Great location

Great location and very helpful staff. Rooms are looking a little dated but they are large and very comfortable. Great bed. Very good breakfast. A little black mould around the shower that should be removed. But this is a minor flaw for an otherwise excellent hotel.

The hotel is connected to the shopping mall so it's really convenient. We really enjoyed the club lounge (staff there is really nice!) and they even provide the airport transfer for free which is a big plus. We didn't expect too much of the hotel but the hotel is much nicer than the photo on their website. We strongly recommend to stay the club room if your budget allowed.

Lovely place to stay. Lovely staff who were very helpful. The pool however was closed when we were there for maintenance and then a private party which was very disappointing.

Great location for the hotel at the waterfront and above the Merkada shopping centre. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed on the executive floor with all day access to the lounge. They offered a sufficient breakfast in the lounge but had limited choices for a vegetarian diet in the evening. It looked like a great menu for meat eaters though for hors d’oeuvres. Also, happy hour was restricted to wine and beer. Beautiful views from our room and lounge.

Love this hotel - friendly staff reflect Kuching itself. Amazing room service, access to shopping mall in hotel, great views, amazing breakfast buffet, I want to go back ! Only small complaint might be that the elevators are slow and get busy with shopping mall users, wedding and conference guests, etc - but don't let this small matter deter you from staying here !
