Pros:

Kiva paikka ja hyvä, iloinen henkilökunta. Sijainti myös hyvä. Kattobaari aivan mahtava ja hyvät ruoat. Ainoa miinus tuli liian kovasta sängystä.

Cons:

Liian kova sänky.

Nice hotel
Pros:

The hotel is located within the historical core of Kuching, walkable distance from all the main attractions. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.
Breakfast was good enough with basic protein options, e.g. scrambled eggs, beans etc.

Cons:

I'm a sensitive sleeper and the rooms with windows overlooking the city turned out to be a bad option. I had to downgrade to a windowless room in the center of the building to get a good night's sleep.
Bring your earplugs if you are sensitive to city noises at night. The motorcycles are particularly loud.

Lovely stay for four nights at the Lime Tree
Pros:

It was a bright clean space with super friendly staff and a concern for eco friendliness which is rare in the area. It was great! The breakfast was wonderful with fruit and different options each day.

Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück variierte täglich und war sehr lecker. Das Zimmer war sauber und geräumig. Die Lage war zwar nicht zentral, aber in wenigen Gehminuten gab es zahlreiche Essensgelegenheiten und auch die Waterfront konnte nach einem kurzen Spaziergang erreicht werden. Auf der tollen Dachterrasse haben wir einige Abende ausklingen lassen. Uns hat es hier sehr gefallen.

Cons:

Die Schalldämmung der Fenster könnte verbessert werden. Wir haben mit Oropax schlafen können.

4 day Borneo excursion
Pros:

Great little boutique hotel with a really helpful and informed staff and great location. Everything was clean. The breakfasts were varied during my 4 day stay and it had a nice mix of western and asian selections. The rooftop bar was great with chill music and great service and drinks. I will definitely stay there again. Great bang for the buck. No complaints at all.
