The Grand Kampar Hotel

The Grand Kampar Hotel is a new hotel built in the new area of Kampar Town. Kampar itself turns out to be a nice little and very local town on the edge of the Cameron Highlands jungles in the Kinta Valley.  More about Kampar town you can read here (and trust me, it worth to read and then visit!!)

Even though I have been to the Gua Tempurung caves, I have not visited Kampar. This is because, I was with a teambuilding course with a group of 10 people and on another occasion with a Chinese International School students. With both groups, we stayed at either Pangkor or Taiping.

My friend Miss Rosmah was surprised "Kampar is really nice, and it's a shame you haven't been here", she told me. Why don't you come over and see for yourself?".  So I had a good "excuse" to go.  Visit a friend and at the same time check the hotel where Miss Rosmah works.  As if I needed an excuse!

The Grand Kampar Hotel is not "just another" hotel.  The hotel is a stylish building you can see from afar from both north and south side.  It's built in the new part of Kampar.  Especially at night it has a cozy atmosphere with small restaurants offering different food, from Thai (recommended here) to Chinese and Malay.  You can chill out in the cool evening breeze watching your favorite football game or simply relax and look back on your day spent in Kampar.

• Executive Suite

My standard room in the Grand Kampar Hotel

All rooms, yes, I have seen them all, are great. I stayed in the Standard Room.  It was very spacious, with very comfortable bed, power hot/cold shower, fridge, coffee and tea making facilities. Of course, like all the other good hotels that I had stayed before, the room had the air-conditioning, cable TV with in-house movies, IDD telephone, hair dryer (though I don't even have hair!) and an electronic key for the lock.

I could have brought my laptop because there is wireless internet connection covering the whole area. A great service.

I am a curious person so I asked Miss Rosmah to show me the other types of rooms. The family suite with 1 double and 2 single beds looked very nice and comfortable:

Facilities

At the ground floor you will find the reception, the Grand Kampar Cafe, where you will have your breakfast.

Breakfast, Miss Rosmah told me was a simple fare. Well... it was a standard buffet with Malaysian and continental breakfast. Standard was rice, fried rice, fried noodles, vegetables, chicken and ... and ... too much to mention.

I have to mention the nasi lemak which has very good chicken and excellent sambal. Of course coffee, tea, and fruit juices are available too.

Fried eggs and toast were made on the spot. You can't get them fresher than that.

Actually, lunch is also served in the cafe. Rice, noodles, vegetables, chicken and noodle soup.  In short, a very good variety.  It was hard not to eat too much!

There is also a Chinese restaurant which mainly serves dinner.

At the ground floor also, you will find the safe deposit box for use for the guests.

At the Mezzanine Floor there is a business center with the Internet.  For entertainment, they have the Alluvial Music Lounge. The Palong Function room is also located here.
