HIghly Recommended

5 out of 5

I was upgraded to the deluxe room on 9/F with one double bed and one single bed so the room is very spacious. It is also clean, comfortable and quiet and well equipped with big flat screen tv (though channels such as NHK was available on the first night only). The swimming pool has a 180 degree view of the Sarawak river. It is not big but enough for swimming and relaxing. The buffet breakfast is very good with a variety of fruits, vegetables, eggs (steamed, scrambled and omlette), noodles/rice and cakes. The hotel is located very close to most of the heritage sites of Kuching and has an adjoining shopping mall that has a large supermarket Everrise and a bookstore called MPH. The hotel also offers shuttle bus to the airport at RM15 per person per trip.

Reviews for The Waterfront Hotel

Good base for staying in Kuching

4 out of 5

This was our third stay here visiting our son who volunteers with the orang-utan project. Suppose that says a lot in itself. It's very conveniently situated for the waterside and for the Chinese and Indian areas where you can wander at your leisure. We were on "room only " basis, and really disappointed that Café Chat doesn't open till 10 nowadays, and doesn't do simple things like toast for breakfast - we can't eat the full breakfast on offer in the Puzzle restaurant. Staff as always friendly and helpful. Rooms cleaned every day and fresh toiletries and towels and bottled water left which we really appreciated. There's a fridge and kettle and they leave tea, coffee and creamer every day. Also hairdryer, iron and ironing board in the wardrobe.Last time we were there the pool area was looking really worn, so we were pleased to see lots of new beds and loungers this time. Looking much better. It's lovely to be able to swim after a hot and sweaty day out.

Visit Kuching

Once renowned as the home of the White Rajahs, Kuching is Sarawak’s largest and most cosmopolitan city. It is an ideal spot from which to explore the rest of Borneo, but the city itself is well worth exploring. Visit its colonial neighbourhoods, museums exhibiting the proud culture of the Bornean tribes, and plenty more cultural inspirations from across Asia. This melting pot of Malaysia is an ideal escape for adventure seekers.

WHAT TO DO IN KUCHING

The top spots in Kuching include the big cat statue before Chinatown, the Waterfront and Damai Beach. Kuching is also home to plenty of magnificent museums. They are clustered to the south of the city centre, where you can comfortably learn about the rich wildlife of the Borneo rainforests and the fascinating culture of the Borneo tribes including Borneo headhunters. See what an Iban longhouse looks like. As you explore more of Kuching, learn more about the traditional tattoo Iban as well. Muzium Negeri Sarawak is the region’s oldest museum and a fascinating must-visit. The Sarawak Islamic Museum is another popular spot, showcasing the famous replica of Prophet Muhammad’s pbuh.

Temples and Mosques in Kuching

The fascinating Tua Pek Kong Temple is the jewel of the city’s Chinese cultural heritage. Also, the remarkable City Mosque features an incredible design and shouldn’t be missed. However, to experience Islamic culture at its finest representation, a visit to the Masjid Jamek Mosque is recommended.

Rainforest World Music Festival

The annual Rainforest World Music Festival has put Kuching on the world map of serious festival-goers. Every year, people fly in to Kuching, Sarawak just to experience the amazing exhibition of world music held in the very authentic setting of Borneo's rainforests. It's a well-organized event that is not only incredibly fun, but educational, interactive and a true celebration of culture the world over.

Best hotels in Kuching

If you're mainly exploring museums and food in the central parts, it is recommended to book a hotel in the Kuching City Centre. Tune Hotel and Harbour View Hotel are popular options, close to the Waterfront, shopping malls or attractions like Tua Pek Kong. Pullman Kuching is a top choice if you really want to treat yourself to a nice hotel. But if you're in town for RWMF, then it's better to stay near Damai Beach within walking distance of the festival grounds. It gets hot and sticky, so a room nearby to refresh yourself or sneak a nap between the afternoon workshops and evening performances is a good idea. Read more about the festival in our Cuti-Cuti travel blog.

Sarawakian Food in Kuching Restaurants

Eating out is an important part of local culture. Food is fairly cheap in Kuching, so you can sample lots of the local favourites. Don't just stick to your familiar Malaysian dishes like nasi lemak. With traditions of cooking completely with natural 'utensils', food in Kuching is an adventure itself. Sarawak laksa and kolok mee are popular local dishes, as is the non-oily nasik aruk-style fried rice. You should also try Kuih Jala, a longhouse dish, nasi pulut, sugarcane and coconut juice, and a variety of food cooked in bamboo shoots. When it comes to bars and clubs, several areas stand out, including Padungan Road, Jalan McDougall and Travillion.

Shopping in Kuching

The Main Bazaar near Kuching’s waterfront is where tourists will find the majority of the city’s handicraft items. These are ideal for souvenirs, and offer tourists a chance to experience local shopping life at its best. There are also malls dotting the city. The likes of Plaza Merdeka, Kuching Sentral and the lifestyle shopping mall, The Spring, are all excellent places to escape the heat of the city and enjoy a few hours of modern shopping delights.
