First World Hotel @ Genting Highlands

There are 5 hotels in Genting Highlands namely Awana Genting (4 Star), First World (3 star), Theme Park (3 star), Resort (4 star), Maxim and Genting Grand (5 star).  However as the outdoor theme park is closed for massive renovation, Theme Park Hotel is also closed.

I have stayed in all except Theme Park and Genting Grand. My son popped us a question why we never book Genting Grand? Must be the most expensive hotel here.

First World Hotel used to have 2 towers, additional tower 3 just launched this year.  And they are targeting to build by 2018 another 2 towers which going to be 5 star.

We have experienced staying at Tower 3 which they have two types of room i.e. XYZ Deluxe and XYZ Triple.  Still a small room similar to Deluxe, just that everything is new here.

I have tried their Standard, Deluxe and Superior Deluxe Room, if those with view are still alright but if you got a room with Courtyard, meaning your window is facing another room is definitely not comfy. Standard room is real small with not much space to walk around,  

XYZ Triple Room 

Better TV screen compared to Tower 1 & 2 Deluxe Room

Separate toilet and shower

First World Hotel is suitable if you have children with you as Cineplex, Bowling Arcade, Indoor Theme Park are all here. 

Checking in and checking out is a breeze as it takes you less than 5 minutes through kiosk and the latter a few seconds.
