Copthorne Hotel Cameron Highlands
4/10 Poor
"The checkin process is terrible.. The checkin time given was 2:30 PM. We reached the hotel by 3:30 PM.. We need to get a token to go to the reception desk.. There was a waiting time of about 50 mins just to reach the reception desk for checkin.
After so much wait, when reached checkin desk - they simply told - Room is not ready.. Howcome, when the checkin time in 2:30 PM, even at 4:30 PM the room is not ready. (We even paid 100% payment in advance)
The wait area is also jam-packed. When coming with the kids & infant - it super uncomfortable after a long travel.
Adding to that - it the feedback that Room is not ready, and we were asked to wait for another 30 mins.
Finally got the room key by around 5:30 PM. When we went to the room - no towels, toiletries were kept inside.
There is no direct calling facility to the room-service. We need to send a Whatsapp message, and they will revert..
Overall, for the size of the hotel & the fare they charge - the prompt service needs a lot of improvement.
Also, please improve the Breakfast dining area. No space to sit on Sunday morning due to crowd. Please make space for more people to eat peacefully, rather searching for tables. "
"The rooms were average, but several maintenance issues were noticeable. There were broken tiles and a damaged health faucet in the bathroom. The room also lacked convenient features such as a USB charging port or an international power socket. Additionally, the water fountain and the surrounding area in the backyard were poorly maintained. Overall, it did not feel like good value for money.

"Nice hotel, very strategically located.
The restaurant has variety food to cater for all.
Word of caution for the Biryani served at adjacent joint. The egg they give you is really bad."
"The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially the young man at reception during check-in and the breakfast restaurant manager.
However, the overall experience was average. The room for two was quite small and rather dark, although it was clean and nicely maintained. The bathroom is in the typical Malaysian style, so after showering the whole floor becomes wet. A floor squeegee would really help. The towels had visible stains, which was disappointing.
In the restaurant, many of the chair covers were stained. Breakfast options were limited for a European guest – mostly toast and beans. I tried some of the local dishes, but they felt too heavy for breakfast. On a positive note, the samosas and spring rolls were very good.
Overall, it was an okay stay, but there is room for improvement.

"1- The sink is clogged.
2- There are hotel guests who gather near the
room area CHATTING and LAUGHING
LOUDLY until late night and it disturbs
our sleep."
"The overall cleanliness of the room was below acceptable standards. The furniture was poorly maintained and felt outdated, as if sourced from second-hand stores many years ago. The in-room safe was not functioning properly.
Breakfast was extremely disappointing. The food was cold, the selection was very limited, and birds were eating directly from the buffet tables, which raised serious hygiene concerns. We dined at three different restaurants during our stay, and the food quality was consistently low. The professionalism of the service staff was also lacking. On one occasion, I observed staff carrying food with their thumbs inside the bowls, directly touching the food.
Service was difficult due to communication issues. Several waiters avoided eye contact when we tried to request items, and some did not speak English, making basic interactions challenging.
The only positive aspect of this hotel is its beautiful location and breathtaking landscape. Unfortunately, this alone does not compensate for the poor standards in cleanliness, food quality, and service. I cannot recommend this hotel."
