A very big mistake I've ever made, stayed for 10days in a 2 bedrooms apartment suite. The moment we walked in the lobby..... WOW.... Splendid, awesome but it all changed the moment we walked to our room... Out the lift.... Carpet was shabby and dirty...... It just changed our mood totally, by the time we walked in our room, I...

This hotel is located in a site of an older building which once housed a hotel and office. Located within the older part of Kuching City, the hotel 's location is ideal for those who wish to explore the museum, the heritage buildings and the waterfront which are just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Got a good rate from hrs.com, RM120 nett / night with breakfast for 4 pax for a standard room. Room is quite small, and it's facing a carpark. I didn't expect much as normally rooms up on promo do not offer any view. Hotel looks good grand from the lobby. Breakfast is decent. Love the location, really convenient 5mins drive... More

This is an older style property. We stayed in a superior room which had been renovated and faced onto the Pedang (park). The bed room was a decent size but the bathroom was quite small and just contained a shower. The buffet breakfast was OK but nothing special. There is a large,very English style pub on the second floor but... More

It was probably ranked 5 stars when it first opened, but it is now far behind the other hotels. It is really old and definitely not attractive enough. I stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment. The beds were okay, the TVs were from the past century - one small one in the living room and one equally small one in... More

Upon checking in, no one offered help with our luggage. Rooms look dilapidated and in need of revamp. Kitchen sink choked. It took the banquet staff a long time to replenish the breakfast item. When we wanted to go for massage, we have to wait for 2 hours as only one masseuse was available. Towels was not replenished. Does not... More

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is quite old-style designed. My boy was heartbreaking because there is no bath tub. However, i will still give credit to the hotel staff friendliness and room cleanliness. As long as the room is clean, I wouldn't want to complaint too much. Breakfast has limited choice, but considered good (my... More

We stayed here when the hotel was full for an international event (Interhash). The staff were terrific and even organised a special laundry service as we were all runners/walkers. The hotel itself was a bit "faded glamour", but was clean and had good services. Breakfast and dinner buffet service was good and the hotel staff went out of their way... More
