This hotel is now known as the Grand Margherita, currently undergoing renovations, which did not impact on us at all.Comfortable room overlooking Sarawak River (very brown), close to the eateries along the riverbank and city around.The pool was a reasonable size, but viewed from the lobby, could be more private. We did a city tour which was great, and an... more

we had our late honeymoon here. booked here for 2 nights including the new year's eve. located right in the heart of Kuching's downtown where we can easily find Parkson Riverside plaza, Tun Jugah Plaza, Mc Donald's just on the other side of the road, and lots of cafes in the neighborhood. Kuching's tourism spots were just 15-20 minutes walk.... more

Formally the Holiday Inn, Grand Margherita is an excellent hotel, in the centre of Kuching. We stayed for ten days May/June this year and found the accommodation, whilst slightly faded, good value. The restaurants provided excellent food, with plenty of choice and staff who not only provided good service but were welcoming with nothing seeming too much trouble. This can... more

This hotel is now called the Grand Margherita. My son and I did not stay in this hotel but another one down the road. As soon as the hotel staffs at the door found out we were there to find out the shuttle schedule to Damai Beach, boy, their attitude had a 180 degree change. They rudely pointed us to... more

Stayed here for the weekend. Staff were always welcoming and friendly. The room was a decent size however ask for river view as I had street view and it can be quite noisy late at night. Basic amenities are provided however the showers leave someething to be desired. I had 3 barely lukewarm showers, more cold that warm and water... more

Location is great, walking distance to Sarawak Plaza (next to the hotel), Tun Junga and Riveside Majestic is opposite the hotel, a great open air food court, temples, museums (15 mins walk) and it's by the Sarawk... more

This hotel is renamed Grand Margherita Hotel. All the previous positive reviews i read were true! We stayed for 3 nights in a room with 2 queen-sized beds. Very clean and comfortable, and a nice view of the Sarawak river. Staff were helpful, smiley. We really enjoyed the fantastic breakfast buffet each morning. One of the best! There's a small... more

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
