I love tha ariva as besides being spacious and comfortable for 4 of us, the location is within walking distance to the various shopping centers, souvenir shops and Kuching waterfront. It is also easy to get food around the area and our favourite was Medan selera just across the river. Only 50cts to get on the sampan and barely 5... More

Had stayed happily in these apartments a few times over the years when it was managed by the Somerset group. Ariva took over the management about 1 - 2years ago and sadly, nothing much has changed since the take-over. We booked online on Wotif for a 2BR Premier at RM360 nett (approx. USD120). We tried booking direct with the apartments... More

I and my husband spent a couple of nights at Ariva: the first night was booked online (to "test" the quality!), then we decided to extend our stay and the Management kept the same price even if not booked again online. The room with queen size bed was well furnished, spacious enough to place our 2 big luggages plus 2... More

Stayed here recently with my family in the 3 bedrooms apartment. It is near the mall, cake shop (Secret Recipes) and convenience store (7-Eleven). A bit far to walk to the city centre or Waterfront. The apartment is furnished and complete with fridge, microwave, electric-stove, washing and dryer machine etc (including cutlery). Our room and hall have nice views of... More

I usually like to stay in a service apartment in a city so I was happy to choose Ariva. This is away from the relatively more crowded riverfront hotels and yet still very convenient in terms of proximity to 7-11/Secret recipe etc. (Btw - the cafe in the hotel only operates for breakfast). I was mostly happy with the room... More

Apartment is basic with fridge,micro-wave etc...room is big though, breaky is all same everymorning not much choice for the amount we pay.But love the rooftop swimming pool, overall comfortable stay....

Of all the options within the golden triangle, this place offers the best value. We have stayed here twice and have been pleasedwith the rooms and service. The location coudnt be much better. Downsides are that it is not 5 star,3 at best, it has ants and rooms on the waterfront side can be noisy until midnight if the Top... More

I stayed at Ariva for 3 nights (16-19/3/13) and I enjoyed the services and the staff were friendly. The front office staff was very helpful especially Patrick. The rooms were clean and the coffee/tea and water was replenished everyday. The room also had an iron and iron board and also a hair dryer. The room had wifi and that was... More

I stayed here for a short business trip with colleagues and it was a nice change from the typical hotel room. It has free WIFI (which was incredibly useful), a nice living room, clean amenities and comfortable beds. It is also definitely useful when you come to Kuching often for business and need a central base to return to, at... More
