Top Plaza Merdeka Hotel Reviews

Kuching Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. Room not the largest but cost low. Staff fantastic local knowledge. Food option around waterftont lodg multiply. Bazar shops at the front door. Room was clean, AC and quiet for fantastic sleep"

The Marian Boutique Lodging House

8/10 Good

"Perfectly functional hotel. Spacious, clean room. Friendly staff in lobby and at restaurant. The room we booked had one bed in a loft, which we didn’t want to deal with, so they changed the room no problem! Only minor issues are that they could use a shelf in the bathroom, as there is no place to put toiletries. And only one (of three) beds is near an outlet/charger."

Voco Kuching by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Magnificent Hotel. The best Holiday brand has to offer in my opinion. This location was excellent and wonderful staff."

Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching

8/10 Good

"A good property that has seen better times. The towels were few and a bit threadbare. The hanger clips broken and otherwise a bit tired. However, they happily checked out bags before and after check in/out. The location is good on the waterfront close to the sights. There were a few small flying insects, but i doubt that you can escape then as they are everywhere in the evening."

Grand Margherita Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Was probably beautiful in the past but could definitely use maintenance and a deep cleaning."

Legacy Hill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was in Kuching for business and the hotel was perfect for its price. Very nice retro concept and room. Cozy cafe downstairs and several famous restaurants within 5 mins walk. Walkable to the city centre if you want to see the sights. Quiet rooms."

The Waterfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very great location, friendly staff and nice rooms. Breakfast buffet was very good too"

Astana Wing - Riverside Majestic Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basement parking is stink. Breakfast was okay & can be improved. The pool needs to be maintained and service"

Pullman Kuching

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pullman Kuching. The staff were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. From the reception counter to the front entrance, the staff consistently greeted us with warm smiles, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. We also appreciated the room upgrade. The upgraded room was spacious, comfortable, and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only minor drawback was that some noise from the ongoing renovation works could occasionally be heard. Overall, we had a very pleasant and memorable stay at Pullman Kuching, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality shown by the staff."
