Hilton Kuching

Waterfront Kuching|0.39km from Fort Margherita
My recent stay at the Hilton Hotel Kuching was marked by its exceptional location and some notable features. Firstly, the hotel's strategic location near the waterfront and within walking distance of various attractions, including eateries, souvenir shops, and the famous ”kek lapis Sarawak” outlets, greatly enhanced my stay. This convenience was a definite plus. Upon my arrival at 4:00 pm, I encountered a small setback as the hotel was fully booked, and no rooms were available for check-in. However, the courteous staff at the reception counter promptly addressed the issue. They kindly requested a short wait while a room was prepared for me, and I was offered a welcoming drink at the lobby bar during this time. The lobby itself exuded a pleasant ambiance with ample lighting. I finally checked in at around 5.30 pm. The room I eventually occupied was delightful, offering cleanliness and orderliness. It appeared to have been recently renovated, as there was a faint smell of paint. A suggestion for the hotel could be to introduce pleasant room fragrances to alleviate this issue. The room featured a picturesque view of the Sarawak River, enhancing my experience. The bathroom was also clean and satisfactory. The breakfast options at the hotel were extensive, though I noticed a repetition in the menu during my 4-day stay. On the final day of my stay, I opted to have breakfast at a nearby kopitiam due to this repetition. I hope the hotel can introduce more variety into their breakfast selections. However, there were a few downsides to my stay. The hotel was undergoing renovations, resulting in limited room availability. Additionally, the gym was on the smaller side, and there was no sauna during my stay due to the renovations. Furthermore, only two elevators were operational for guests, which occasionally caused delays. Despite these minor inconveniences, the Hilton Hotel Kuching offers a fantastic location, comfortable rooms, and a courteous staff. Special mentions go to reception staff members Petros and Ivan, who were friendly, and Liz, who was particularly helpful and warm during breakfast service.

The Waterfront Hotel Kuching
4.6/5215 Reviews
Waterfront
Very much centrally located. 3min walk to the Kuching Waterfront by the river. Lots of nearby shops to buy souvenirs, kek lapis and clothing. There is a mall at the lower ground so very easy and convenient. Booked premier room with river view but was given free upgrade to 2 bedroom suite facing the river. Superb! Comfy bad and spacious rooms though the fridge was not working and sink was quite blocked. Reported during check out. Downside is this unit is at level 8 so can be quite noisy at night with the mooncake festivals street kiosks and mosque nearby. The breakfast spread was very2 good with lots of choice. The negative part was the pastries were quite cold and hopefully the staff manning the noodle counter can be a bit more friendly Overall, worth for money, excellent location and recommended hotel in Kuching. Would stay here again in the future.
Astana Wing - Riverside Majestic Hotel
4.1/5170 Reviews
Waterfront
I opted for Riverside Majestic Astana Wing as my quarantine stay. From the moment I was picked up to the stay itself, the service has been great. I am currently still staying in my Deluxe King room on the 15th floor (the bed is super comfortable!). By all account, select the river view room. Each even the sky turns into a magical hue of oranges, the most beautiful sunset. A stay would not be great if not for the service. I would like to call out Amos Chong who checked me in upon arrival. His customer service is personable and with lots of attention to detail. He has the ability to make you feel like as if you're a returning VIP even if its just your first stay. Kudos also goes out to Ivy from the restaurant. Each morning she greets with such delight and would address me by name. She's definitely a ray of sunshine. I cant wait to meet her once I get out of quarantine. I definitely would be back and would recommend friends to stay here. For the two excellent staff, Amos and Ivy, I hope you get recognize for the 5 star hospitality you show.

Tune Hotel - Waterfront Kuching
3.8/5175 Reviews
Waterfront
Very strategic place.. Dekat dengan waterfront, tugu kucing dll, jalan kaki jek.. Cuma dr jalan raya ke entrance hotel kena naik tangga la, tu jek.. Pastu dlm tu dh ada lif.. Staff friendly, bilik bersih cuma bilik kte org tu kecik la, sesuai utk 2 org jek.. Senang nk cari mkn.. Kira hotel ni kat tgh2 la.. Yg x best nya parking susah, siapa cepat dia dpt.. Pastu kalau lambat keluar, dapat la surat cinta dari perbandaran.. Tapi x mahal pon byr, RM5 jek.. So better kalau korg yg bwk keta tu, keluar pg2 seblom kol 9am utk elak dpt surat cinta.. x pon beli la kupon parking siap2 kat pondok dia tu.. Kat waterfront ada jual tapi waktu bekerja jek bukak.. Overall recommended hotel & boleh repeat lg kat sini 👍
The Ranee Boutique Suites
4.3/555 Reviews
Waterfront
Great location. Access to a lot of places. Kuching Esplanade is just in front of the hotel. You can find nice food on foot. It is just that most shops close very early Friendly staff as they will smile whenever you walk past them. Choose the river view if you want to have a nice view like mine but this means that it will be noisy at times, especially at night. The only bad thing about my room is the toilet flashing system is not strong. Breakfast was ok but very simple. It will be good if they can provide buffet style.
Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching

Waterfront
Room is quite basic but water in the shower is very strong! Aircon was working well too. There is a smell from the fridge, seems like it has not been cleaned for some time. The lifts were quite old too but for the price, it’s expected. Overall, considered good stay.
