We stayed at Merdeka palace for two nights, after finding what we thought was a "good deal" on a standard room. On agoda it claimed to be a 5 star hotel, so we came in with high expectations, and after seeing the magnificent lobby we thought we hit the jackpot! However, it all changed when we entered the room.

O.K., this may not be the finest hotel around and could do with a room make-over, but you are effectively in Borneo and and the humidity must play hell with the decor. The staff are great and try very hard to please. The location is good too. I'd go there again

I have been there twice for some days and enjoyed the stay. Very friendly stuff. Most of the relevant parts of the city are in walking distance. Good breakfast. For dinner we visited the restaurants downtown, so we can not say anything about the quality in these aspects. The bar is not really cheap.

We chose the Merdeka Palace Hotel after reading good reviews in tripadvisor. The room was small and the bathroom shower had black mould everywhere, the back of the bathroom door was covered in blackmould. We complained and were given a 1 bedroom apartment that was an improvement although the wallpaper was peeling off the walls. The carpets in the corridors... More

I booked 2 nights stay here during my official duty trip cos my intended hotel is fully booked. However, do my disappointment, i found this hotel not worth the money i have paid. In terms of location, it is strategic as you can go to Merdeka Plaza within walking distance. But the room design is really of very old fashioned.... More

I stayed from Feb. 23 to March 3 in a two bedroom suite. I was in the larger room with the 'control panel' in the bedside table which made it very hard to find the light switch! Who would think to look IN the bedside table for the LIGHT SWITCH! I found this quite inconvenient. You could tell that while... More

Check in from 2 - 4 February 2013 in a Deluxe room. Check in was superfast and the staff greet me with smiles on their face.

We have stayed twice at the hotel while my husband has been working in Kuching, the first time 2 weeks and the next 4 weeks. The hotel is great, in a superb location in the middle of the city centre, you can walk everywhere. If you get a room on the high floors it has magnificent views of the city... More

We took standard room. It was pretty small if I may say. But the service was good. The hotel was pretty quiet at night. Even though it was a little bit far from Kuching City center, but it was really near to Plaza Merdeka.

Had an event the few years back. Must say the banquet staff was very helpful and responsive. Most of them have a smile in their face. Certain part of the lobby is rather gloomy but acceptable. There's a fitness center with good massage and they do outcall to the room.
