Second Visit to Rosa Passadena Hotel at Brinchang, Cameron Highlands - Pahang.

Monday, November 26, 2012

This was our second time stayed in the Rosa Passadena Hotel (N4.49167 E101.38799) on Cameron Highlands trip due to the friendly Manager - Mr Barathi. Thanks to him for helping us on the room booking.
The blog post of our last visit on year 2009.

We reached the hotel around 5pm on the first day, and the check in only took us 5 minutes! Impressed!

The hotel is located in the middle of the Brinchang town which is convenience for us to have some local shopping and foods around the area. Brinchang town is famous of Steamboat restaurant, and there are plenty of them for you to choose from...

The Lobby looked the same since our last visit on 2009, but the corridor and the rooms have upgraded to better and clean environment...

The room had equipped with new LCD TV, safe and a mini fridge...with a new wardrobe too. The bathroom has a mini bathtub which I felt the shape was a bit weird while showering...but the wooden support of the basin was really rundown! Do you notice it?

The new building of the school behind the hotel had completed, it wasn't here on our last visit. You can view it from my last visit here.

Anyway, we were satisfied with the hotel for our 3 days 2 nights stayed. The hotel staffs were friendly as usual...and the room rate we paid was breakfast included (which was not bad) for 2 mornings.

The hotel is provide a reasonable price with the convenience to reach the nearby shop and restaurant, and there's a private vehicles parking for those visitor who drive. It's one of the nice hotel at Brinchang town, Cameron Highlands.
