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.

Basically the hotel is ok in term of location and service. If they can improve below 2 items then it is even better. a. Breakfast choice. Maybe i stay at monday but its choice is really limited. b. Swimming Pool. If the close time can be extend to 10pm instead of 7pm then it is good.

We were travelling on a rented motorbike from Penang to Ipoh just for a day visit to some restaurants we know. Along the way it rained heavily as we were about 20min from Ipoh. I decided to use Trip.com once again, and find a cheap hotel. My goodness, what a marvellous surprise for both of us, as it turned out to be such a lovely experience, almost like a 5 star hotel…… The room was gorgeous and facing mountains (west). Everything was perfect and clean. Bed & pillow were clean, smooth sheets and mega comfy! We didn’t eat at their restaurant, but looked nice (see photo). We will stay again, when we are back to Ipoh. PERFECT!!

The hotel claimed has reburbished… is a mixed feeling. Location is great, crew service is good, breakfast section is good… yet need to pay more attention to the neatness of upkeeping the room and maintenance… such as photo attaching… chipped mark of the door frame and surface, not sure is uncleanliness of uneven of painting, teared off of the wall paper, dirt and scratch marks on walls and linings, still using the plain carpet floor, which with some undescricabl“smell” especially if the moisture sill trapped, loud sound from the rest room ventilator, weak air flow of the hair blower… etc. Used tone one of the preferred hotel in Ipoh… hope the management truly look into the details. t

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

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)
