"It was my first time in Cameron Highlands and this hotel was a good choice. The executive room was perfect. Breakfast was great. I saved a ton of money on travel by being patient and waiting for the local bus (Regal Bus Company - an orange coloured bus). One tip I got from the driver was that the bus company doesn't work on weekends due to the intense traffic caused by local tourists and their private vehicles. So , if you want to go to Cameron Highland then please plan your visit on weekdays only. I did use a taxi a couple of times and even the taxi drivers recommended not to bother visiting Cameron Highlands on the weekends. If you are patient you can catch the local bus every hour. The Bee farm, Rose garden and strawberry picking farms are walking distance the hotel. i took the local bus to the Lavendar farm. I had to use a pricey taxi to visit the Boh tea center / estate. I did see some foreign tourists trekking to the tea estate which would be fun if you are fit and have time."

"2 nights stay at Heritage hotel was awesome. most of the hotels in Cameron Highlands (CH) are not having sufficient parking lot. So you not to worry in this hotel as it has lots of parking lot. Located at a higher place, the surrounding is nice and cozy. We get a Superior room with breakfast included as does not want to trouble to look for breakfast early in the morning. The buffet style breakfast is not bad, mum enjoy the porridge a lot. Room is clean and spacious with balcony. This room is attached with a fan, so if you need to control the fan speed, remember to check in the wardrobe as it is hidden in the wardrobe. Do not forget to pay a visit of the garden in this hotel, pretty fresh and greeny view. If you feel like reading, you may proceed to the Library at the Ground Floor (next to the laundry). You can find English and limited Chinese books and many Japanese books. Staffs at Reception are friendly when asking for the direction to go down to the Garden. It is a nice hotel and value for money. As I do not need wifi much, I need not go to Lobby to use the limited coverage Wifi in lobby."

"Excellent experience! The most standout part of this hostel for me was the staff. I mentioned prior that I'm very sensitive to stuffy rooms and if possible, to please give me a well ventilated room. Upon arrival I was given an icy cold room. Amazing. In general, everyone working was so eager to help out guests in any way possible. It made the environment super fun. The location is only a 5 minute walk from the bus station. The pillows are excellent. I had no issue with the bed, despite that it received many poor reviews. Slow WiFi, but that's the norm in Cameron Highlands everywhere. An amazing value and I would return."

"The sign of the hotel is not that visible from the entrance so you need to ask around to find it but the place was good for a short 2-day stay. Bring your own towels and soap as those are not provided. Luckily the temperature in Cameron Highlands is much cooler since there is no AC. Only a tiny little fan in the corner that does not rotate. It is close to the main street for food, atm, motorbike rentals, and the bus terminal. The staff was very friendly and helpful for tips on things to do in the area."
