A beautiful historic oasis in central Kuching, with a lovely pool and easy access to the waterfront.
Pros:

This hotel is a true oasis in the heart of Kuching. It's within walking distance of the waterfront, numerous restaurants, and many of the city's main attractions. I would absolutely recommend staying here. The historic building is beautiful and full of character, the pool is a real treat, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay.

Cons:

One thing to be aware of is that there is a long flight of stairs leading from the reception area up to the hotel. Had a fellow guest not kindly helped me carry my suitcase all the way up, I don't think I would have managed on my own. For anyone with mobility issues or limited physical fitness, this could be quite challenging.

Mixed experience !
Pros:

It is a refurbished old school house with character. The swimming pool was a bonus.

Cons:

Minimal breakfast, just bread, coffee and bland cereal. It wouldn't cost much to add some fruit and eggs. No knives available to spread the butter on the toast.
Room was very basic and small, old net curtains were ripped, shower was cold.
Not enough sunbed cushions to match numbers of beds and they had ran out of pool towels.
We weren't highlighted to the existence of a vending machine to get a soft drink or beer.

Some staff weren't exactly welcoming in showing us to our small, box room after our 21 hour journey.

my stay was lovely except the issue mentioned above
Pros:

Location near the water and walkable areas. The space was interesting and liked my room

Cons:

People should be aware of multiple flights of stairs to get into the rooms. i arrived after 8 pm and there was no one available to help me haul my luggage up so many stairs

Estancia relajada, muy buena relación calidad - precio
Pros:

Ubicación excelente, la casa muy bonita, zona de la piscina perfecta para relajarse y quitarse el calor, zonas comunes muy espaciosas, desayuno sencillo de cortesía, y nos permitieron dejar las maletas en recepción cuando nos fuimos al parque Bako.

Cons:

Como la casa es antigua, las habitaciones no están muy insonorizadas.

Pros:

Los colchones son muy gruesos y cómodos
La piscina venía muy bien, porque el calor es muy húmedo y sudas mucho.
Te daban una toalla para la ducha y otra para la piscina
