I booked 2 superior rooms at the First World Hotel from the 13th-15th June. We drove there ourselves and it took us about 5 hours to finally reach the car park of First World Hotel. Checking in was a breeze at the self check-in machines. The rooms are small but adequate for our purpose. There is no AC only a... More

Room was small, no walking space. No view of theme park, close to opposite neighbour.TV only had 12 channels, worse than newly renovated rooms.Check in time waited for 1.5 hour as machine did not work, feels like queuing up to see a doctor. Toilet was small, floor flooded easily.No wardrobe space, quite cramped.. Basic small bed & one small table.... More

We booked their World Club room this time and it didn't dissapoint. Located at the 27th-28th floor, you got quite a stunning view of Genting. In the morning when the weather's clear, you're actually above the clouds! Very spacious with a living room and sofa. Big, clean and modern bathroom. Breakfast was at the 28th floor, separated from the masses.... More

Overall stay wasn't that bad but the ugly checking-out experience simply overshadowed everything. I was supposed to check-out at 12 noon but my session at Snow World only ends 12.10pm. I called the reception at around 11am to enquire if it was ok that I check-out around half an hour late. The receptionist told me there wouldn't be any problem... More

Stayed from 8-10 June. The room has two single beds. The table-top and carpet was dusty. The bathroom was clean. Only bare basic items were provided - a box of tissues, a small tube of conditioning shampoo, two round bars of soap, two bath towels, one floor towel, a small note pad and a pencil, two platics cups and a...

Travelled to Genting Highlands from 28 - 30 Apr 2013. 1. HOTEL ROOM I went to Genting again within 3 months’ time to get some fresh mountain air. I chose First World Hotel again but I decided against the World Club Room because it was so much steeper compared to having 2 adjoining Deluxe Rooms for 2 nights. The check-in... More

When my family suggested for a quick weekend holiday at Genting Highlands, I for one wasn't enthusiastic on the idea. You see we have been to some better theme parks in recent years and having visited Genting Highlands numerous times before, I didn't put too much hope for this to become a good holiday destination. We had booked a standard... More
