This hotel may be a bit faded on the outside but there is nothing wrong with the inside. The staff are helpful and friendly and the hotel is clean. The breakfasts were good with a great choice. Try the in-house tour operator (Matahari) for any tours, their guides are good people. There are things wrong with the hotel but nothing... more

First impression upon arrival: the exterior was desperately in need of a makeover for a 5-star hotel, and she really pales in comparison with her neighbors. The interior was just ok. Didn't feel welcomed when we stepped in either. The service was terrible, staff was like sniggering us and also wasn't helpful at all. And btw, they charge more for... more

Holiday Inn Kuching was a great place to stay. The hotel is in a great location for everything (banks, money changers, travel places, shops, waterfront etc etc). The hotel itself is just like the photos on the website. Lobby, restaurant and pool are lovely (the bar is a little dark). Our King room with river view (which was cheaper than... more

We arrived at the riverside Holiday Inn, Kuching, with a group of ten fellow holidaymakers all participating in a 8-day tour of Borneo. We were booked into the Holiday Inn for one night prior to a trip to an Iban longhouse, and were booked in again two days later for one further night. Our flight from Singapore arrived in Kuching... more

The service was awful matched by sub-standard rooms. Knowing that our flight into Kuching was scheduled to arrive late (10pm), I called the hotel the day before to a) confirm our arrival and b) confirm that our room would have two beds. They advised me that yes, yes, everything was OK, but they would be charging me the first night.... more

All you need to know is that this is one grimey hotel. The carpets are stained and worn. The furniture is cheap and scratched. The bathrooms are pinkish brown with horribly loud plumbing. The lounge is a morgue. If I had to say one good thing, it would be that check out was fast and that's all I wanted after... more

I Have just returned from attending a conference in Kuching and stayed at this holiday Inn. The hotel is well situated for shops and restaurants and is just 10 minutes from the local airport. It has splendid views over the Sarawak river ( ask for a river view room). Rooms were found to be clean and serviced daily. Perhaps in... more

Great location right on the bank of the Sarawak River, the Cat monument (I kid you not!), and restaurants. Also, in the evening, there is a very pleasant stroll along the bank of the river to be had. However, the hotel is starting to look very tired now, and could do with refurbishment. The main bar area is a bit... more

We spent 3 nights and were very pleased with the room , the service and the meals. The hotel is now under a European manager which must have helped. The 5th floor is the "Executive Club" floor and has superior rooms and suites for little extra cost. This floor has its own reception desk and adjacent large lounge room with... more
