I just want to comment about the food. The food quality is not very tasty, and the price of food is very expensive compare to the taste etc. I want to recommend the Pesto spaghetti to be removes from the menu. I want to suggest the hotel to add more new food menu like sarawak authentic food because the hotel Is a popular hotel amongst the tourist.

Apart from breakfast, nothing is impressive. Also it is close to the waterfront and occasionally the road is block for any events around hence unexpected traffic jam occurs especially over the weekend.

We liked the convenience to the Sarawak Waterfront. Lots of eateries and cafes. We were on the executive floor which includes a light breakfast and High Tea, for us it was more private and quiet with a wonderful view of the Sarawak River. The staff are all very attentive. What didn’t I like! You have a Nespresso coffee machine in the room but you only get four capsules on arrival. If you want some daily you have to pay for them. Never have I been to a hotel that includes a Nespresso machine and you don’t get daily espresso capsules. For me this was disappointing. The gym needs attention as the aircon doesn’t work well and some of the equipment needs updating.

I had a great stay experience here. A 15min drive from the airport RM38. The hotel is conjoined to the multi level mall/shopping complex complete with food court, supermarket and many shopping opportunities, also an infinity pool. At night I enjoyed the river light show from my room which went for about 20mins Friday & Saturday. Staff were amazing! Spoke fluent English & extremely helpful. Definitely recommend

Large hotel near the promenade and the pedestrian bridge over the river, which makes it extremely convenient for visiting sites on the opposite bank. Near museums, historic sites, boat tours. Adjacent to a shopping mall with a food court. Large, comfortable room. The river view from our room was absolutely stunning! Nice breakfast buffet with occasional live music performances. Highly recommend!

Pros: 1) The hotel is link to Plaza Merdeka Shopping Mall. (Go down the hotel lift it's at G Level or LG Level.) Plaza Merdeka has good food at Level 4, food court inclusive other restaurants. 2) It's a walking distance 3-5 mins to Hana Bridge. 3) You can look for souvenir at the nearby Jln Main Bazaar, also about 4-5 mins walk. It has a whole stretch of shops along that area. 4) Don't forget to purchase Kek Lapis at "Kek Lapis Mama Su. Shop " It's well recognize among the locals. 4) India Street is also nearby about 3-4 mins walk. Just behind the hotel. (You can purchase souvenirs at this area.) 5) The hotel using an advance system for the communication between hotel staff and hotel guest. Cons: 1) The digital button to activate the hotel room "Do not disturb, Bell, Make up room, was faulty. Unable to resolve by the Maintenance. (So I have to use the manual tagger indicating "Do not disturb."

The Waterfront is a fantastic hotel in a brilliant location. Our room (as many others) had a wonderful view across the river to the golden roofed Sarawak State Assembly building and the Astana Palace and entertained us with a fabulous water fountain and light show every evening. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. We loved the hotel and Kuching. The only thing we didn’t like was the toilet seat, which was not of a quality to match everything else about the hotel. Overall, we would certainly recommend it.

The pool is cold and covered, so there is no sundeck, we did not enjoy it. Drinks are not the best. Rooms are fine, but even we stayed on the executive floor with a great view, the aircon was noisy and vibrated the entire room, and it was just on or off, no settings worked. The bed was old and we didn't sleep to well. The breakfast buffet looked good, but the bread was stale and the cakes dry and the service crew looked to care about nothing. We would not recommend to stay here if you like to use the pool and bar and sleep well. Location is great in the middle of the Waterfront area, but can be noisy around weekends.
