The Waterfront Hotel Kuching

The location was great: in walking distance to tons of restaurants, several sights, the river, and a direct connection to the shopping mall. Loved the breakfast, especially the fresh juice selection. Friendly staff. The view to the river from the pool area (and the rooms facing the river, if you paid for those).

We had a city view king suite which had a large bedroom and very spacious bathroom. The sitting room was a bit cell-like with a grey sofa and two armchairs arranged in front of a huge TV screen, with no windows. We used it as a dressing room. Breakfast buffet had wide range of Asian choices. Staff were friendly, especially Lucy in the car park. Overall. It was good value for money and in an excellent location. A bit more care and attention to cleaning (see below) would make it an unbeatable choice in Kuching.

Breakfast is absolutely amazing. Best food I've experienced at any hotel in my life. By itself a reason to return. Location cannot be beat. But try to request a room with a view. We stayed three times and the quality of the view varied from incredible, experience-changing view of the river and surroundings to a view of a wall. First 2 night stay we were upgraded for free to a suite and that really made our trip (but next two stays got less and then less good rooms; oh well).

Our room had an amazing view of the river and iconic state assembly building. The room was spacious, with a large bathroom and comfy bed. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The hotel is located on top of a shopping mall, which is very convenient and means there are plenty of options for food if you don't want to venture too far from the hotel. The pool has a great view of the river, and there is a well-stocked bar which also serves food.

Superb breakfast for any taste, western , Asian , Malaysian. Excellent and willing staff who were both helpful and unobtrusive. Perfect location for seeing the old central area of the city and waterfront , museums , Chinatown street and India street all right there . Having the hotel attached to a mall greatly eased being there during rainy season, and would be welcome anytime. We were there during Ramadan, so restaurant was not busy during the day, the huge range of breakfast buffet options were still well presented and changed daily. Our room was large, well appointed, definitely recommended paying extra for the river view, which was appealing day and night, even during rainstorms.
