Genting Highlands' BEST Kept Secret: SkyComfyColdInn2R2B Review!
Genting Highlands' BEST Kept Secret: SkyComfyColdInn2R2B Review! (Brace Yourself, It's a Rollercoaster!)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I'm about to spill the beans on the Genting Highlands hotel that’s allegedly a "best kept secret": SkyComfyColdInn2R2B. And lemme tell ya, it's been an experience. This isn’t your polished, PR-approved review; this is the raw, unfiltered truth, complete with my own internal monologue (which, let's be honest, is more entertaining than most travel blogs).

First Impressions (and My Own Impatience):
Finding this place was… well, an adventure. Let's just say my GPS and I had a heated debate. The "accessibility" aspect was definitely a work in progress. While there's an elevator (thank the heavens!), navigating the initial approach was a bit of a trek. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I can see how it might be a challenge. (Accessibility: A solid B- for effort, needs improvement for true accessibility.)
The Room: Cold Comfort or Cozy Hideaway?
The "ColdInn" part of the name is accurate. Seriously, pack a sweater. The air conditioning is like a polar vortex. But! The rooms themselves are actually pretty decent. (Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.) My room? Spacious. Clean. And the bed? Ooh, that bed was a cloud. Seriously, I could have stayed in that bed all day. The blackout curtains were a godsend, especially after a night of… well, let's just say Genting's nightlife. I was so excited about the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – wireless that I immediately tested it, and it worked like a charm. My only complaint? The Wi-Fi name was something like "SkyComfyColdInn-Guest," which didn’t exactly scream "luxury." But hey, it worked!
(Quirky Observation: The room’s "safe" was a little box. I'm pretty sure a determined toddler could have cracked it.)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Good!)
Alright, food. This is where things get interesting. There are a few restaurants on-site, and I tried a couple. (Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant.) The Asian cuisine in restaurant was actually surprisingly good. I had a delicious bowl of noodles. (Anecdote: I may or may not have ordered room service at 3 am. The noodles were still amazing. 24-hour Room service, you are a lifesaver!) The breakfast buffet was… well, it was a buffet. Standard fare, but there was enough variety to keep me happy. The Coffee shop was a godsend in the morning. (Happy Hour!) The Poolside bar was a great place to chill out. The Snack bar was a lifesaver between meals.
(Emotional Reaction: That noodle soup at 3 am? Pure bliss. Seriously, I’d go back for that alone.)
Spa, Relaxation, and Fitness: So Much Potential!
Okay, this is where SkyComfyColdInn really shines. (Things to do, ways to relax: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]) They have a spa! A real spa! I indulged in a massage, and it was heavenly. My knots melted away. They have a Gym/fitness center, but I didn’t actually use it (shame on me!). The Pool with view was stunning. It’s the kind of pool that makes you want to Instagram your life. (Double Down: The sauna was a glorious escape from the cold. Perfect for warming up and sweating out all the stress.)
(Imperfection: The spa booking system was a bit clunky. I had to call a few times to get my appointment confirmed.)
Cleanliness and Safety: Did I Survive?
In this post-pandemic world, cleanliness is paramount. (Cleanliness and safety: Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment.) SkyComfyColdInn takes it seriously. I saw staff constantly disinfecting common areas. They had hand sanitizer everywhere. The room felt spotless. I felt safe. (Emotional Reaction: I actually felt MORE comfortable here than in some other hotels I've stayed in recently.)
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They’ve got the basics covered. (Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.) The Concierge was helpful, the Daily housekeeping was efficient, and the elevator was a lifesaver. I also appreciated the Cash withdrawal option and the Convenience store for late-night snacks. (Quirky Observation: They have a "shrine" on the property. It was… unexpected. But hey, Genting!)
For the Kids: Family Fun?
While I didn't have kids with me, I did see some families. (For the kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal) There were definitely Kids facilities, and the hotel seemed pretty Family/child friendly.
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location!
Genting Highlands is all about the views! (Getting around: Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking) SkyComfyColdInn is located near the action, but it's a bit of a walk (or a taxi ride) to some of the main attractions. The Car park [free of charge] was a plus.
(Rambling Thought: I wonder if they offer a "Genting Highlands Survival Kit" with a map, warm clothes, and a caffeine IV drip?)
The Verdict: Is SkyComfyColdInn2R2B Really a "Secret"?
Look, SkyComfyColdInn2R2B isn't perfect. It has its quirks. It could use a little polish. But honestly? I liked it. It's comfortable, clean, and the spa is amazing. And the price? It's much more affordable than some of the mega-resorts in the area.
My Final Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars. (Minus one star for the slightly confusing entrance and the lack of a complimentary hot chocolate fountain in the lobby.)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a Genting Highlands adventure that's less "polished travel brochure" and more "slightly deranged travelogue written by someone who really needed a vacation." This is the Genting SkyComfyColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen experience, unfiltered. Prepare yourselves…
Genting Highlands: Operation "Escape the Humidity, Embrace the Mild Hypothermia"
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude Sickness, and the Great Towel Conundrum
10:00 AM - The Great KL Exodus: Leaving Kuala Lumpur. Traffic was, as always, a soul-crushing beast. My travel buddy, bless her heart, thought it would be a "fun bonding experience" to sing along to cheesy 80s pop on the way. By the time we hit the highway, I was already questioning my life choices. (Note to self: Invest in noise-canceling headphones. Immediately.)
12:30 PM - Arrival at Ion Delemen. The Cold Hits. Oh. My. God. The air. It's like stepping into a walk-in freezer operated by a sadist. We stumble out of the car, shivering in our summer clothes. "Cozy" my foot! This is "Arctic Blast Adjacent." The lobby is… well, it's vaguely impressive with its high ceilings and supposed "luxury," but the echoing emptiness just amplifies the feeling of being lost in a gigantic, icy void.
1:00 PM - Check-in Chaos. The check-in process is… slow. And confusing. There's a language barrier, a slight air of general incompetence, and an overwhelming urge to just curl up in a fetal position and weep. Finally, we get our keycards. Success!
1:30 PM - The Room: Promises and the Great Towel Shortage. The room itself is… decent. Spacious, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, just as the listing promised. Except… the towels. Where are the towels?! I swear, I could've sworn I saw a tiny, almost imperceptible little towel, but I think it was just a hallucination brought on by the altitude and the sheer shock of the cold. We call housekeeping. They promise towels. We wait. We shiver. We contemplate using our clothes to dry ourselves.
2:30 PM - Altitude Sickness Strikes. My head is pounding. My stomach is doing somersaults. I feel like I've been run over by a small, yet determined, car. Altitude sickness is real, folks. Apparently, "acclimatize" is a real word, and I clearly didn't. We spend the next hour sprawled on the beds, trying to breathe and cursing the lack of towels.
3:30 PM - Towels! (Finally!) and the Search for Warmth. The towels arrive! Hallelujah! They're thin, but they're towels. We promptly wrap ourselves in them and start desperately searching for the room's thermostat. It's hidden, of course. We eventually find it and crank it up to a scorching 30 degrees Celsius. It barely makes a difference.
4:00 PM - The Genting Highlands Mall: A Brief, Overwhelming Experience. We venture out, hoping to find some food and maybe… warmth. The mall is a labyrinth of shops, flashing lights, and the general feeling of being utterly lost. We grab some lukewarm noodles and a suspiciously sweet iced tea. I nearly faint from the sugar rush. We retreat back to the icy embrace of our room.
6:00 PM - Dinner and the Great Netflix Binge. We order room service. It's… edible. We huddle under the covers, finally managing to raise the room temperature to a balmy 20 degrees. Netflix becomes our best friend. We watch three episodes of something completely forgettable. Pure, blissful, brain-dead relaxation.
9:00 PM - Bedtime and the Unresolved Towel Issue. We go to bed, still slightly chilled. We each have one towel. We wrap them around us like precious, life-saving blankets. Sleep comes eventually, punctuated by the occasional shiver.
Day 2: The Casino, the Cable Car, and the Existential Dread of the SkyAvenue.
9:00 AM - Breakfast… or, the Quest for Caffeine. The hotel breakfast is… well, it exists. We find some lukewarm coffee and a few questionable pastries. The caffeine helps. A little. We need more.
10:00 AM - The Casino: Where Dreams Go to Die (Slowly). We decide to embrace the cliché. We hit the casino. I lose five ringgit. My friend… well, let's just say she's more of a "high roller" than I am. We watch her lose a significant amount of money. We leave, feeling slightly poorer and a lot more cynical. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and the faint scent of desperation.
11:00 AM - The Cable Car: Pretty Views, Mild Panic. The cable car is genuinely impressive. The views are spectacular. But… heights. I have a slight fear of heights. I spend the entire ride clutching the handrail, muttering prayers, and trying not to hyperventilate. My travel buddy, meanwhile, is taking selfies and generally enjoying the view. I hate her, but I also love her. It's complicated.
12:00 PM - SkyAvenue: A Sensory Overload. We arrive at SkyAvenue. It's a massive, multi-level shopping mall/entertainment complex. It's… overwhelming. There are shops, restaurants, rides, and a general feeling of "where do I even begin?" I wander aimlessly, feeling a sense of profound existential dread. I buy a ridiculously overpriced ice cream cone. It's delicious.
1:00 PM - Lunch and the Great Food Court Gamble. We find a food court. The choices are endless. We pick something at random. It's… okay. We eat in silence, contemplating the vastness of the universe and the questionable quality of mall food.
2:00 PM - The Indoor Theme Park: A Blast from the Past (and a Headache). We brave the indoor theme park. It's… dated. The rides are rickety. The music is loud. I ride a carousel. I feel like I'm five years old again. And then I get a massive headache. We leave.
4:00 PM - Back to the Room: The Sweet Embrace of Despair (and Netflix). We retreat back to our icy fortress. We collapse on the beds. Netflix. Again. This time, we watch a documentary about… something. I can't remember what. It doesn't matter. We're safe. We're warm(ish). We're entertained.
6:00 PM - Dinner: The Quest for Decent Food Continues. We go to a restaurant. The food is… better than the food court, but still not amazing. We talk about our day. We laugh. We realize we're actually having fun.
9:00 PM - Bedtime: The Final Towel Countdown. We wrap ourselves in our precious towels. We go to sleep. Tomorrow, we leave.
Day 3: Departure, Reflections, and the Lingering Cold.
9:00 AM - Breakfast, The Last Stand. We repeat the breakfast ritual. We brace ourselves for the journey back to the "real world."
10:00 AM - Check Out: Goodbye, Genting (and Goodbye, Warmth). The check-out process is… surprisingly smooth. We leave. We step back into the sunshine. We shiver one last time.
12:00 PM - The Drive Back: The Aftermath. We're on the road, back to KL. We're tired. We're slightly traumatized. But we're also… strangely happy. We survived Genting Highlands. We conquered the cold. We even had a few laughs along the way.
1:00 PM - The Verdict. Would I recommend the Genting SkyComfyColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen? Well… it depends. If you're looking for luxury, avoid. If you're looking for a cozy getaway, also avoid. But if you're looking for a slightly chaotic, slightly ridiculous, and utterly memorable experience, then maybe… just maybe… it's worth a try. Just pack extra towels.
