The Location, nearby to shops.. easy access to restaurant & shopping area, the view of our hotel room was outstanding.. overview of the new darul hana bridge was amazing to watch with the water fountain. just a few minutes away from the waterfront wheres there's a lot of varieties... The amazing historical place nearby also an add on... Love it so much

Aeyde Brunei

Good facilities and beautiful view at centre of Kuching town

Hunzz Malaysia

Excellent location and extremely comfortable & well appointed rooms

Geoffrey United Kingdom

The price is quite fair and affordable. If you come early before the check-in time, and your room is ready, you will be allowed to check-in earlier (this is a very good service). This hotel is located at a strategic location which is near to India Street, Darul Hana Bridge and it is connected to Plaza Merdeka Shopping Mall. Also, souvenir shops can be found near by. It also took us about 15 minutes to the Spring Shopping Mall. Last but not least, the hotel has it’s own cat known as Orange which i found very interesting 🙂.
