The hotel is connected to the shopping mall so it's really convenient. We really enjoyed the club lounge (staff there is really nice!) and they even provide the airport transfer for free which is a big plus. We didn't expect too much of the hotel but the hotel is much nicer than the photo on their website. We strongly recommend to stay the club room if your budget allowed.

Great location for the hotel at the waterfront and above the Merkada shopping centre. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed on the executive floor with all day access to the lounge. They offered a sufficient breakfast in the lounge but had limited choices for a vegetarian diet in the evening. It looked like a great menu for meat eaters though for hors d’oeuvres. Also, happy hour was restricted to wine and beer. Beautiful views from our room and lounge.

Love this hotel - friendly staff reflect Kuching itself. Amazing room service, access to shopping mall in hotel, great views, amazing breakfast buffet, I want to go back ! Only small complaint might be that the elevators are slow and get busy with shopping mall users, wedding and conference guests, etc - but don't let this small matter deter you from staying here !

The ease of check in was very convenient as we were able to check in before the stipulated time. In terms of location, you have the convenience of being located on the river front and doorstep of a mall, but also shielded from the noise and hustle and bustle should you not be a shopping fan! The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options. The Food and Beverages manager on the evening of Sat 16 Nov 24 was outstanding; He took the time to recommend and explain the local dishes. Jee is also worth mentioning as she went above and beyond in her service. Great place to stay - would come back again.

What a fabulous hotel. We were on the club floor which definitely makes a difference as we had afternoon tea and cocktails included. The club lounge overlooks the water and is magnificent. Room was good but as we had a twin room did not have water views unfortunately. Staff were extremely helpful.

The shared parking facility with the adjoining mall makes parking for hotel residents a great inconvenience especially during a time when there are events such a the Regatta going on last weekend.the hotel should have a separated parking facility just for hotel residents.
