Hi... Am planning to go GH in 2 weeks time. First World are fully booked. Prefer a room below rm250 per night. Any other accommodation that are around that budget and not too far from First World? Is Grab easily available in GH? Thanks.

Just went up last saturday, initially booked first world hotel standard room (Free Room), upon arrival walaoeh room number 14747 and its corner room, doesnt feel good about that then decided to stay at highland hotel (Still free but kena reedeem with genting point).

For your problem, usually you walk pass by lobby got people will offer to sell room to you, but i never bought those thou.

Book airbnb u can get whole condo.
Got food shops nearby too cheaper than eating at the top.

Only thing is u need to take grab up/down to the top, or grab to/from cable car at PMO.

Grab is easily available? I'm guessing it won't be that expensive? Maybe rm10 or so to First World?

If I recall, the street light is not frequent. The beginning and the end, there are street lights. In the middle of the path, I think there is no street lights. Quite dark, just drive safely should be fine.

Just 10 mins drive.

May I know if it is easy to book a Grab at First World Hotel or Ion Delemen?

Tomorrow, the Ion Delemen hotel shuttle bus is fully booked...
