            Worthy if you just need a place to sleep or get quick rest”

            This hotel is worth to stay if you just need a place to sleep or quick rest. During my stay here, I spent more time outside than in the room, so with the price offered, I feel its reasonable. The hotel is also suitable if you are staying alone or couple as the rooms are quite cramped and small. Not recommended if you’re bringing big and lots of baggage because there’s no enough space to place your stuff. The hotel got no lift so not recommended to whom have “trouble with stairs”. Overall i like my stay here as the place is quite strategic - walking distance to Waterfront Kuching and Topspot. The room are also quiet, not much noise though its budget and near to main road.

            good location but bad ventilation system inside room”

            facility is too simple, there are no kettle, no hair dryer inside the room. futhermore, aircon is quite noisy sometime and a lot of ants near to the table so we can not put any food on that small table, the cleaninesss still have to improve as the towel have some dot spot make us worry. i have to said that the price is only value for the location because easy to find food at chinatown and also very near to waterfront and some other tourist destination. however, we are not going back as it is too simple and too tiny toilet for us, we can't even sit proper on the toilet bowl, futhermore the ventilation of the room is not good at all, we feel stuffy even with the aircon.

            The location is very ideal as a lots of kuching famous restaurant is in walking distance. Besides that, tourist attraction also in walking distance. The staff was good as they willing to direct us patiently as we cnt locate the accommodation around 2am. However, the room is very noisy when night time as it is close to main road and the room is not cleaned by the staff unless we requested. The room size also limited. The shower experience was terrible as the water was suddenly small suddenly big and suddenly hot, suddenly cold. Limited carpark for driving customer and carpark is located at the alley. Moreover, I had requested 3 rooms as I travel with family. The management had separate us into separated rooms in different floor and the size of room were nt uniform as I booked same room type. Overall it is ok for budget travelling and do not expect high. Satisfied with the service provided. Enjoyable stay.

            Cozy and comfortable. Doesn't matter about the space because it's just a place to sleep because you know you will spending the whole day enjoying Kuching City! It's rainforest! It's even cheaper and worth every penny.

            Budget Hotel, strategically located in Chinatown”

            Location, Car Park, Really Near to Chinatown

            We booked 3 rooms at second floor. There is no elevator, so it was quite uncomfortable for my grandma to get into the room. Rooms are small, but quite clean. They provide soap and shampoo but the tissue in my room was wet at my first night, so I cannot use it. We spent 2 nights at this hotel, but during our stay, the wet tissue were still there. It seems that they didn't really look at the tissue problem. We traveled by car and needed 15 minutes to locate this hotel as its name is not very visible from Abell road and from Chinatown. They have to improve on that. But its location is good, because it is really near to chinatown, and at walking distance to sarawak plaza, taman kereta, and waterfront. Overall, this hotel is good for budget traveler who need cheap place to sleep and to find local food.

Walking distance to Chinatown, 7-11, many restaurant, laundry shop. Still not update in google map, so better enter Kapit hotel, the hotel besides to grab uber. Overall a pleasant stay. Will recommend in blog.
