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.

Consistently good
Pros:

My first trip back to Kuching and as usual I stayed at this most excellent hotel. Loved my room and breakfast, laksa was impeccable. Even after so many years the level of service here has remained high. I love the rooftop bar especially in the evenings. I also like the fact that it’s an eco-friendly hotel. Already looking forward to my next visit to this cozy hotel!

Clean and comfortable hotel near the waterfront, but t don’t forget your ear plugs!!!
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff were great and helped us check in when our flight got delayed, and we arrived in the early hours of the morning. The breakfast had a good selection, and was refilled regularly.

Cons:

The noise from the main road was a nightmare. We hardly got any sleep during our 2 night stay. Generally, the hotel is quite noisy, and you can hear other guests walking/talking. It would have been better if they provided ear plugs.

Enjoyable stay!
Pros:

Fantastic location near Chinatown Padungan surrounded by lots of local food, with a supermarket just minutes away.

Stayed 3 nights in an Executive Suite with an extra mattress request - it was a spacious room, very clean and well appointed with a large work desk and nice sofa. Bath had a deep tub that my young son thoroughly enjoyed after a long day of sightseeing. A leaky flush was fixed immediately by staff. Glad to see it was an eco friendly hotel with visible recycling efforts. Delicious breakfast with a mix of asian and continental… their Sarawak Laksa is a must-try!

Basement parking was available and would be quite useful if I had rented a car - we used Grab to most places including to the waterfront at very cheap rates.

If you like smaller, boutique-style hotels with great service, this hotel is highly recommended!
