Cheap but depressing

The staff were pleasant and professional, but everything else about this hotel was depressing. The rooms were small, the corridors amplified every noise, the beds were simply terrible. It would not take much to provide better mattresses but instead they retain the thinnest and cheapest. Inside it is gloomy and dismal. The cistern in the toilet kept dispensing water into the bowl noisily so we had to turn it off at the tap. There was a lot of noise from adjacent land too - neighbours were mowing lawn and sawing branches all afternoon long.

Crisy

Cheap but not cheerful

Crisp bed linens, mostly clean but some with small stains still visible, horrible old bobbly blanket. Good communal indoor space with sofas, TV and books, albeit out of the 00's.
Fairly clean throughout but a few areas that need improvement walls in rooms very dirty and could do with a paint refresh/scrub, shutter style glass windows very dusty and switches and sockets grubby. Lovely manicured garden with plenty of seating although needs some recliner chairs for better relaxation potential.
Very small rooms that feel like a prison cell. Old but basic furniture provided in rooms. Nice and cheap breakfast options. Helpful and easy owner.No a/c or fan but don't worry definitely not needed as much cool climate.

Basic hotel that has gotten old with age

Conveniently located, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Furniture in room and common area is old, torn and dusty. Towel rack is rusty and tap leaks causing the floor to be constantly wet. General condition of this place is old. Time for revamp. Only upside is for those with walking difficulty, there's a small lift to help them instead of climbing stairs. Depending on person on duty, you can have a great or poor customer service experience. We will not be back.

Stayed in a Cameron Highland a night at KRS Pines.I was disappointed with their services. I came late to check in and the receptionist does not entertains me well and no smiles present at all when checking in. Secondly, when I go to the room, my room does not publish \"Kiblat\". Thirdly, the bed in the room was bad and old.

Cheap but you can get better value for money

The rooms are more like office cubicals than actual rooms, my window was actually an internal window which opened straight into another room which meant for any privacy I had to keep the curtains drawn. My sheets were not fresh, I found both long dark and blonde hairs in my bed (I’m a red head so they definitely were not mine). The staff were never around, didn’t see anyone again after I checked in. I backpack a lot and usually stay in hostels so I’m not afraid to rough it but this was more expensive than a hostel and yet the worst place I have stayed in Malaysia. Yes it was cheap and you get what you pay for but in this case you can defiantly get better value staying elsewhere. I would not recommend staying at KRS pines at al!

Bad experience, extremely uncomfortable

The room feels like a psychiatric facility and the walls are plastic so that you can here children shouting and other guests snoring all night. The mattresses are rock hard and thin and pillows were all very hard - however the pillows were changed upon request. The breakfast is ok if you can manage to find any member of staff to order from as they were often impossible to find. To be fair, the lady who works there is nice and helpful but never around, whilst the guy is lazy and unhelpful. We are budget travellers but this was far worse than any hostel we have stayed it. If you can afford anything else in Cameron Highlands then please do not stay here

Okay place at average place

Don't get a room on the top floor at the end of the hot water line...
Didn't have hot water the first night. They fixed it and we got hot water for a couple of minutes. In the rest of Malaysia that'd be fine, but the water is cold in the highlands...
The next morning there wasn't any hot water because other people were showering and we apparently had a room at the end of the line, so there wan't any water left for us.
There is no top sheet on the bed, only the blanket, and I doubt they wash that between every guest.
We moved to a different hotel that included tea/coffee for a lower price.
If you are traveling during off-season, there will be plenty of places to walk up to at the last minute.

Nice place for budget hotel

Nice place for travellers who wants to look for cheap budget hotel. i stay in twin room, quite compact but still ok.It is equipped with hot shower. The surrounding of the hotel is just nice, but a bit small with limited parking. there is not much special or anything that we can see around the place. there is 1 stone table in the small beautiful garden. there is also a cafe (but i didnt got time to eat there). The floor in the room is freezing cold, i have to put on a pair of stocking because there is no carpet in the room. for muslim traveller, there is no qibla showed ( i use my own compass). The receptionists are friendly and easy to communicate with when i ask for informations. The location of the hotel is easy, there is a clear signboard at the junction and is also near to travel agent company where i can just walk from there to rent motorcycle (the receptionist suggest me where to find it). I hope my comments will be usefull for others.

Worst room facilities we've experienced in asia?

We suspected that we were shortchanged by the female manager / boss. We were sold a half-day nature tour package that didn't seem to meet the agreed packaged details promised at the outset. The guide couldn't concur to what the hotel promised

We were given a poorer transport package by booking via this hotel, where we could be given a better bus via booking online. I guess our trust has been misplaced.

The room is in pretty bad shape. The pillows were stained in patches; the hot shower is so difficult, if not impossible, to maintain a comfortable warm temperature. The room sound-proofing was so thin, we could hear from level 3, talkings in level 1! There's not even a fan in the room. This is by far, probably the worst room facilities we've experienced in asia considering its cost.

The other hired staff seem much more reasonable though. Location of the place is still convenient. However, its unlikely you'll find us staying there again

Average at best, okay for the price

Location was very close to the main area in Tanah Rata so close to grab some food or onto one of the many bus trips going to tea plantations as well as the main bus station to Kuala Lumpur. The hotel was pretty basic. Rooms had walls that open up like in a conference room meaning that there was no soundproofing or privacy. Had to leave the window open into the hallway to get any airflow into the stuffy room. Had very stained sheets (makeup?) which were thankfully changed on the second day. Shared bathrooms were clean enough and overall the stay was fine for a quick stay and the cheap price. The garden was lovely and the hotel was set back from the road so the only foot traffic was from hotel guests

Just what's needed.

A little guest house not far from the main road. The room is basic, very basic. A bed, cupboard, table and shower.
No ac ( not really needed) or TV (but it's the Cameron Highlands, if you are in your hotel room watching TV you are doing it wrong). Each floor does have a communal area for TV/reading/sitting.
Nice garden area and a good little restaurant to get a cheap quick breakfast before you start you day.
Hot water is an issue, and WiFi pretty weak.

Dissapointed with the room.

We stayed 2 nights at KRS Pine. I wished i only booked for a night so i had the option of changing accomodations. We booked a triple bed room. All of us were bitten by bedbugs. My 9 yr old son woke up at midnight and forced himself to take a cold shower just to sooth the itchiness. The mattresses were thin and not comfortable for sleeping.
There's no hotwater in the shower. No matter what time you took a shower, it was always very cold shower. KRS Pine does have a lovely garden though.
