    I thought the bathroom could use regular cleaning. There were green algae-looking stuff on the walls of the toilet/bathroom. So defs wear slippers to shower!

    I liked that the room was very clean because we just needed a place to sleep after walking around all day and they DELIVERED. There's a very good food court near the place. Definitely try the Kuching laksa at Lau Ya Keng food court! AND THE FRONT DESK GUY was so FRIENDLY! He let us check-in late (midnight) due to our delayed flight -- if it happens to you, just let them know early.

    My stay was amazing! The room was super cozy, clean, and just perfect. The bathroom was clean too! Plus, the hotel is right in the heart of the city, just steps away from the beautiful Kuching Waterfront. Couldn't have asked for a better spot! I’ll definitely be staying here again

    There is not a lift, but the staff insisted on carrying my bags up for me.

    The location in Chinatown is the best. Just one block from the wonderful riverfront. Several excellent Chinese restaurants within just a few paces. Three good bars 150 meters away and perhaps the best traditional Malay food restaurant in Sarawak at 200 meters. I didn’t notice that the bathrooms were shared but it wasn’t a hardship at all. With only five rooms on the floor and only one other than mine occupied it was not in the least an issue. The toilets were clean and the shower warm. What more do you need?

    There is no curtain for the bed, so no privacy, Electrical outlets are placed a bit too high, The placement number of the lockers are a bit confusing, it should be placed besides the bed. For example, E & F, the lockers are not beside the bed, but across the bed. And because of that, I mistook the C bed as my bed, cause lockers E and F are beside bed C & D.

    Location very close to anywhere There is very big locker to place anything important,

    There was only one bathroom with a working shower. The windows of the toilets could not be properly shut and they were overlooking the streets; you would have to trust that nobody would peep through from afar when you’re pooping.

    The place is within a walking distance to Plaza Merdeka Mall and the Kuching waterfront. It is also near the pick-up spots for all bus companies that can take us to Bako, Semenggoh, Kubah, Santubong and other main attractions. The staff is also super friendly and kind. They let me check in early and they also let me keep my bags behind the counter until I was ready to leave for my 19:30 flight. Will absolutely return when I visit Kuching next time!

    The Hornbills Nest is near the Kuching Water Front. The mosque and restaurants are nearby. The Merdeka Plaza is 5 minutes walking distance.

    There were no dental kits/shampo in the room. The floor is made of wood so making noise if someone is walking outside.

    Great location with the best Food restaurants nearby. The owner is very nice.
