A nice hotel by the river”

A work related trip flew us to Sibu and stayed at the hotel. Arrived in the evening and thankful that check in was a breeze - and got upgraded to another room was a bonus. The Kingwood is one of the big (earlier) hotels in Sibu so it us showing its age. The room was spacious with the usual amenities and the view - overlooking the river - gives one the idea of how busy this riverine town is. Breakfast spread was good even if a bit limited and during the fasting month, it is offered at 4.30 am for the Muslim travellers, which is always a good business practice. It also have a fitness centre but do check with the reception on the operating hours. Sibu town is walkable from the hotel and one can sample the culture of the Foochow settlers as well as a variety of local delicacies as shops, food courts and the local market its just within a 10 minutes walk radius from the hotel.

Good but not consistent”

It was our roadtrip travel to sabah from kuching so we manage to stay at sibu kingwood hotel.. the first route was okey.. the breakfast was good... but when we cx in for the second time coming from sabah to kuching.. the breakfast was not so good.. so i'll say it wasnt consistent... the room is quite small from prevoius stay.. however the staff is ok... but not so friendly.. please have more smile on counter reception.. the swimmingpool is great. The hotel staff need to implement more customer friendly and need to smile instead of giving salty face.

Great stay”

Room & toilet were spacious, a fridge also provided, very clean & comfy. Slept very soundly at throughout the night, but my mum said she heard next door’s alarm sound & there was smell cigarette smoke in the middle of the night ( maybe from the corridor). We requested for river view & managed to get it, the view was really nice in the morning & sunset time! We also order room service for dinner, the food portion was very generous & they took only 30 minutes to send our foods. The breakfast spread is ok and we took a short morning walk along the river side esplanade after breakfast, super near to the boat express jetty. Please note that grab service in sibu is very limited, most drivers prefer to go to airport instead of going around the town area, we took 30 mins to book a grab car from the bus terminal to the hotel because there was no drivers around. We didnt dare to go out far in case there is no grab car when return, however we managed to go to central market for some fruits & kompia. Haha

Excellent”

Kingwood Hotel Sibu is my favorite stay in this small town. The location is great, the room is clean and spacious.

Good Job”

Kingwood sibu is really nice place to staff. Price is more affordable like us as a bikers. Friendly staff. Improve more services to make it interesting.

Decent hotel in Sibu”

Decent hotel in Sibu. Facilities and rooms are a bit old, probably due to old age of the hotel. That affected the cleanliness as well. Overall, it is a decent hotel in Sibu. The breakfast is really good!

Highly recommend for business travellers ”

Everything are better than my expectations, but there are some minor things to be improved: 1) The lift is too slow. 2) No fan/aircon in the lift. 3) No sign board to point out the path from parking to hotel lift. In short, it is a good hotel, I will choose it again when I back to Sibu.

Excellent ”

Very nice and good place and aslo the room clean. Temperature of aircond minimum is 20c but it is nice. Brackfast not so much variety but yummy... Overall, good place to stay with family and I will be stay in this hotel if I and family go to Sibu.

Worth the money”

Most of 4 stars hotels in Sibu are more expensive than this hotel and their facilities, interior design, breakfast are also not as good as this hotel. Really satisfied, and worth the money.

River front hotel”

Good location,good staffs, clean and big room, river view from room. Walking area to central market, night market need to walk about 20 mins, a lot of restaurant beside the hotel, I will choose here if come to Sibu again

Very good”

Nice, but my room smell cigarette especially toilet area.. This is my 2nd time stay at kingwood sibu the 1st one also smell cigarette, the rest so far so good except BAU ROKOK.. Ohh ya mine was at TOWER B

Spacious room worth to stay.”

i really like this hotel because it has basement parking which really secure my car (as for a traveler like me need to secure my vehicle), only the hotel area really have tight space parking and driveway located on the corner. but overall i really recommend this because really worth, you just go outside and walk to nearby shops, streets, parks, etc. and this hotel provided breakfast also makes my day feel better. Thanks Kingwood!

nice newly renovated rooms close to the wharf”

rooms are newly renovated and look modern. 5 mins walk to sibu wharf. Only downside is the area in immediate vicinity doesnt have much and you'll need to walk to the town centre

place to stay”

of all 3 stars and above hotels in sibu, i will always ended up in kingwood for 3 main reason: price/room/location.

Good”

Kingwood Hotel was choose primary because it is close to the Sibu Ferry Terminal. The room is spacious and clean. The view from the window was stunning. Perhaps the small let-down were the fact that there were no tooth brush given, and that the channels on the TV were very very limited.

happy”

definitely value for money. probably the biggest hotel in Sibu... everything is good order. only set back is current renovation of old wing's grd floor before the elevator. probably should just put up a fulll height temporary plywood wall with decor until the renovation is done.

Big Room, Poor WiFi and no bottled water”

Consider a very big hotel in Sibu. Nice and clean lobby but the lift is considerable old. The lift door is not smooth and I was hit by the door when it opened half way and suddenly stop. Definitely need to wait until it open fully before stepping out. I stayed in the newly renovated room. Room is big and clean. Location is good, can get food within walking distance. The WiFi signal is good but the speed is terrible at night, basically cannot work at all. Average download speed is between 0.3-0.7 Mbps. Definitely using those cheap wireless access point that is not designed for higher density. I was a bit surprise that there is no bottled water supply at all. So far even budget hotel that I have stayed provide at least 2 bottles of water. TV is considerable small for a big size room. For the price, I think it is not that bad if you don't mind to cook your own water and no need WiFi.

Expect the unexpected”

we were told that we gonna have the new wing (new building) but we ended up to be put in the old building, old room. Overall stay was pleasant, breakfast is ok, staff are helpful and the hotels located the centre of sibu town. 5 minutes walk to esplanade.

Good...”

this feels like the true sibu... live here no will do Suk Puan.. ti ki ju keng lo... foo chow bro...

Good stay, but.....”

I would recommend Kingwood purely for its location which is within 10 to 15 minutes walking distance to the biggest market in Sibu (the Central Market) and many eateries and the parks near the river. As far as the facilities are concerned, although we had a very spacious end lot room with a great river view, the free WiFi was non-existent. We had power failure once due to faulty switches. However, the maintenance was quick to respond. The aircond and hot water shower worked fine. Daily breakfast was nothing to shout about. So you win some and you lose some....
