Top Plaza Merdeka Hotel Reviews

The Marian Boutique Lodging House

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located at the Kuching Waterfront. It can get noisy because of festivities at the nearby temple including drums and firecrackers. There are a lot of stairs especially if you stay on the second floor and no elevators. It’s a historic property so it lacks the amenities of a hotel. For short stays up to a week."

Astana Wing - Riverside Majestic Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basement parking is stink. Breakfast was okay & can be improved. The pool needs to be maintained and service"

Pullman Kuching

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pullman Kuching. The staff were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. From the reception counter to the front entrance, the staff consistently greeted us with warm smiles, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. We also appreciated the room upgrade. The upgraded room was spacious, comfortable, and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only minor drawback was that some noise from the ongoing renovation works could occasionally be heard. Overall, we had a very pleasant and memorable stay at Pullman Kuching, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality shown by the staff."

The Waterfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Waterfront Hotel in Kuching, Sarawak was outstanding from beginning to end. Everything about our experience was five-star, and we would happily stay here again. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Kuching, within easy walking distance of the beautiful waterfront, shops, restaurants and cultural attractions. It was an ideal base for enjoying everything this wonderful city has to offer. Our room was spacious, comfortable, beautifully presented and exceptionally clean. The hotel facilities were excellent, and we appreciated the attention to detail throughout our stay. The highlight, however, was the wonderful staff. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, professional and genuinely helpful. From reception and housekeeping to the restaurant staff, we experienced the kindness and hospitality that made our visit to Sarawak so special. Breakfast was also excellent, with a generous selection of local and international choices and friendly, attentive service. Thank you to the entire Waterfront Hotel team for making our time in Kuching so enjoyable and memorable. Your hospitality contributed greatly to our experience of this beautiful city. Excellent location, excellent facilities, wonderful service and exceptional people. Five stars from us. We look forward to returning!"
