Pros:

Very clean hotel at a reasonable price for a location that was not too far from the river (we walked everywhere we wanted to from here). So as long as you don't mind not being right by the river it is great.

We chose this property after a less satisfactory experience elsewhere.

Breakfast was good for the inclusive price.

Pros:

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

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.
