First time going Genting?
What temp are you expecting？

The historical record of the past 6mths, highest is 22C and lowest 10C, mean average 16C.

 

[ghregular]

crockfords, grand and highlands hotels have airconditioning.

 

[kevinlaikf]

Highlands Hotel's Deluxe rooms, definitely no aircon, it is only available in the premium rooms (> 300MYR/night) and above. Crockfords and Grand required deep pockets.

Not true - G.Grand, Crockfords, Highland Hotels all have aircons. More budget type - FWH, Resorts & Skyworld Hotels all have no aircons.

Correct - but initially u claimed "All hotels in Genting Highlands no aircons" - that's misleading leh...that's just a sweeping statement.

indeed we are like beggars sometimes, and we wonder why after donating huge sums in the casino, still must q for makan for example! n past midnight u got nothing to eat! u r left to yourself to goto b5 for poor mans food.

unless u r platinum of course.

Even platinum has no food inside already. Used to have before covid days.

 

[bigherosg]

Now is vending machine selling bottled water n convenient food

just follow what majority does not owl.

Supper option very limited, settled for instant cup noodles.
Hot boiling water taps corner are available outside most corridors near lift landing.

I brought along my own powered mug kettles as I heard horrid stories on the room kettles, in fact, most hotels around the world.

Near the pathway from FWH to Casino, opened around 11am, I bought few scallop-favoured porridges from tau-huey store ("I LOVE YOO! 老油鬼鬼", near Famous Amos and Boost juice store) and keep few in fridge for late night supper, just warm it with my own mug kettle. Few you-tiao fritters go well with the porridges. (Porridge sold out very fast)

The nasi lemak from FWH "1-meter Teh" also very affordable. Sometimes they still have them after 9pm, dessert also nice, ie, bubur pulut hitam.
Opportunist could lurk around the FWH lobby bakery for closing sales offers, all gone in few minutes.

 

[givansingapore]

bro is this advisable option?

think go counter should be faster option for maxim or grand i guess

For maxims, there are self check in kiosks opposite the counter. No deposit and no tax is collected from me for this trip. Grand is still counter check in.

 

[givansingapore]

wow lao

like that how to request prefer room

There is still a terminal beside the kiosks that the staff can help you with your room choice.

There's free vouchers for lunch and dinner at Fortune Corner (old Genting Palace location). Saw people dabao rice dumplings using the vouchers last night.
