This was our second stay at the Marion. It's like spending the night at the museum. You can read the history of the original owner if you spend a few minutes at the waterfront Chinese Heritage Museum. The hotel is very close to bars and restaurants on Carpenter St. that can be noisy on occasion. We have stayed in the Chapel wing both stays and we're not bothered by street noise. If noise bothers you you may want to choose a room towards the rear of the property. Seems like people either love or hate this property. Place us with those who love it

Everything was actually very good but there were three things that guests have to be aware of.
1. The climb up to the entrance of the lodge as even steeper climb to the rooms on the second floor (I was ok but not all make like it)
2. The noise from the bars nearby maybe an issue
3. The breakfast. It supposed was to start at 7am and it was 710am when it opened and there was no apology .. nothing and put to 720am, no coffee. Disappointing.

Fascinating building with a really great ambience and located very conveniently for the waterfront and many great dining options. Room was comfortable but being on the 1st floor there was a lot of noise from the room on the floor above (heavy footsteps, things being dragged or dropped), something I guess is unavoidable in an old building.but maybe they could alert guests to be a little more considerate. Also no supplies like soap or hand towels in the bathroom. Shower gel was provided but in an awkward place to reach if you just wanted to wash your hands.

Excellent food at the restaurant on the property! Yes, it's old but it has a lot of style. If you're looking for extra hot water with high water pressure keep looking. But if you like unique style, this is the place. The stairs may be challenging for some.

Beautiful old building, and night manager stayed up very late to greet us. Unfortunately, the old building has windows that were not designed for a noisy modern environment in this city-center location. Noise from a bar was so loud that it hurt my ears inside the room till 2 AM. Even after that, 24-7 road noise was comparable to what you would hear standing on the road median. No one could sleep here
We made a week long reservation based on hotels.com reviews but left after one night because of the noise. Hotel refused to refund us for any part of t he cost.

If you like a hotel with character this is the place for you. Reception staff were great, there is a pool where you can chill. Wifi was good and if you don't want to leave the grounds, nice reception rooms to read. Will be back..

A more rustic feel to your stay in Kuching instead of the usual high-rise hotels in concrete buildings with no character. Very central location.
It is also very near to local bars, so it can be quite noisy during Friday and Saturday nights if you get the rooms on Chapel Wing.

Heritage building. Room 208 on 2nd floor far end the aircond unit not cold maybe need servicing or ceiling vent was not conceal only covered with mosquito netting. Reception to hotel building is far apart. Guest with car to take note gate close at 10pm & parking is limited about 8 bay & entrance from Church behind hotel building.

Really lovely place to stay in Kuching in walking distance of the waterfront And with plenty of character. There are some great views from the communal areas and a lovely swimming pool. The staff were helpful and the breakfast nice but basic. The surroundings are quite noisy so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Would highly recommend this place to stay!

Room exposed to noses from next doors, worst of all loud karaoke across the street way after midnight.?could not get a proper rest till 2am. Has to change hotels for next two nights but this manger was rude and refused refund for two nights.

Nice property but inconvenient for travellers with big luggage as the staircase a little high. Also it’s wooden property as such you can hear noice for people walking outside and room upstairs of you.

The Marian was a huge surprise, a small reception area…then upstairs you are greeted by a beautiful garden and an inviting pool, both immaculately cared for, and perfect for a relaxing holiday.
The room was gorgeous, my only issue being we found it difficult to get warm water in the shower.
Overall though, great staff, great location and a few great cats too!

Could hear the guests in the room next door who started playing music at 8am.

The hotel is an old building with nice architecture. Very strategic location with scenic surroundings. The room we stayed was spacious with old furniture. The beds were clean but the floor and toilet/bathroom doors were dusty. The reception staff were not very friendly. We had to carry our luggage through many stairs to find the room on our own but later we discovered that we could bring the car to a car park just behind our room without having to climb any stairs. The staff should tell us that when we checked in. We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and could not sleep well the second night as the fire alarm rang a couple of times after midnight.

Clean and cosy for a 2-star hotel. Staffs are friendly too. Overall I enjoyed my stay there! :) However the downsides are: 1. Too noisy as rooms are not soundproof. 2. Can improve in choices of breakfast. 3. Noticed that gate to carpark was often closed and locked up.

This place is a great, interesting place to stay, with comfortable, clean air-conditioned rooms and lovely sitting areas with airy windows to catch the breeze. There are a lot of steep stairs to get to the upper rooms which can be hard after a day in the jungle. There is also a lot of noise from the Chinese Karaoke every night across the road 6.30-12 and then 5am call to prayer then church bells and sometimes fireworks from the Chinese temple. Use ear plugs and get the staff to help you with your
bags and you'll love staying here, it's got a great pool, very funky and in a terrific central part of town.

The grounds is just such a relaxing place to be and the building & decoration takes you back a little to nostalgic times. Staff were very attentive & sort the small issues I was having with the room facility. The surrounding noise can be a little annoying at times but it's right in the middle of the city and it's no high rise building so it was expected. All in all a pleasent stay & for those who wants a little peace while able to explore the city I would recommend this place.

Lovely property, full of character and history. It’s central location is ideal for easy and quick access to the Kuching Waterfront and shops.
The only negative was the breakfast terrace doesn’t have a non-smoking area making it quite unpleasant at times.

Great location and lovely building with interesting past. The room was fine, although small. Breakfast was help-yourself and simple but nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

One of the coolest hotels we’ve ever stayed in! Loved all the touches and the character. Very Comfortable bed and nice big bathroom. Pool was really nice. The location is sooo great.. close to waterfront and good restaurants. The restaurant downstairs was really cool and we loved having a drink at the end of the day there. Hotel Breakfast needs some fresher options but good coffee. We loved this hotel and would highly recommend it.

A wonderful traditional building oozing character. A little rough around the edges, but then, if it wasnt itd be a lot more expensive - fantastic value for money!

The property has some lovely period features. The rooms are spacious, the pool great escapism from the heat, the staff are really pleasant and the gardens pretty. Breakfast is Ok. The huge let down is the unrelenting music that blasts out every night until at least 11pm at both weekends and weekends days. The music comes from the adjacent venues.
