Deluxe room that we stayed in on 13 floor was spacious enough for 2 people and had nice river views of Kuching, also walk in shower But the wifi was non existent ( who wants to sit in the foyer to get a signal!!!)

It didn’t start well when we arrive on a wet evening , the doorman held the door open while we 2 ,60 plus year olds struggled up the steps with our luggage . No offer of help whatsoever . Hotel foyer is newly decorated which gives a good guest impression sadly this isn’t the case once you step out of the lift . The hallways smell , bathroom tiles are full of mould and need a good clean . Shower was equally grubby and shower gel dispenser empty . We checked on this and were given a water bottle full of gel . Toiletries are minimal , so take your own. Bed is firm , very firm after asking on 3 occasions I eventually got a spare pillow to lie on . Initially told no spare pillows in the hotel ! Air con is extremely noisy Wi-Fi is very hit and miss , mostly miss for us so we used free Wi-Fi in café opposite. TV channels poor too ok if you are Malaysian . Breakfast was ok but also limited . On a positive note , room was always kept clean, towels and bed linen replenished . Staff that we did encounter were mostly courteous. This is a 3 star hotel and I suppose you get what you pay for . Will we go back , no .

The hotel is situated in the central of Kuching city central and close/walkable distance to all the attractions like the Waterfront, Sarawak River, the river taxis, river sampan, shopping, food, souveinors, kek lapis shops, Chinatown, Topspot seafood (must go, must go), scenery at night was magnificent,. Would want to go again when the air fares come down again to pre pandemic levels

The room I booked wasn’t available after arguing for 10 minutes they gave me the room I booked. When I attend the room there was no internet when I went to complain I was told the wifi is not part of their terms. And also They charged me from my bank account when i said I want to cancel my booking so they leave me with any option unless I accept what they give me. As the Expedia said they I won’t be charged when I put my bank details. I think they are bit dodgy don’t recommend it to anyone

The rooms were neat and clean, newly refurbished vs other areas of the hotel. After staying in 2 types of the rooms (due to availability), I concluded that the rooms on higher floors facing the chinese temple were better than those facing the carpark building, less noise from the traffic.

The view was great over the waterfront was great. The hotel is in a very good location, good cafes very nearby for breakfast. Air conditioning in the lobby and the room is set too low - we adjusted it in the room. Had a few issues obtaining fresh towels. Free wifi but couldn't book in advance in other cities as all booking sites appeared to be blocked.

A good find
Perfect place to stay and staff were amazingly friendly n helpful. The hotel is so close to town n walking distance to many places. We had room 809 and the view fm the room is spectacular. The view of the sampan n boat going up n down the river and beautiful lights at night. One downside was the noise coming from the ventilation unit above the entrance. Highly recommended to all.
