Hotel Seri Malaysia, Genting Highlands, Malaysia
Best suited for families with own transport and willing to cut some corners by compromising a bit on the distance from the Genting highland.
As with any other Genting hotels, the rates are seasonal here with all the customary peaks and super-peaks. But being at down-hill, the rates are comparatively less than the hotels at top with a super-peak period rate of 200MYR for a standard room.
Hotel's located amidst a non-descript shopping complex at Gohtong Jaya. That said rooms are neat, well maintained and comes with all standard amenities.
Housekeeping standards are good and if ever you end up finding something not in order, the staff's willingness to help negates for it.
The room windows open to the adjacent plots and bushes - definitely dissappointing for those in the lookout for deep valleys or misty mountain views.
Reception desk and hotel staff are helpful in putting up to our needs and check-in was a breeze despite the peak crowds. Breakfast is typical continental spread with some Malay
dishes and altogether making it an average to good one.
Cable car station is 2 minutes away and so is the Genting strawberry farm. All in all, fits the the bill for those who'd want to enjoy Genting yet stay away from the overrated hotels on top.
