Excellent airport hostel ”
Larry who runs Miri Trail Guesthouse is really friendly and knows a lot about travelling to Mulu national park. The room was very clean and comfortable and perfect for us since we wanted to get a flight the next day. If anyone is going to Mulu national park I would recommend staying here first.

Convenient hotel for a Stopover”
This isn't my first time staying in a Bornean bed & breakfast, and I must say - it isn't bad. As the place is still relatively new, I don't have many complains about broken amenities. Located on the second/third floors, you would find yourself heaving your bags up a dingy staircase as elevators are not available. This may be difficult if you are not traveling light. The availability of several restaurants in the same block as the guesthouse, and also a convenience store makes it quite livable if you plan not to go far. One issue to point out would be the lack of any power points (plug/sockets) in the 'Standard without view' room, which made charging any electronic devices extremely tricky. For those who absolutely must take hot showers, you'll be sore disappointed as the claimed 'heated showers' of the guesthouse really did not work well at all. I wouldn't complain since cold showers are quite acceptable in tropical Miri. I had a bad start with the guesthouse staff who decided to make me wait a good 5-10 minutes sitting at her counter as she yapped away at her phone with some relative or friend (I'm Malaysian and I understood her language; and how unimportant the call was). Still, I didn't make much of it as good service has always been hard to come by in Malaysian small towns. She ended up being one of the most accommodating staff I've met. There is potential in this guesthouse. But being such a new place, I could still tell that they have not been cleaning the toilets, rooms nor sweeping the corridors (which guests are meant to walk on barefooted) frequently enough. For that reason, the toilet floors always felt sandy, the corridors dusty etc. It's easy to get away with such things when the place is new, but time will tell whether or not they can continue to attract a crowd.

small room but comfortable”
this guesthouse is very nearby miri airport,just a 5 minutes walking distance. it's the most ideal location for one night stay when you need to catch a flight tomorrow morning. a few of restaurant/coffee house either in front or beside guesthouse, no issue for having 3 meals a day, so convenient.however, if interior could be refurbished would be much better.

Best location - opposite airport ”
The only thing I like about this hostel is the location and reasonable price. During my stay , I encountered the following issues: 1. Morning before 9 am, no staff at the reception, main entrance door is not closed ( so there might be security issue but I suppose it is ok in place like Miri) 2. No water supply from the tap in the morning - not sure if it is one off or constant issue. 3. Far from the city, hence it is the best choice if you just transit in Miri for a day to catch the early flight next day morning. ( literally opposite the airport within walking distance)

Friendly and Economical Hostel ”
Very friendly owner. Even willing to let us to leave our bags there for a week and collect them back after our hike at Murud. The hostel owner also allowed us to take a break and showers at the hostel facility after our return from Murud hike, prior going to Miri Airport by accepting minimum token. In general, a hostel that is value for money.

Good location but basic. ”
The hotel is just opposite the airport within walking distance.Its enough for an overnight stay as I needed to take and early flight the next morning. Transport in Miri is expensive and there were no buses going to and fro to Miri town. So I was glad that the hotel was conveniently located. There were cheap eating places just downstairs.

Beside Miri Airport, good for stop-over to Mulu”
we booked this place as we only stop over-night at miri before morning flight to mulu, and it was 5min walk across a highway outside miri airport. place was ok for that budget. however, we still took taxi into miri town, as there was nothing else to do at night there. taxi at rm20 (from airport to before mega hotel in town); public bus is unstable (about 1 each hour and stops around 6pm).

small room, but clean”
i choose this guesthouse because it's located very near from the airport. you could reach the airport on foot. i arrived there at night and will take a morning flight from Miri to Kuching. the room is small, but clean. and the bathroom is also clean. although the sounds from the TV at living room next door makes me little bit difficult to sleep at first. but, i was so tired so it don't bother me after few minutes. If all you need is a place to lay your head down after your trip and must take an early morning flight. this hotel is a good option.

transferred to another hotel”
i was on transit in miri for a night. they renovate the place so they transferred me to a nice hotel nearby. they sent me to the hotel and fetch me up early in the morning for my next flight. THANK YOU! nice staff and location is near to the airport. maybe the upgraded the facilities after the renovation..i dont know.. but for a location, you can just cross the road and there you are!

Clean, nice but location not exciting”
Very enthousiastic owner, inviting and interested. He also plans trips to Mulu so that's convenient. The room is clean. The neighbourhood is not centered; nothing to do, but nice if you don't want to travel to much before or after your flight.

Two Words - Bed Bugs”
Nice family owned place. I had checked out the room before we left from the Miri airport on the Wednesday, looked what we were looking for. I knew we were checking in at 11 pm Monday and checking out at 4 am Tuesday, so for bucks, it was perfect. It was only later, after work, that I realised I had been bitten by bed bugs. My husband was fine.

No Thank You”
We were quite happy to be leaving the next morning. We chose Miri Trail because we had a 1 night (8 hours) layover in Miri and wanted something easy to the airport. It was not worth the convenience. We had 1 blanket that was inexplicably wet when we got into our room. Then from 5am we had a family using the toilets just outside our room (walls are paper thin). The amount of 'throat clearning' (hocking loogies) that was produced for about 90 minutes straight was incredible and even disturbing. It was impossible to sleep through it. If you for some reason decide to stay here, be sure to ask for a room at the opposite end of teh hall from the bathroom. Overall it was pretty gross.

Convenient next to the airport”
This place is fine for one night if all you are doing is arriving at night from the airport and leaving the next morning. It is just over the road from the Miri Airport and is basic and functional. If you arrive after about 9-9:30 at night there is no where to get food except instant noodles, so make sure you've eaten.

Good Location - Across from the airport”
The owner, Larry, said he would pick us up; however, we waited for over an hour and he didn't show. He said he went to the wrong place and since we didn't have a phone, he couldn't call us back. Anyway, the place is out of town...way out near the airport, so unless on a short transfer stay, I wouldn't recommend it. There is a bus that goes from the airport to town and back; however, there is no set schedule and the last bus to go back out to the airport is at 6:30. The taxi is about 25 ringgit one way. The place was clean, paper thin walls...we were surrounded by snoring guests. They leave you alone at night, no one stays to tend to the place and there is absolutely no security as the doors lead straight outside. We dropped our laundry off with them, expecting it for 2pm the following day; however, no one was tending to the guesthouse all day and night so we didn't get it back until the following morning about an hour before we needed to catch our flight~! It is a cozy environment with a t.v. and dvds. Toast for breakfast. We would stay again, only for the airport convenience.

Budget motel type good for overnight stay”
This hotel is good for overnight stays when you're in transit or have to catch an early flight out. Although it's very far from luxury, it is a decent hotel if you don't mind the shared bathrooms and toilets. They try to keep the surroundings clean and comfortable for the guests which is good. It's a fairly old hotel and guests can be heard in the next room during the night. But still a recommended stay if you're not the fussy type.
