Golden Night Hotel

Overview

Golden Night Hotel is a straightforward budget hotel at Lot 2, Jalan Angsana, about 300 metres from the centre of Brinchang. It offers king, double and family rooms, some with views over the town, and each has a private bathroom and a kettle for a hot drink on a cool highland evening.

The front desk is open around the clock, Wi-Fi is free, and there's room service and parking, which makes it an easy choice for families driving up from the lowlands.

Location

Brinchang is the highlands' second town and the busier of the two, with Chinese restaurants, steamboat houses and a weekend night market that fills the main square with stalls selling corn, strawberries and grilled snacks.

The Time Tunnel, a quirky museum of old Malaysian everyday life, is about a kilometre away, and the Big Red strawberry farm is close by. Drive up the road past the BOH Sungei Palas tea estate and you reach the Mossy Forest, a boardwalk through misty, moss-draped cloud forest near the summit of Gunung Brinchang.

Tanah Rata, with its bus station and jungle trails, is around 10 minutes south by car.

Good to know

• Ipoh's airport is about 83 km away by road.
• Weekend traffic in Brinchang can be heavy; plan sightseeing early in the day.
• Ask for a room with a town view if that matters to you, as only some have one.
