Guest Ratings & Reviews

Katie

7.6/10

The hotel is situated opposite the main road, offering comfortable rooms with a spacious bathroom, though cleanliness could be improved. The service is fantastic, with helpful staff always ready to assist, even with minor equipment issues like water heaters and mirrors. The location is central and convenient, surrounded by shopping malls and eateries, although closing at midnight may limit late-night activities. The dining experience varies, from a disappointing breakfast refill incident to exceptional buffet dinners at Carvery Restaurant. Overall, a value-for-money option with mixed dining experiences.

The hotel is right in the heart of Kuching, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms are small but cozy, yet they could feel a bit claustrophobic due to the limited ventilation options. The service is top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff. The location is fantastic, surrounded by plenty of food options and near key attractions like the cat statue and waterfront. However, the dining experience may not be worth the price paid.
