Bird's Nest Hotel — Hotel in Pahang

We stayed in the Bird's Nest Hotel for two nights as part of an organised tour. Although the lobby is quite nice and wifi is free, the hotel is pretty basic. I would give it two and a half stars rather than two if I could.||||The rooms are a decent size, though come with two single beds even if you are a couple. The bathrooms are tiny and wetroom style, which means that the entire room, including the toilet and toilet paper, get soaked when you have a shower.||||We personally had no problem with the cleanliness of our room, but other people in our tour group complained that their sheets were slightly dirty and because all of the rooms had their windows opened when we arrived, some people ended up getting bitten by mosquitos overnight because of this. ||||There was no lift in this hotel, and our room was on the fourth floor, which meant we had to drag our very heavy bags up and down the flights of stairs. Breakfast was also not available, but there is a Chinese restaurant nearby as well as a Starbucks where you can go to pay for this. ||||There is not all that much to do around the hotel, but we visited because we were going trekking in the Highlands which took around an hour to get to in a jeep (fun but take some tablets if you get bad motion sickness!). I imagine that this is why most travellers visit the Bird's Nest hotel, so I was surprised when we arrived back after a long day of trekking to be told by the hotel staff to take our shoes off before entering the lobby. ||||Overall, this is not at all a luxury hotel and we wouldn't particularly recommend. We found it ok because we were out all day and only used it to wash and sleep. Could do with...

Stayed here as part of a G Adventures tour, will be telling them that they should remove this hotel from the tour. Hotel is very basic which is of course expected for the price, however, no breakfast even offered and the following experiences have lead to the rating I have given:||- Rooms are dirty including linen and the room in general.|- Windows wouldn't close as they were broken which is not good when there are mosquitos in the area. When we confronted the staff about this, they were very rude and not helpful at all. At first they gave us a can of antiseptic and told us we would be 'fine'. When we said this was unacceptable we were given another can of spray (not designed for mosquitos but for cockroaches) told to spray the room but to leave the room for 10 minutes as the fumes were toxic (!).|- Wifi is offered and free but is very poor, to the point where you cant load the internet. So may as well not be offered!|- We went out for the whole day on a trek, the room was not cleaned at all while we were gone, no clean towels, fresh sheets etc. This was the same for the rooms that the rest of the group stayed in. ||I am sure there are plenty of other cheap places to stay in the Cameron Highlands (and have found some just looking on this site). Don't come to stay at this hotel and let it ruin your time in this...

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a G Adventures tour and I can honestly say I don't know how this place is still open. Firstly the positives the light switch worked and you could get a hair dryer on request from reception. Now the negatives the room was disgusting, the beds in the room smelt like wet dog, the pillows smelt of sick, the walls were filthy (a mix of dust and dirty marks) there were exposed cables on the ceiling, the shower was freezing cold even though it was turned up as high as it would go, the shower was filthy and the windows didn't close. |If you still decide to stay here best of luck but I wouldn't even let my dog sleep...
