Mediocre

Hotel in una posizione un po' defilata e scomodo per raggiungere i principali punti di attrazione. Il check in è stato veloce, ma la camera è molto piccola e male arredata (il letto matrimoniale è accessibile solo da un lato. Dall'altro è contro il nuro). La colazione è varia ed abbondante la pulizia un po' da rivedere.

Nice location but old and tired

The building is getting old and tired but I can’t fault the location. The staff was friendly but the apartment needs to improve on its noise insulation. You could hear the neighbor clearly and the noise from the karaoke nearby on a Friday night was just horrible.

Normal

Stayed there for 3 nights. Room size was OK. Condition was normal but can be better. Have to take a lift to level 4 to reception and then another lift to the room. More like an apartment than hotel. I would say it's a simple and affordable stay. Don't expect too much or you'll be disappointed.

Nice hotel with brilliant view and po

Checkin was smooth and friendly. We got a very nice sized room and decent bed, but with a brilliant view. Hotel also has pool with a great view. Gym is very worn out and almost useless. They don't open this area until 9am, very late. We told them this. Breakfast was nice and cheap, family is there and they are very friendly and helpful.

Reasonable

The building, corridor and room were all in desperate need for removation, especially the bathroom. I only got two bath towels and I had to ask to have them changed after a couple of days. The hotel is not environmentally friendly. The aircon was always on even if I turned it off on my way out, it got turned back on when I was away. The bathroom was moudy. It was not a four stars. For the price I guest one should not ask for too mcuh. It is very close to Pullman and Hilton and is walking distance to a few good local restuarants and the river front. The staff were friendly and very helpful otherwise. Wifi was very slow

A nice stay.

The hotel was in a good location only 10 minutes walk to the river where you will find all the action. The rooms and bathroom was clean and the beds and linens comfortable though the pillows were a bit thick and hard which made sleeping difficult but when I asked for a softer pillow they managed to find a couple. Alround the hotel was a good stay and we came away from Kuching feeling relaxed.

市街地にあるレジデンスタイプのホテル。部屋も広く、設備も新しい。屋上にはプールもある。希望すれば朝食も有料で取れる。ただし周辺には飲食店も多いので、朝昼晩とも手軽に外食できる。難点は夜遅く到着した時。入り口閉まってしまい、裏口から出入りするのだが、初めてだとその場所がなかなか分からない点だ。深夜の到着に対する配慮をもう少し考えて欲しい。(JO)

Difficult to locate hotel reception.

I booked 2 rooms for my stay from 8 to 10 September. As our flight arrived late in the night, upon arrival at the building we could not locate the reception of the hotel as the hotel's reception is located on the 4th level and also that as the building also include offices, the main lift lobby area was locked and we could get in. We went round the building and located another lift lobby area. There were no signs indicating the hotel reception. At checking in, we were surprised that the 2 rooms we booked had king size bed when at the time of booking some 1.5 months ago, I requested for 1 room with a king bed and the other room to have 2 single beds. The receptionist explained that the change was instructed by management. I would have preferred that the hotel sent me an earlier notification of being unable to fulfill our bed preferences. Otherwise stay at hotel was good but the hotel looks dated and the corrider leading to the rooms smelt of stale dampness. It is centrally located and within 3 minutes of walking to Jln Padungan.

We have travelled extensively. Massive let down. Room and hotel smelt terrible of mould and smoke. Facilities were dirty with excessive mould in wet areas, stench in rooms. Bins in lobbys were overflowing the whole stay, evrywhere was grubby. Breakfast was very basic. We left after 2 nights and moved to the Pullman.

Good hotel near to Pullman or Hilton in Kuching

Internet connection was poor. Was only able to connect to the network on the first night there, subsequently, failed to connect despite trobleshooting my device. Staff assured me that they will inform the network provider regarding the issue and recommended me to connect to other floor networks, but I was still unable to connect to those using my laptop and mobile phone. Nevertheless, it is a reasonably-priced hotel located within the vicinity of the likes of Pullman (50 metres away) and Hilton. Room (4/5) - comfortable bed, balcony was available, air-conditioning was in working order and hot shower was available at all time. Staffs were friendly, approachable and helpful. Checkout was fast - only needed to pass them my keys and that was it. Overall, I would recommend this hotel (service apartment) for stay, if you would not mind staying without internet connection. A good alternative if you are heading down to Kuching for a conference, etc. held at Pullman/Hilton and would like to spend less for a similar quality accommodation. (Hopefully the administrators will have sorted this issue out by the time you see this review)

Poor Parking. NExt to best seafood food court.

The poor image is they do no have parking. If you stay on weekday. High chance to get Saman . As it is public goverment parking area. Breakfast choice is extremely less. If you want book it, please select no breakfast, save the money to go outside eat.
