a great stay at Meru suites. huge rooms, friendly staff that will go the extra mile for a service for customers. great team, clean rooms as well. Quiet at night making it a wonderful stay. Only downside is the location as it is situated a 15mins drive away from town, but for such a wonderful stay I would not mind to come back here again.

I had a wonderful stay at M Roof Hotel in Ipoh. The room was very clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were polite and helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth. The location is great — easy to get to Ipoh’s famous food spots and attractions, but still quiet and peaceful. I also enjoyed the hotel facilities and the overall design, which felt fresh and stylish. Definitely good value for money.

Newly renovated room on 8 floor. Very decent room and breakfast for the pricing. Parking outside the hotel . Good location near to airport and petrol station. Hotel is under renovation but still is decent enough. 41 RM for breakfast for 1 pax seem cheaper than booking online which is for 2 pax and higher price.

Is a building by itself, friendly staff and big room. It has good water pressure and a laundry room on level 3. Need to drive or call a grab to go to eateries. For the price is ok to catch a grab out. Only negative part is the TV not many channels. Some channels will only start at certain time. This is 3rd time staying here, and I have also extended another night here Nearby have a bakery called Shake and Bake. Can try there

Lokasi mmg sgt strategik if nak ronda2 kawasan Concubine Lane, Funtasy Trick, 22 Hale Street Museum, Platform Half, Gabriel Cafe, Pekan Lama Cafe dll. Just around the corner sahaja. Mike Pizza, Rojak Padang, Nasi Ayam Taugeh dan lain lain. Untuk mereka yg travel gunakan train n bus, sesuai sgt. If nak travel ke Tasik Cermin, Gunung Lang bagai, kena ada transport sendiri. The staff is friendly. Ada cerek letrik, tapi kena beli 3in1 kalau tgh malam rasa nak minum. Malam, mmg x der apa lah. Kalau nak g Gerbang Malam, boleh je jalan kaki dlm 27 mins kalau rasa larat la. But for my family, kami rela jalan kaki walau jauh. Dpt menikmati view malam yg kosong dan view siang yg menyesakkan. Kami stay at family room with double queen bed. Walau bilik sedikit sempit but still comfortable. Bukan nak duduk bilik sepanjang masa right? Bilik air luas sgt, boleh masuk la 5/6 orang dalam tu. Keadaan bau tu, bg kami ok je ala2 macam bau lama, bangunan lama. Especially kat lif. Dlm bilik x dak bau yg kurang menyenangkan. Selesa. Iron, disediakan depan lif. Yes, hotel ni ada lif. Bg yg x larat nak angkut beg beso naik turun tangga, jgn risau. Ada lif sedia tuk digunakan. Ada juga water dispenser kat dapur kalau malas nak masak air dlm bilik. Belakang bangunan ada medan selera. Pagi boleh la lapik perut sbelum gerak ronda tuk food hunting yg sebenar. Ada jam beso yg cukup time berbunyi. Nak jalan ke ets amik masa dlm 15-20 mins. Kalau dr stesen bas Jalan Bendahara, dalam 27 mins. We prefer berjalan je semua. Baru feel ala2 tourist di negara sendiri.

The location was excellent - but having a car made it easier for us to get there and get around. The room was clean and comfortable and checkin was smooth as well. The real highlight, though, was breakfast, especially the cucur bawang. Our team probably cleared the plate as soon as it hit the buffet. The breakfast spread was modest but thoughtfully prepared, and everything tasted delicious.

Reasonable price, I like the bed is soft and comfortable. Just no parking need to find and park around in front of hotel only. This hotel is seem like building and then renovating to hotel not a proper hotel and it not so much far from the town, easy to find food to eat. Have the ironing available in room but careful when you iron, if not it will spoil like my dress. Lucky I always prepare extra one dress when I travel for work so I still have the dress to wear.

Clean compact but poorly lit room; generally pretty basic. A fridge would have been useful. Breakfast was included but I would have opted for a discounted no-breakfast option, if one had been available. Sadly the complementary high tea was also not worth the calories. Proximity to a large mall was a key plus.

When I arrived at the hotel entrance door with both my hands holding luggage and bag, the door guide was at the side of the door and wont even help to push open the door. I had to unload my bags on floor and push open the door myself. My room elecronic door lock has problem that it cannot open with key card. The reception offer alternative to provide manusl, physical key , but I requsted o change room, then its ok. The location is good, within short walking distance to many eatery and biskuit shops. The room is very clean. The TV has a good reception. Free Wifi is provided. bath room is reasonbly spacious, shower water is strong enough. Room space is big enough. I stayed in deluxe king room. A deposit Rm 100 is collected upon check in. Paid Rm3 at check in ref. Government regulation.

Food is fabulous surrounding this neat & well maintained hotel. Staffs & Management was very courteous, friendly and hospitable. There is a 7-11 just a few steps away from this property with many ammeneties and personal items jyst in case you need. Not to mention the convenience of drinks, smokes & snacks if you need it midnight. Parking is very convenient right in front of the Hotel but municiple attendents starts summoning cars after 8am if you forget to pay for the Parking fees... Other than that, i will definitely choose This Hotel again Whenever i visit Ipoh city... Ohhh btw, there is a Nanyang Village Restaurant just opposite Lotus Mall nearby the hotel...food is fabulous and lobing owners Jim & Amy are very good chefs preparing such GOOD Breakfast & lunch... GOOD to pop by to Enjoy too😍😍😍😎🍭🍭🍭

Understanding the Weather in Cameron Highlands

The Overall Climate

The weather in Cameron Highlands is best described as a tropical highland climate. Unlike the typical tropical climate in the rest of Malaysia, Cameron Highlands enjoys a much cooler temperature throughout the year, with an average high of about 22°C and a low of around 14°C. This soothing climate, akin to a spring-like weather, is one of the main reasons why so many people visit this beautiful hill station.

Seasonal Variations

The weather in Cameron Highlands can be divided into two primary seasons: the **dry season** and the wet season.

Dry Season (February to April, July to August)

The dry season in Cameron Highlands is marked by minimal rainfall, clear skies, and beautiful sunshine. The temperature remains pleasantly cool, providing an excellent opportunity for outdoor activities like hiking, exploring the tea plantations, and visiting the strawberry farms.

Wet Season (May to June, September to January)

The wet season in Cameron Highlands witnesses more rainfall. However, it's worth noting that despite the rain, the weather is still relatively cooler compared to other parts of Malaysia. Even in the wet season, there's a certain charm as the rain enhances the greenery and makes the landscapes appear more vibrant.

Best Time to Visit Cameron Highlands

While Cameron Highlands is a year-round destination, the best time to visit depends on the activities you're interested in. If you're keen on outdoor activities and want to avoid rainfall, the dry months from February to April and July to August are ideal.

Preparing for the Weather in Cameron Highlands

Regardless of when you choose to visit, here are a few tips to help you prepare for the weather in Cameron Highlands:

1. Carry a light jacket or sweater as it can get chilly, especially during the evenings.

2. If you're visiting during the wet season, don't forget to pack an umbrella or a raincoat.

3. Always wear sunscreen, even when it's cloudy, as UV rays can be strong.

4. Stay hydrated, even if the weather is cool.
