"Having the hotel attached to a mall greatly eased being there during rainy season, and would be welcome anytime."
"The breakfast is amazing (and we have travelled to many places to compare) - it has excellent spacious seating, modern and local decor."
"At night I enjoyed the river light show from my room which went for about 20mins Friday & Saturday."

“In Kuching, this hotel stands out for its strategic location, placing guests steps away from key attractions and a diverse culinary scene; the family-friendly accommodations, including spacious rooms and a worthwhile breakfast buffet, cater well to groups. However, the hotel's greatest strength lies in its guest services, particularly the commendable staff who ensure a pleasant stay even when initial hiccups occur. I think this makes it a reliable choice.”

excellent experience
city viewfresh fruitroom sizehot water
the breakfast choices offered were amazing, especially the fresh fruit juices. the room and bathroom sizes were the best, so much space. i had no problems with hot water for showers. It was available 24/7 with excellent water pressure.
The pool bar opening time was a bit late. It only opened at 4pm.
