The room is small, the service is mediocre, the bathroom is awefully miniscule. But it's cheap though ... You can get 3 nights for just RM76! Value for money for all budget backpackers. more

...not in the case of First World Hotel. With a staggering 6,118 rooms, this hotel claims to be one of the largest in the world. Unfortunately for guests, this is not a good thing. For one, it took us about 1½ hours to check in. We were kept in an overcrowded waiting room to wait for our number to be... more

To start, I had very low expectation of the hotel intially as i have read many hotel review by many saying that the hotel was " not up to standard". I reached Genting at about 2.30pm. The first thing I did was to rush to the tour counter to get a number to check in. This is a "must do"... more

First World might boast of being the largest Hotel in the World having secured a place with 6000+ rooms but the rooms and the service leave a bad impression. The external ambiance is very welcoming but once you enter the room - its a very basic room - Bathrooms do not have locks. Water is not given. They have Water... more

Introduction It was late in the planning process that we decided to visit Genting. The only overriding purpose being that our daughter could enjoy the rides and games. To our surprise, most of the hotels were sold out for Christmas. And it was First World Hotel only that was available. Location Situated in the hills adjacent to Kuala Lumpur, it... more

A 1000 room hotel it provides very poor service. If you check-in at 4.30pm, you will be told that you would get towels only at 6pm and after. They hate to oblige you before as it is a large place and service staff is very less. The check-in facility is like a railway platform and you also have to wait... more

The location of the hotel is very close to the bus interchange , indoor and outdoor activities. Well the room is of medium size, neat , but the view from my room was facing another room! could see only another window nearby.. so good to spend only night time for sleeping and freshening up.. Closeness to food court , and... more
