Top Istana Hotel Reviews

Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching

Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching

6/10 Okay
"Location right next to the riverfront, though no river views rooms available. Some staff were very helpful, some more apathetic. Price is reflective of what you get and amenities were adequate for a short stay. Beds in a twin room were large and fairly comfortable. Some towels were threadbare, others were fine. Breakfast is average. One factor we did not take into account was the loud road noise during the night. Thin glass windows meant the sound carried. Motorbikes and hotted up cars like using the main road as their own personal speedway between 2am and 4am. Not the hotels fault of course, but maybe a more upmarket place has better soundproofing?"
