    “Great hotel”

    Great hotel at reasonable price. Stayed here for 4 days and it was very pleasant stay. Location-wise is very strategic, Cat Statue is just in front of the hotel, there’s also a jetty near to the hotel that takes you to Kampung Boyan or even boat ride along the river. The room is clean, spacious and well maintained. The breakfast buffet was so good, delicious and many choices from nasi lemak to mee kolok . Parking is free, which is great, but the process was a bit inconvenient. Guests are required to notify the receptionist to verify their license plate every time they leave the hotel. It would be much better if they simply registered the car plate upon check-in so guests could come and go freely without having to stop at the front desk

    “Everything was good.”

    The location is good. There are restaurants open early in the morning and until late at night, the Sarawak River behind is beautifully lit up, and there’s a coin laundry nearby; it has everything. The room is clean, and having a bathtub and hot water is a nice touch. However, the air conditioning is a bit too strong, and I found it just right to turn it off. The pool is open until 7 PM, which is a bit disappointing as it would be nice to enjoy it longer with the night view. There is a gate at the parking lot. You can enter directly, but when you exit the next day, you need to tell the front desk your number, and the gate will open. The front desk staff is friendly, and their smiles are nice. My English isn’t great, but they understood what I wanted to say and helped me with various things. I would like to stay here again next time.

    “Great location, excellent guest service ”

    I'm currently staying here for 4 nights in a Riverview King Deluxe (still here on day two), and I wanted to share an honest review after a really positive customer service experience. First, the good and there's plenty to appreciate. The lobby is lovely, and the front desk and reception staff have been friendly, polite, and responsive whenever I've reached out. Breakfast on day one was enjoyable, and the restaurant staff were equally pleasant. The room size is generous, and it's a true king bed, which I love as a digital nomad who spends a fair amount of time working from the room. That said, the room itself feels a bit... bare. There's no couch, armchair, or even a standing lamp, despite what the photos suggest. A couple of minor maintenance issues stood out. I also had to follow up twice on a cleaning issue, which was a little frustrating at first. But here's where the story takes a nice turn. The customer experience team saw my feedback and reached out quickly, before things escalated or I even checked out. They didn't just apologize. They listened, explained the situation, and offered to change my room. That kind of proactive, responsive service is exactly what you hope to see from a hotel that cares. Kudos to the team for being on top of guest feedback and for acting fast rather than waiting until after the fact to say sorry. So yes, the room had some disappointing moments. But the way the hotel handled it? That was genuinely commendable and professional. For any hotel aiming for four stars, being this sensitive and responsive to guest feedback is just as important as the furniture in the room. And on that front, Grand Margherita Hotel delivered.
