“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.”
