Front office Staff - friendly and very professional
Housekeeping- ok but when clean up the room but never replace new towel
Room - ok not very big or small (family room- 4adult)
Breakfast- excellent
Location - really convenience just nearby waterfront (just walk 5-10mnt)
Not specific proper parking, have to share with shopping mall parking.
Worst experienced to find parking.
If you have driver or take a grab maybe easier. Just drop at lobby hotel.

Location is perfectly centered to see the old bazaar, original building and waterfront restaurants. View from the 7th floor was fantastic of the entire river. The pool side cafe on the 4th floor put you in a vantage point to smell the local food smells and the pleasing sounds from the mosques at prayer time. 6-star hotel

- Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit
- Zimmer war top und schön eingerichtet
- Frühstück war absolut Weltklasse. Kaffee vom Barista, verschiedene front stage cooking Angebote, sehr breite Auswahl an Speisen
- gut ausgestattetes und gepflegtes Gym
- Parkplatz kostenlos
- Lage top und zentral, sodass man die City gut zu Fuß entdecken kann
- direkt am Hotel befindet sich eine riesige Shoppingmall, die man per direkten Durchgang vom Hotel erreicht (Klamottenläden, Starbucks & Co.)
- der Pool hat nicht wirklich zum relaxen eingeladen. Da war viel Hektik und viele Leute.

Fantastic location, Carpenter Street across the street, India Street behind the entrance, the riverfront a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast had many Western & Asian choices of cereals, eggs, fruits etc. Twin room was large, a/c very effective, large windows with great view. The staff are incredibly friendly & helpful.
The pool is located on the 4th floor in the bar area, so the area doesn’t see the sun at all & the water is not heated. There’s a family of pigeons that use the pool too! One evening the pool/bar area was closed due to a private function, which was inconvenient as I’d planned to watch the water & light show from there.

Excellent location, linked to a small mall. Steps away from India Street and China Town.
The room is dusty and sweat smell.

Love the hotel. It's so strategically located and it is so conveniently attached to a mall. Food was not a problem at all. Alhamdulillah. Love the team. They were super helpful. And the room was simply lovely. Since we faced the waterfront, we were able to see the fireworks from our room :) unforgettable experience. Alhamdulillah.

Room has a full view to Waterfront so really enjoyed that. Short distance from the airport. Location is super, all tourist attractions are in walking distance here. The market and mall are full of culture and interesting products. Pool has the greatest view of waterfront and soothing. Luggage service after checking out is very thoughtful when you have a late flight.

Die Lage des Hotels war sehr gut, man war sehr schnell an der Promenade. Zudem war das Frühstück super, es hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt und war ansprechend angerichtet. Es gab leckeren Kaffee aus einer Siebträgermaschine und das Ambiente ist auch schön. Das Hotel ist direkt an eine Mall angeschlossen, was auch praktisch ist.
Das Zimmer stinkt extrem muffig. Wenn die Klimaanlage aus war (Karte muss im Zimmer bleiben, sonst Klima aus), war es aufgrund des Gestanks nicht im Zimmer auszuhalten. Der Schrank mit der Minibar stinkt nach gammeligen Käse- hier wurde wohl seit längerer Zeit nichts mehr gereinigt. Zudem war der Minibar-Kühlschrank klebrig und versifft von innen und wenn man ihn geöffnet, hat er ganze Raum nach Käse gestunken. Der Kissenbezug war dreckig und mit alten Blutflecken verschmutzt- solche Bezüge sollte man einfach wegwerfen! Das Kissen haben wir beiseite gelegt und es wurde einfach dort liegen gelassen. Das Bad ist grundsätzlich schön und groß, jedoch kein Stromanschluss für z.B. Föhn oder Rasierer.
Wir haben unsere Anliegen mehrfach an der Rezeption und dem Zimmerpersonal kommuniziert, jedoch wurde man "belächelt". Zudem haben alle wenig verstanden, was wir von ihnen wollen. Man hätte es sich ja einfach mal selbst anschauen können ;).
Das Zimmerpersonal saß in den fremden Zimmern auf dem Bett und hat Videos geschaut, die Zeit wäre also da gewesen!
Bei unserer Ankunft haben wir nicht gemerkt, dass die Zimmertür klemmt, diese stand also den GANZEN ABEND inklusive unserer Wertsachen während wir geduscht und geschlafen haben offen. Irgendwann erbarmte sich die Rezeption, uns über die kaputte Tür zu informieren. Hier hätte jeder x-beliebige Mensch reinlaufen und unsere Wertsachen mitnehmen können.
Der Gesamteindruck von anderen Reisenden bestärkte unsere Meinung.
Was uns auch negativ aufgefallen ist, dass die Toiletten im EG (Übergang zur Mall und Lobby/ Rezeption) erst ab 10 Uhr morgens geöffnet wurden. Es ist ja schön, dass sich das Hotel noch etwas mit den Mallbesuchern dazu verdienen möchte, aber die Toiletten für 12 h nicht für die Hausgäste zur Verfügung zu stellen ist ein No Go.
Wir würden das Hotel vermutlich nicht mehr buchen. Kuching im allgemeinen ist aber auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert!

Ein tolles Hotel. Modern, gute Lage und (meine Meinung) super Preis /Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Für die Fahrstuhl-Steuerung mußte man außergewöhnlich viel Geduld aufbringen.
Meine gewaschene Wäsche ist mir am Abend vor der Abreise nur nach mehrmaliger Nachfrage aufs Zimmer gebracht worden.

The mosque’s prayer nearby is too loud. Rang a few times in a day.

Location. Space
The mosque nearby prayer is very loud. Can hear it a few times in a day. The piping music can be heard as I’m staying only one floor above the dining area.

Premier King Suite was very good size. Location was truly central - opposite was the mid autumn festival on Carpenter Road. Excellent Location. Breakfast was very delicious and had good range. Staff were very helpful. I liked that they had water served at the reception.
The room could have been prettier. 52 Sq m but a lot more could have been done to beautify the room. There was this funny rule that if you want to go to the gym on Level 5, you have to go to reception and they will help you go up to Level 5. Surely, it is possible to programme the room keys so that people staying in the hotel could go to the gym on Level 5. that was a big strange.

Excellent location near the centre of the town and close to the city's historical district. The hotel was clean with good amenities at an excellent price. As a heavy thunderstorm prevented us from going outside on our final evening, it was a great convenience to have an adjoining shopping mall to get our dinner and do some last-minute shopping.
4.5 / 5.0
Location is very strategic right in front of Kuching waterfront and next to old town where Carpenter street is located.
Room is very spacious, comfortable and value for money.
Hotel frontage is small no direct access to car park, basically sharing car park access with Plaza Merdeka Mall. However, there is direct lift access to hotel from car park.
