Hilton Kuching

The room and service were both excellent. Breakfast and the pool experience were great, and the location is unbeatable – super convenient for getting around. My only minor quibble is that the decor feels a bit new, and the hotel carpet color is quite strange, making it look dirty. Hopefully, they'll consider changing it.

The hotel ambiance exudes old-money charm. During my stay, I even had the pleasure of seeing their Sultan King. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel's location is excellent, said to be in the best 'feng shui' spot, feeling grand and impressive. It directly faces the river, and in the evenings, it's very convenient to stroll along the riverside to Marina Bay Sands. The only issue was that the air conditioning wasn't cooling when I checked in, but it was resolved after I reported it. Later that night, I discovered the shower gel dispenser was nearly empty, and no product would come out. Then, the shower drain clogged, quickly flooding the entire bathroom during my quick shower. The hotel does show some signs of aging facilities, but everything else was great.

The breakfast was good, but the real highlight was the gym. It was absolutely incredible, easily the best hotel gym I've ever experienced.
