The Ranee Boutique Suites

This hotel was just perfect as it sits right in front of the waterfront and within walking distances to many heritage buildings in Kuching city. There is no swimming pool (or gym), therefore walking is your best option to get some workout. The staff were friendly, helpful, breakfast selection changes everyday, rooms are spacious and clean. I would highly recommend this place if you plan on seeing more of Kuching city by foot.

Nice boutique hotel and convenient to everywhere. Do note the hotel is not kid welcomed due to class and staircase. Didnt realise when I booked, luckily they allow my 8 year old child in ( I have to sign indemnity form). Family room is huge and comfy

Was in Kuching for a short trip and after checking my options, decided I must give The Ranee a try. Chose a Standard Suite and was given 104, overlooking the main road. Check in was quick as I had booked using agoda and staff was always nice and smiling 😁Room was cool when I checked in; both ceiling fan and air cond was on, definitely good to cool down from the humid weather outside. Loved the overall decor and theme of the hotel, just be careful of the stones in the shower - very slippery. Breakfast was very good, loved the laksa Sarawak and the mee hoon cangkuk manis 👍🏻 Would definitely choose The Ranee again!

Enjoyed my stay in the Elizabeth Suite on 3rd floor. Staff were very friendly and spoke good English. Travel desk booked 2 wildlife trips for me with CPH travel which were both great. One or two odd design choices in the room: a large outdoor terrace which can only be reached by ducking under a massive concrete beam (unless you're under 1.2m tall) — I bashed my head. Bathroom has toilet INSIDE a shower cubicle with a door, and shower unit OUTSIDE but not over the bath. Only 3 power sockets and hard to reach to charge devices. Downstairs the same 2 spotify playlists (morning/evening) in the restaurant started to get tortuous after a while. In the restaurant (MBistro) the local food was good, but the breakfast Western options weren't up to the same standard, and coffee was the usual bitter/stewed stuff. All in all I enjoyed the stay, but considering the potential it would be nicer with some improvements — at least get a coffee machine and train some baristas! :)

The only issue we had was with the restaurant. There were limited vegetarian options on the menu and we ordered the only two local dishes that were listed as vegetarian. Unfortunately both of them came with shrimp or fish paste. We explained to the waitress but I don't think she understood that fish was not vegetarian. The lack of vegetarian options is a shame but not a huge problem. Listing a dish as vegetarian when it has seafood in it is definitely not acceptable. The menu needs to be amended to fix this error and the restaurant staff - both chefs and waitstaff - should be trained to understand dietary requirements. Other than that our stay was amazing. The interior design, decor and use of space is very good and make for a really nice environment to spend time in.

I’ve been asking the staff to change the light bulb in the bathroom but for the 8 days of staying no one manage to do that despite my several reminders and even show one of the staff the actual bulb that need to be changed. Also asking for switch to turn on the night light next to the bathroom also can’t get the answer till I checked out.

Friendly staff,good location, clean, nice local breakfast(s'wak laksa, cangkuk Manis noodle, etc.). I got the surprise from the hotel staff for a slide of tasty birthday cake on my birthday. That was awesome! Walking distance to few attractions, cruise, souvenir shops, mall.

As per the name Ranee is Boutique Suites hotel - so no remarks -> everything is great. :) Location is perfect - at the waterfront, interior is very good and classy, bathrooms too. However, I believe the price is on the high end for this city and one can find almost similar accommodations for lower amounts. Personally we needed accommodation for 1-2 nights, getting up early and coming back late - so for us there was not much sense to spend 100$ a night just to sleep.

This hotel has a lot of character and is very comfortable. Excellent location right on the waterfront in the middle of Kuching. Great breakfast which is freshly prepared for you and changes everyday with mixture of western and local choices. Unique stay and best place in Kuching

The Ranee hotel itself was lovely, our room was absolutely massive with a full sitting room and separate bedroom/bathroom. The room was clean, but the shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bathroom were almost empty and they did not refill. It is definitely one of the more expensive hotels in the city, but the size and quality of rooms proved their worth. There are not that many rooms, so it books up in advance, especially in peak season (July/August). The hotel was walk-able from many things in the riverfront area, from the Kuching museum to the Jubilee grounds (the Jubilee grounds were a bit of a further walk, about 30 minutes). There are tons of cute cafes/bistros nearby and plenty of souvenir shops. The hotel does not have a gym or a pool as it is boutique style, but the interior decorations are very well done. The hotel has a peaceful library on the 1st floor that was right by our room. I am rating the service at only 3 stars because the staff didn't go out of their way at all to help us. When we would enter or leave the hotel, the front desk staff would avoid eye contact and never once greeted us, even when we were checking in. They didn't offer to help us figure out what activities to do or to help us find restaurants in the area. They held our bags on the last day when our flight was in the evening. We left the Do Not Disturb button activated as we were only staying for 2 nights and had valuables laying around, but the cleaning staff ignored it and came in anyway. Overall, the service was pretty minimum but the rooms were nice.

Really love this charming hotel and would definitely go back again. The staff was ultra helpful and the food was superb. Their roti canai is the best I have ever had (and I have had A LOT of rotis as a Malaysian).

Room comfortable, nicely decorated and comfortable bed, reception staff helpful and friendly all you could hope for. Breakfast a little restrictive for vegetarians when staff asked for alternatives only option given was to remove meat items no further alternatives.

We ve stayed a couple of times at The Ranee Hotel and it s always been very comfortable and relaxing. The location is great. We would recommend the hotel to anyone. They just need to improve their breakfast. We always skip their breakfast and go over the road to The Court house cafe .

A nice little place to stay - nice breakfast concept (non Buffett), friendly staff and a good location . Though not much in terms of facilities but the rooms were clean and comfortable. Nice design of reading area. All in all good stay and will recommend it.

I have stayed in this hotel numerous times. However I have noticed the food standard has declined. I have raised it up to the management and I am hoping to see some improvement. Although breakfast is included with the room, the quality of the coffee and food needs to be improved. If I were to stay there next time, I will NOT be eating in house.

Staff recognised my return which was nice . Felt like coming home ! My only not positive feedback is the food , I think quality has decreased and use of lots of MSG. Was extremely thirsty after I had nasi lemak and chicken curry . Sarawak laksa also is not as good as before, change of cook I believe

Nothing much more to add just a few minor things could improve. A little more training for some staff and a better television package, I don't usually bother but I missed a big chunk of the Olympics and that got me to thinking that other users might want a better choice under normal circumstances.

Ranee is definitely our "go to" place to stay in Kuching. Ranee & Kuching is great for just chilling....Ranee staff very friendly & hospitable. The hotel is designed and decorated very well. Will be back for a third time.

I have stayed in this hotel three times now and my stay has always been pleasant. Staff at reception is friendly. My feedback comments about the food menu re : banana fritters. You use to have the best in town in my opinion, since you changed the cook, the banana fritters with cheese is not tasty as he/she ( the cook) puts the kraft singles slice which taste like plastic, Previously the former cook use to grate cheese on the fried banana and drizzle with honey.

Had yet another wonderful stay . My second time and very pleased with the standard . Staff are warm and will make your stay as comfortable as possible . Hotel is next to shops so if you enjoy shopping , you will be entertained
