Hotel Rainbow, Cameron Highlands Malaysia

On our last budget trip to Cameron Highlands, we were driving around looking for a hotel to stay at Cameron Highlands.
There are many choices of hotels cameron highlands. Basically we checked out a few hotels such as Tudor Home Inn, Bala Cameron Highlands Cottages and lots more hotel cameron highlands.
In the end, my partner preferred Hotel Rainbow due to its reasonable price, convenient location and ease of access and parking.
Hotel Rainbow is located at center of Brinchang Town. The Cameron Highlands Night Market which is held every saturday is just behind 100m away from the hotel. There are many shops and budget hotels in the area too.

The Rainbow Hotel is a 5 storey building with lifts. It has various sizes of rooms, i.e. superior, deluxe. We got a room which can fit 3 person for only RM170 per night (walk-in rate on Saturday). If we had pre-booked it, we could have gotten it at only RM140 per night.

The room had 1 queen bed & 1 single bed. good value if you travelling in 3 person group.


The room came with TV, dressing table, fridge, kettle and huge cupboard.


The bathroom has a shower and bath tub, along with toilet and marble top vanity / sink area.

The staff were friendly, though a bit sly at the time we checked in. Coz when we first visited the hotel, we were told the room is RM160. Then when we came back, we were told the price is RM170 by a senior staff. It was rather dissapointing to be told wrong info, or maybe they were just trying to earn side income.

Anyway..its still quite good value considering its convenient location in Cameron Highlands.

Cheap food at KLCC

If you happen to be visiting KLCC, to have a look at the Petronas Twin Towers...do take the time to try out the various food outlets in the shopping mall Suria KLCC .

The prices can be rather expensive though, but it just depends on your budget..


If you are on really tight budget, one of the cheapest places to eat is at the Cold Storage takeway food area.

You can get a pack of fried rice or fried noodles for only RM 2.20 (USD0.60) . The fried rice is slightly spicy, but rather tasty actually even for a quick lunch if you happen to be on job assignments in KLCC.
