I stayed at century pines resort twice de. Not too bad for the price. I would not recommend their deluxe room with garden which is basically situated on the ground floor with a private garden right outside ur room bcoz the garden is actually shared by other rooms next door, meaning u can walk to the room next door thru the garden and the only thing that stopped u from entering the room is the glass sliding door. Also, the deluxe room with garden is quite small compared to the normal deluxe room without garden on upper floors.

First visit I book the deluxe room facing the Padang field i.e. the main entrance of the hotel, the view is pretty good. Just ask them to give u a deluxe room on the 4th floor (highest floor if i remember correctly) facing the padang and "away" from the main road on the right side. But worried not if they dun hav any more room far away from the main road, coz the balcony's sliding glass door gives a very good sound proofing. And the deluxe room without garden are much more spacious than those with a garden.

But if the garden is really your thing, then pls request for the garden room facing the padang field, as the other row of garden rooms are facing the back of the hill (don't mistaken it as 'hill view' lol).

Also note that there is no free wifi in the room, the only free wifi zone is near the ground floor cafe. But if your room is right above the cafe, even on top floor, as long u position urself on the balcony area, u ll still find the free wifi signal with enough strength to do some casual surfing, jus make sure u dun drop ur phones/whatever pad/lappy to the cafe's roof top. (the cafe is an extension from the main building so u can see the roof of it from ur balcony if u stay in the upper floor deluxe room facing the padang/main entrance).

The free breakfast is pretty good except for the coffee n juices that taste rather average, and go for the rendang chicken if u like chicken lol. If u want to choose a table located just right outside the cafe, do it before 10am, as the tables there are facing east and the sunlight is pretty warm after 10:30, pretty uncomfortable i must say, best timing would be 7:30-10am, u can enjoy the cold breeze n fresh air very much!

In term of security, I dun see many guards around the hotel premise. There is no guard at the carpark area at nite hours, so u might want to avoid parking at the single level basement carpark right beneath the cafe extension.

I would pick this hotel again due to the scenic environment, the feel is good, very relaxing. If u wan some pic of the hotel do let me know. smile.gif

If I will be leaving Cameron back to KL after dinner time, is it still ok to drive back down via the Tapah route or should I just take the longer route via Simpang Pulai?

@OKLY

Try to avoid Tapah route during night time because currently raining season and causing the road condition slippery with mud. It might get foggy too.

Did that at 5am morning back down which the vision is not good on last Saturday.

Need advise. Planning a trip to CH on Friday, Jul 5th. I assume traffic would be ok travelling from Simpang Pulai.

Now i need a decent hotel with walking distant to Brinchang night market. I noticed most the recommendable hotel like Parkland, Kowloon does not have a lift which is a serious problem for my aging parents.

Parking i assume is ok on a Friday.

So i need 2 rooms at the average price of RM150 each with lift and walking distant to Brinchang night market.

Ok-lah on Friday & since you're comuing from Ipoh, OK too. Hotel? I prefer those in Tanah Rata than the noisy brinchang. Tanah Rata is more relaxing. Lotsa budget hotels there too.. My recommendation - Father's guest house

Edit: The free Wifi is hopeless.
