowed to be worn... More

We arrived CH by bus from Penang, when we arrived here, it started to become dark, Father guesthouse is very close the bus station, so we can walk. We had a warm welcome from Bella (may be not exactly :D), she's so nice and helpful. Our room is a twin room, small but very clean and comfortable, very easy to... More

We just drove back to the din of the city from Father's and must say we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay with our almost 4 year old active son! We had a private double with extra bed on the ground floor and even though we were charged extra for holiday time, it was worth every penny for a... More

My stay at Father's was just awesome - it was a really cosy home far away from home! The rooms are excellent, super clean and spacious. Lots of great common areas inside and outside and as much coffee and tea as you might drink. Very, very friendly and so helpful staff! Two minute walk from the main street with shops/restaurants/post/laundry/ATM.... More

Don't consider Father's Guesthouse as a hostel, but more as a backpackers hotel. The staff is super friendly, helpful and relaxed. Accomodation is clean, spotless and modern! Location: 5 minute walk to the center. Another big pro of this guesthouse, is the tours they offer. We took a 5hrs guided hike to a tea plantation, and the guide was top... More

Fathers is great. Nice people, good service, they are willing to help you having a nice stay in Cameron highlands. All maps of the trails are on the walls. There is also a place to dry your laundry in the garden

Just a few minutes walk from the main town and beautiful grounds make this a great place to stay. Most hostels just provide a place to sleep, but the beautiful property here really makes a difference. This is a quiet place to stay and an excellent choice.

Arriving at Fathers, is just a 2 minute walk from the main town. We chose a double room which was excellent. Clean, comfortable and affordable! Free wifi is always a bonus and they have it here throughout the buildings and grounds. They also have excellent links with local tours (mossy tour was brilliant). Overall perfect for couples and very welcoming... More
