I stayed at this hotel as my favourite hotel was fully booked and there was not much choice left due to a golf tournament as well as a government exhibition taking place at the same time. I could have moved out after 3 nights but extended for my entire 10 day stay in Kuching. However, I moved out of my... more

Recently spent 3 nights at this hotel on business with some clients and found the hotel overall very pleasant and excellent value for money.It is hard to find a hotel of a 5* for less than USD100 anywhere in the world. We stayed in deluxe rooms which were spacious and had internet,was clean and strong shower(A MUST FOR ME). Dined... more

Strategic location with plenty of taxi around. Chinatown is just nearby, plenty of churches and muzeums around, also within walking distance from Rajang River where some activities exist. No issues with the cleanliness. Staff was polite and friendly. Had a free upgrade to a 2 room apt, nice furnitures. Also have a nice and cosy Italian restaurant, must try. Whether... more

The Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites looks nice from outside, but the rooms are definately showing their age. The hotel is 10 years old, and there are some signs of this in the rooms, though to be fair the rooms are comfortable, and I was in a 2-bedroom suite which was huge. My bed was comfortable, the hot water and... more

I've stayed in this hotel everytime I visit Kuching (which is 3 or 4 time per year for the past 4 years). The rooms I've been are big (they always upgraded me to deluxe) and has nice views. You'll need a bit of a walk to reach the famous Waterfront but it's not sweat (10 to 15 mins). The State... more

This hotel was recommended to us by friends with young children. We booked it because they had cheap 2 bedroom suites, which suited our purposes. The suite was very roomy and had a gorgeous view of the city, Kuching RIver with the Astana on the other side. It was quite ropey round the edges though, with many stains, tears, broken... more

Stayed there from 21st to the 26th of December. Found it more than satisfactory.Staff were attentive and courteous, the breakfast spread was decent and most of all the location is great. The other hotels (Hilton,Crowne Plaza) are all located smack in the middle of noisy Kuching town centre.This one however is in front of a quiet grassy field about 5... more

We stayed 4 nights at the hotel in early April. A very well location and high quality city hotel. Only about 5 minutes walk from China Town, the river front and local markets. My only observation is that the room, whilst very attractive, was small. The bathroom was also compact and only had a shower. The 8th floor pool area... more
