Relaxing and enjoyable
Pros:

1. breakfast was okay, it covers the basic menu and meal, not much choices but it was value for money. For the price you were paying, the breakfast was acceptable, just dont get your hopes to high.
2. the location was okay if you are having cars to navigate around town, has ample parking for the hotel guest.
3. overall, we felt rested throughout our trip to Kuching and would love to come back again in the future.

Cons:

1. the pillows could have been better if it's a bit firm and not too soft. i like to sleep with a medium-firm pillow
2. you need to request for an indoor slipper if you need one
3. you have to be careful when coming out from the shower as the toilet floor is slippery

Toplage, trotzdem nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage ist top, am Rande von Chinatown. 6-7 Gehminuten zum ÖV, in 15 min in Marina Bay. Auch die Hotelausstattung (Kühlschrank, Teekocher... sehr bequemes Bett, funktionierende Dusche) ist ok.

Cons:

Die Rezeption war selten besetzt und wenn, dann wenig freundlich, völlig unpersönlich. Zudem hatte mein Zimmer kein Fenster (! Das heisst, zuerst aus dem Hotel, bevor man weiss, ob's regnet, .. wie man sich anziehen muss ; o(( Ich habe 130 € bezahlt, es war damit mit Abstand das Teuerste meiner langen Asien-Reise. (Singapur-Standard?? In andern habe ich für einen Viertel ein viel besseres Hotel erhalten!!) Preisleistung schlecht! Doch: das Hotel war ausgebucht! Ich lese viele ähnliche Kritiken. Das Hotel wird sich nicht ändern, leider! Fazit: zum Übernachten - wegen der guten Lage - ok, zum Wohlfühlen nicht!! Keine Empfehlung !

Prijs kwaliteit top 👍🏻
Pros:

Prijs kwaliteit is dit een top hotel. Alles is zeer proper goed bed en het ontbijt vonden wij ook lekker. De ligging is op wandel afstand van de rivier. En nabij het hotel zijn ook restaurantjes
Wij zouden zeker terug komen.

Cons:

Niets
