Holiday Inn Kuching is very conveniently located: just a few minutes walk from the Waterfront, with all kinds of shops and eateries nearby and many sights accessible on foot. Our rooms were spacious and clean, with two comfortable double beds, tea and coffee making facilities, an ironing board, a safety deposit box. Free bottled water is delivered every day. Bathrooms were nothing special but not terrible either and did not spoil our overall impression of the hotel. The staff is quite helpful. There is a nice little coffee shop in the lobby serving tasty cakes, and a travel agency that can arrange any kind of travel in Borneo (but bargain hard, we for instance managed to get a discount of about 1/3).

Great location, clean and spacious rooms.

Bathrooms need renovation.

  • Travel tip : Drinks are expensive at the hotel bar, so you'd better stock up at the Crowne Plaza across the road, there's a supermarket in the basement (and shopping is not bad at Parkson department store). Lots of cafes around the hotel serve good breakfast and it's really cheap. Try laksa (a decent laksa stall is to the left across the street).

Staffs in-charge of reception and baggage are friendly and helpful. Nice location as river viewing, shopping malls and shops are surrounding the hotels; very convenient. House keeping staff attitude is rude and slow action. She brings me shower kit 30 minutes after I requested and asked many questions before handing it to me. Besides, my check out time is at 2pm, but at 1.40pm, the house keeping lady (same person) knocking my door with her unhappy face. From my point of view was, if the management is not agreeing to let me extend my check out time to 2pm, they can say “Sorry, we’re unable to do so…..” during my requisition. Once committed, they should not do so unless reach 2pm I’m still hanging there, not checking out. (Reception did call me at 1.30pm to reconfirm the check out.) I’ve stayed many hotels, and requested so when needed. So far, all are satisfied except this. I’m very disappointed on the service provided by the housekeeping department.

Nice location - river view & shopping malls, shops are surrounding.

Bad attitude on housekeeping staff.

  • Hotel Feature Tip : Dinning - Curry chicken rice is nice.

Perfect location next to waterfront area, great breakfast, relatively good value for money.

Hotel interior seems "old" and "dated" - could do with an "upgrade."

Just the name "Holiday Inn" is a little faceless, but it does denote a certain comfort. People having spent a couple of nights in Bako would enjoy the showers and large rooms, everyone would love the riverside location. This is a fairly well-run, well-located hotel. What it lacks in charm it can make up in good value deals and a comfortable stay. The Szechuan restaurant is worth trying out and breakfast offers a suitably broad range of foods.

Riverside location, comfortable rooms, decent Szechuan restaurant

Variable service, a little faceless

  • Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If you are in Kuching, do not miss Bako, which is best seen by staying at least one night in the park. Bookings should be made beforehand, though, as it gets popular.

Good restaurants nearby, close proximity to large selection of shopping, courteous staff, great view over the river, access to day tours although there was some discrepancies about what was written on the brochuresand what actually happened ie times of the tour and it was not clear whether or not there was a meal included.

Comfortable room, good river views, 5 hour happy hour, staff helpful, good central location

No balcony.

The hotel is good value for money. Very well situated, spacious and reasonably clean room, near the river promenade and Chinatown. One does not need to spend more to stay a couple of days in Kuching. Do not forget to visit the Malay Cultural Village. The bus can be booked at the hotel. And departs from the same place.

Good vue from the room

A bit worn out

  • Restaurant Tip : Near restaurant "James Brook"

The hotel is located in the heart of the city so it makes travelling to anywhere an ease. The swimming pool is also quite clean & beautiful. The rooms are cozy. The food is not bad. The staff are helpful. The night view is a sight. Will stay again next time.

Reasonably priced & strategically located

Parking leaves much to be desired
