This is an amazing hotel. Every floor has a shared space with a table and chairs or a balcony with sofa's. It was a little rainy during our stay and it was amazing to lay on the sofa's in the balcony and watch the rain fall and hear the birds sing. Amzing stay. Very frienly staff, we extended with 2 nights! They offer a nice tour that we took aswell (take the day tour, really reconment!) There was a very cute kitty name Mini, I hope if you visit you can meet her.

The place is very well located in the heart of Tanah Rata, right next to the market and many restaurants.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Just 3 units adjacent to the Hillview Inn. It's the same management so checkin process is being done there. ROom is spacious with good internet. Bathroom is super clean and spacious as well and I love the tiles used there. The area is super safe I hardly lock my room when i'm inside. On the quieter side of the area even though the mall is right next door. Lots of options for eat within 2-10 min walk (hawker center, coffee place, jap-korean resto, steamboat etc) Beautiful garden view in front. Check in and out was a cinch.

    Lovely private rooms but option to be sociable in a nicer environment than a hostel and we met some really lovely people. Good facilities, tea, coffee sugar etc. able to have own breakfasts using fridge and utensils which was nice before hikes. Walkable distance from shops and restaurants. Very clean, cleaned daily. Folder on the kitchen table, detailing walks, good places to eat etc.

    the location was great, close to bus station and right next to lots of food options. it was mostly clean, the bed was comfortable. the kitchen and lounge area were good with lots of kitchen things provided. they give free local tea and the tap provides drinking water. a relatively quiet and safe area. common areas were cleaned everyday. wifi was very good. when contacted the host was quick, helpful and friendly. it’s a very basic stay but good if on budget.

    Tanah Rata, and while the friendly host and convenient location were highlights. The host at the hostel was welcoming and helpful, providing useful information about the local area. The convenient location made it easy to access attractions, restaurants, and transportation option. While the hostel may suit budget travelers, those seeking a pleasant and cozy accommodation experience should explore other options in the area.
