Value for money”

We stayed on the Executive Floor and had afternoon tea (5-7pm) & breakfast at the Executive Lounge. The selection was sufficient and good quality. Sausages were yummy, not cheap hotdogs like other hotels. Eggs were perfect. Kids below 12 are not allowed in the lounge. It was a perfect place to relax and have tea after a long day of walking around Kuching. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Location is very convenient. Right on the riverside. 24 hr coin laundry is a 5 min walk away. 7/11 is right next door. Perfect. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice hotel in great location”

Big hotel on the river, doesn't look great on the outside (could use a wash & a paint job but would add to room price) but the inside is nice. Check-in was fine, friendly staff got a twin queen room (312) with a river view, very nice. The windows need cleaning but how much time do most people spend looking out the window? The room was clean & had the usual large hotel room & bathroom amenities, TV with some English channels, AC, great wifi & more. Breakfast included in room rate, great buffet of Asian & Western items plus egg station & Sarawak laksa/kolok mee station. Nice clean, large swimming pool along with loungers & towels. Overall a very nice hotel with a great location on the river, near attractions, shopping, restaurants and more, we stayed a week, would definitely stay again when in Kuching.

I can see this once was s beautiful hotel. Now just s bit ragged around the edges after Covid, I think. Pool area was refreshing and clean. My room was tired but spotless. Staff ever so helpful. Plenty of variety at breakfast. I stayed four days, and only saw other Western faces at the jazz weekend. Great food court around the corner and excellent massage spot next to the Muslim bank.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Being right in front of the river which is perfect for a walk or light jog during the weekend. There is an amazing restaurant across the river. There's a bunch of food stalls by the river too. Our room was comfortable and clean. The gym was also open for guests, they have provided book register, hand sanitizers and wet tissue to sanitize the equipment before you use them.

I had to resort to messaging them on Facebook, which took about a day to hear back from their side. I hope the management put more attention into this.

The front desk staff and the restaurant were excellent. As for the room facilities some of the amenities like towel were missing when they removed it. They didn’t replace with clean towel and had to check with housekeeping. Also some rooms have hair dryer and water and some room doesn’t.
