Well this hotel should be at 3 star rating as the in room amenities does not meet 4 star. The breakfast variety and taste was below average. House keeping department response to calls for assistance was excellent. Good location. Hotel staffs are friendly.

This place was so amazing, I stayed there for five days and nights!! I had a great time with my family, I was on room 629. From Monday to Friday. On Friday, I had my birthday inside. It was the best!!! I played my Nintendo Switch with my siblings and went to the shopping mall nearby, I had an amazing view of the waterfront!! It was all clear and beautiful. I had so much fun there. I had breakfast on floor 4 every morning. I was there from 5 October until 9 October. Thank you for all the things I remembered during my stay there with my famlily. I had a very good time. ^v^

The hotel is located right in the centre of Kuching City enabling you access to numerous shops and restaurants around. Properly maintained pedestrian walkways around this area means you can even walk to the places you want to visit from the hotel. The hotel room itself is spacious, very clean and equipped with all necessary facilities. You’ll have access to major Astro Channels from the hotel rooms. If you feel lazy to go out, the hotel is linked directly to a shopping mall called Plaza Merdeka where’s there’s plenty of choices for food. The shopping mall’s food court can be accessed from level 4 of the hotel. The level 4 also has a bar if you choose to chill out after a tiring day out. Overall it’s a clean, well maintained hotel with friendly staffs.

It was amazing. They have sahoor/breakfast because its fasting month right now and the food was amazing as well. The hairdryer is the best quality. They have bath robes, hotel room service foods you can order. Every facility is complete. I just dont know how to watch the tv tho and I didnt ask because I brought my own laptop. It was a pleasant staycation for me which food is accessable in the Plaza Merdeka Mall.

Review №19

Everything was fine and dandy! Except the parking. Was staying at a double deluxe room which can fit 4 person. Last time no matter how many of you drive and park at the basement, as long as you stay there you can get complimentary parking.But with the new parking system, suddenly ONLY ONE car can get complimentary parking (Basement Parking) for ONE Room. The rest of the guest in that one room will have to pay for their own parking at a normal rate.We were not even given the fix rate of RM 4 which they usually give to those who attend any events that is being held there. We were charged RM 9 for each car. Though not a big amount to some, but the fact that we were staying there in which previously we could be entitled to get free parking, disappoints us.So, Esp for the locals who are planning for a staycation here. I suggest you go over with one car or just use Taxi/Grab.

It was 2nd time i stayed at this hotel. The location is quite nice. If you are choosing river view for your room,you can watch the fountain infront of DUN building at night. The Merdeka Plaza shopping mall only next to the hotel. You can walk there through door from lobby. The hotels staff friendly. So far, it is one of best hotel at Kuching downtown.

Stayed over with my family and its totally a good experience. The staffs are friendly (and the cat is adorable too!

This hotel’s service is at another level. We have been traveling with our 1.5yr old daughter and while in Kuching the staff helped us out so well with everything. The breakfast is great and so are the rooms. In all honesty, best hotel we stayed at in terms of service over the past two months of travel!

Review №55

My husband and I stayed at this hotel, due to the location of being so close to the Kuching Marathon start point. However, from the check in, it was obvious that the hotel was not prepared to handle such large crowds, and it took us almost an hour to get our room. The room was spacious and clean, but was upset to see a large crack in the washbasin of the toilet. The shower was powerful which was great. The towels probably need upgrading, some were frayed at the edges. The location of the hotel is very convenient, connected to the mall, easy to get food and other necessities. The pool was too small, and not really a relaxing spot. View from our room was amazing, of the river.

Nice and clean. Excellent location thats within walking distance to many attractions include an adjoining mall.The hotel lives up to the citys namesake with cats in the premises, including one whos always lying on the bell boys trolley.Only one major let down is the sluggish lifts that can nearly cope with normal passenger volume. When there are events held in the hotel, the wait can be unbearable

Review №60

Its a OK hotel, not bad but not fantastic either. Quite clean and despite its young age, it felt dated. Amenities, ambiance and service are just meh. For price paid i suppose you cant expect too much so its fine. Breakfast however, can improve much much more. Rather than trying to provide everyone with everything at sub-mediocre level, perhaps one can do with much less but yet perhaps at an unforgettable height. I would recommend skipping the hotel breakfast package and hunt for your own local delicacies instead.

Room is big and comfortable. Breakfast provided is not too shabby. Room rates are too pricey (5stars price) though as I feel it didn’t have the feel, it should be cheaper, I would rate it a 3.5 stars establishment Overall it’s a good hotel. I had a comfortable stay.

Review №75

Friendly helpful staff, located very near the waterfront and the centre of town with a mall beside it and across the street from a quiet Chinatown.The reason I gave it 3 stars is because I thought it was going to be better especially seeing as I booked it because of the great reviews.One of things I wasn’t keen on was the breakfast. It looks good from far away but the food was mediocre at best. Absolutely nothing was appetising. And in a country with an abundance of fruit and where good food is inexpensive, I was dismayed to see fruit punch being offered as a substitute for fruit juice.Then there’s the pool. It was only open until 7:00pm which was really disappointing. Also, because it has a roof and the pool is not heated, the water was cold. If you have any mobility issues be warned that you have to walk up 8-10 steps to get to the pool.Beds were comfortable even if the pillows weren’t so much. Malaysians really have to start using bleach to whiten the grout between the tiles. If I can do it weekly at home; so you can at least monthly to keep the rust and mould at bay. It’s so incredibly unsightly.

This hotel is lovely. The staffs are friendly, the room that I stayed in is clean and large. First thing I would usually do once after checking in to the room is to check the toilet. The toilet here is clean(mainly because this hotel is just recently opened), towels are neatly placed beside the sink, shower gels/body products are also nicely presented. I dont see any reason why one wont recommend this hotel.

It was rated 5 stars hotel. But when we came here, we felt like its just a 3 star hotel. The lobby is small. Room was ok & clean. But no hand & face towel. The towel provided have dirt stain. We requested new towel but receive the new one with stain too. Paid rm300 per night and felt not worth the money. Should have choose Hilton Kuching instead

Rooms are nice but noisy. Thin walls. Road can be heard. Lots of shouting kids in hallway. Hallway music plays and leaks into the room. If housekeeping is cleaning in next room, you will hear it in your room.Breakfast is adequate at best. Lack of seating. Food running out at 9am. Took a while to restock.Tables mostly dirty. Seems like they are unable to handle the crowd. About 150 at most.Breakfast experience is changing my mind about coming back here again.

Review №89

Stayed for a few nights in March 2019. Our room was on the Executive Club floor which meant that the check in and everything was handled up on that floor. Initially, the staff were slow to arrive with a luggage trolley for our baggage and I had to go and find the trolley myself. The room itself was very comfortable with great views of Kuching and the complimentary high tea every day was a welcome treat. The swimming pool was too cold, as it is constantly under shade and never gets heated by the sunlight. It was also full of screaming children and we were never given a towel card at check in so were not allowed to take out any towels! At the time of our stay the gym was under refurbishment so I cant comment on those facilities.

Chinese New Year Eve dinner was an important annual event for our family. We travelled from different continents to get to this reunion dinner.For the past 3 consecutive years, we celebrated our reunion dinner in this hotel.However this year was a big disappointment.The hall was crowded with no ventilation throughout dinner. All of us was sweating and suffocating for air.When we made it known to their staff, they cannot do anything about the high temperature.I noticed their air conditioner reflected 28 degrees on their wall panel.To make matters worst, their food was degraded. Prawns were not fresh, it was actually mushy. Their steam fish was over cooked and was served luke warm. Dishes in their menu were mainly made up of cheaper ingredients. There wasn’t even a simple dish of chicken.Overall experience : DISSATISFIED N NOT RECOMMENDED
