Located in the heart of Fraser’s Hill, Wyndham Garden Shahzan Fraser’s Hill blends colonial charm with modern comforts and warm hospitality. The hotel offers 92 well-appointed rooms and suites, ideal for both leisure and business stays, along with facilities such as a halal-certified restaurant, fitness center, free high-speed Wi-Fi, children’s playroom, and ample parking. Guests can dine at the refreshed Puteri Teja Café, serving Malay, Western, Chinese, and vegetarian dishes, plus Steamboat and Teppanyaki. For a refined retreat, the cigar divan offers a relaxing space. The hotel also features two flexible event venues—Seri Lela Manja and Seri Lela Wangsa—perfect for meetings or celebrations, supported by professional event services.
"The hotel was previously known as Shazan Inn but has since been taken over by the Wyndham brand. The hotel and rooms have undergone refurbishment — exterior roof tiles and walls have been replaced and repainted, while the furniture and fittings are also relatively new.
One downside is the limited parking space. If you drive out, you may have to compete for a spot when you return. On the plus side, the location is excellent — just around the corner from the iconic clock tower, main eateries, and shops, all within walking distance.
Our stay included breakfast and I have nothing much to complain about. The spread was decent, with an egg station as a plus point. During the two mornings we had breakfast, different dishes were served.
The staff and housekeeping team were kind, courteous, diligent, and helpful. Whenever we requested additional items, they attended to us quickly. Good job and keep it up!
We stayed for 3 nights in the Temenggong Suite, which comes with 2 bedrooms, a living room, dining area, and kitchen. The downside is that there is only 1 bathroom. Looking back, booking connecting rooms might have been cheaper and more practical. However, the hotel is divided into two wings, and surprisingly, the wing with connecting rooms does not have air-conditioning. While Fraser’s Hill is cooler than most places, it is still not as cold as Genting Highlands or Cameron Highlands, so this was unexpected.
The suite was spacious and came with a smart TV in the living room, giving access to Netflix, YouTube, etc., which was useful to keep the kids entertained. There is also a kitchen suitable for simple cooking. However, there was no telephone in the room, meaning requests had to be made by going down to reception. Likewise, the hotel could only contact me through my mobile phone, which was not practical due to poor mobile reception inside the room.
Basic amenities were provided, but the water pressure was really low. With only one bathroom and weak water pressure, expect a longer wait if staying with family or a larger group.
Another thing to note is that our suite still used a traditional door knob instead of a smart card system, and we were only given one key. I felt slightly uncomfortable as there is always a chance of forgetting to lock the door. Housekeeping also does not have a spare key, so you either leave the door unlocked for cleaning or leave your key with housekeeping/reception. This was not explained during check-in — fortunately, the housekeeping staff informed us.
The suite does come with air-conditioning, but it appears to have been modified so the remote control cannot fully operate it. Even when switched off using the remote, the AC continues running with only the vent closed. The only way to turn it off completely is via the wall switch, and adjusting the fan speed or temperature was not possible.
Despite the points mentioned above, this hotel does not deserve a poor rating. My family and I genuinely enjoyed our stay. The only things that disappointed me were 1.) the air-conditioning filter, which looked like it had not been cleaned for some time, and 2.) some towels that were old with yellow stains. The suite also felt like it could have been better maintained, as there was noticeable dust and dirt in certain corners. However, these issues were not severe enough to ruin the overall experience.
At the end of the day, Wyndham is currently the only international hotel brand in Fraser’s Hill. Most other options are either decades-old apartments, Airbnb units, inns, or motels. I genuinely hope Wyndham continues to maintain and improve its rooms and services despite having very little competition in the area.
Overall, it was still a pleasant family stay with a great location, friendly staff, and good potential. With better upkeep and attention to small details, this hotel can easily become the clear standout choice in Fraser’s Hill."
