    There have been some reviews mentioning the thin walls. This I feel is not an issue of the owner but more about how other guests respect each other. If people are going to chat until 2 am or cook after midnight then that is not the fault of the accommodation. There are signs in the reception asking for guests to acknowledge and appreciate quiet periods for other guests. We were disturbed by other guests during these quiet periods but this wasn't too detrimental to our sleep.

    The location is on Upper China Street which is a quiet side street between Carpenter Street and Jalan Wawasan. Brilliant location to go and explore all of Kuching Old Town, the waterfront and the North bank area. Carpenter Street has many restaurants to cater for all tastes. The kitchen facility at the accommodation is very good and has a fridge freezer, microwave, hot plate, kettle and toasters with all cooking utensils. Self cooking is easily achieved. The room we had was a Queen double and was a very good size with a comfortable bed. Very clean with fresh linen and towels. There wasn't much noise coming from the street which was a blessing and there is a wonderful wall art just outside our window which is amazing. There are 3 floors and each has a shower and toilet which are very clean. The communal seating areas (1 per floor) are a welcome break from staying in the room. The host was very accommodating to our needs and listened to our requests which were fulfilled. We have enjoyed our stay here especially as we can walk out and be in the centre of Old Kuching within 2 minutes. Thoroughly recommended.

    I am staying for 5 days. I wish they had a washing machine and clothes drying rack. The light inside the room too dark, Please upgrade. I would like to stay here again on my next trip to Kuching.

    Very near to the city center and waterfront.

    Conveniently located hostel, which was pleasant to stay in
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The walls are thin and the floors creaky. It could be pretty bad if inconsiderate people were staying. There is a cleaner visiting every day and the hostel is kept looking tidy and respectable, however it could use some deep cleaning here and there and there is a smell coming from the drains that I don't like.

    I enjoyed my stay. Initially I was given a room that didn't suit me, but a switch was arranged and I was very happy with the new room. There is a kitchen - which is nice to have. Some guests were cooking meals, though there are no dinner plates there. Air con worked well in my room and there was a good shelving unit to put things on and a power plug beside the bed. Wifi was strong.

    There are no staff members on site to receive guests, and areas and check-in procedures weren't well-signposted. We needed to do some searching to figure out where things are. Make sure you message the host about check-in instructions before you arrive.

    AMAZING location. Just a stone's throw away from Carpenter Street and under 10 minutes of walking to most tourist attractions in the city. The common areas were well-maintained and clean at all times. Someone came in every morning to clean the toilets and showers and clear the bins. They have decent shampoo and soap, so if you forget to bring any you'll be fine! The WiFi was fast and stable. Something I have to highlight was the quality of the host's service! She responded to my questions promptly throughout my stay, and was well-prepared to help me navigate the stressful situation of being locked out of my room, despite not being on site.

    I took the smallest, cheapest room so that is to be expected but the bed was a little bit small and there was no window in the room. It is still really worth the price!

    Perfect location, great facilities, I really liked the atmosphere in the building.

    The location is great. You can use the kitchen (which is a big plus if you want saving money, but the food in Kuching is good that we never used it😆)and in the toilets you always find toilet paper, shampoo and body shower. The lady that is cleaning in the morning is super nice. Very good value for money
