The hotel has been refurbished and that was a pleasant surprise as it was getting quite tired looking. The suite we stayed in was fresh and modern. The selection of breakfast at the club level lounge was a bit sad, but the view was nice. The coffee house service is very poor. The kitchen takes forever to produce anything even... More

This is a great hotel - make sure you get a room overlooking the river. Nice big pool as well. Walking distance to most sights in Kuching. Staff are very helpful. Great breakfast included with lots of choices. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in a twin bed room, the super single bed is very comfortable and can fix up to two person. The washroom is clean and not smelly. The location is good, there are fast food, restaurant, book shop, lounge nearby the hotel. Worth to stay.

Spent three nights here for a short anniversary trip. Had no time to plan and adventure off to some foreign land. So, why not checking in somewhere really close to home? (20 mins drive). The hotel is simple, nothing too fancy but essentially it feels very ethnic. Given it's location in Sarawak, the hotel embraces a lot of local identity... More

I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel and was told it was newly renovated when I stayed. The rooms are clean, spacious and nicely decorated.
