We have been there several time and stayed in different hotel each time. The First World hotel is the worst. Long queue to check-in. Couldn't sleep at all during the night time as there was a group of youngsters staying in the opposite rooms making lots of noise the whole night. The room was small.
Greetings, Comments.. i read all. It's sound really CONDEMN to all their service. Seriously, i had not been to Genting. I need HELPS out there. My family and I plan to visit Genting very soon but we had not make any reservation yet. One thing though, i don know which hotel to choose. Genting Hotel or Resort Hotel? I heard that Genting Hotel don provide breakfast. And is all the shopping centre very nearby? like first world plaza?

I dislike: (1) The reception in Genting Hotel is lousy and unprofessional. A "experience" check-in staff was helping us for the check-in, but as a senior staff we expect she shall react faster, but she wasn't, just work like her pace like I am the only check-in guest there, but there is long quene behind me !
Likes:- 1) Airy reception area 2) Good location 3) Clean room
Dislikes:- 1)Unbelievable throngs of people 2)Pushy gambling crowd 3)Continuous rain means that you cannot use your day theme park ticket for the whole day 4)Do not expect service at 3 star hotels 5)Genting food/merchandise prices are generally higher than KL 6) Killer taxi ...
This hotel looks very nice and was marketed nicely online as 5 stars hotel. Do not believe what you read as you will be very disappointed. Rooms are bad, expect no service and breakfast is bad. Basically this hotel business model is simple..take in as many people as possible and gives them 0 service. NO ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION-- standard line "we are running at full capacity". Oh yeah you get roaches under the bed.
