Telang Usan Hotel: Homey and quaint

While in Kuching we stayed at the Telang Usan Hotel. It's not as flashy as the higher-priced places, but it's a fantastic bargain for a good room. We had a nice size room with bed, dresser, small couch and chair. It also had a private bathroom. The decor is local Iban style, revealing the origin of the hotel's owner and operator. On the grounds there is a replica of a long house.

The only problem that we had was that there was a large group at the hotel when we were there. They seemed to slam doors all night long.

With in walking distance of all major attractions. Breakfast buffet included with lodging.

Sheraton Labuan: Room at the top

We had a room on the 8th floor, which was the top floor. From there we ha a view of the town and the harbor.
There was a small sign in the room that stated that everything in the room was for sale, at a price. I would say that was their way of saying that if you are tempted to take something that you will be charged for it at the going price. I am not sure how you would get the furniture in your suitcase.

Grand Dorsett former Sheraton: A jewel of a hotel

Labuan is an offshore tax haven you probably don't know much about. This is a significant advantage since keeping a low profile is an integral part of privacy, after all. There is not much happening in the banking business on week-ends so that is the time to come to Labuan. There are some terrific deals on hotels at that time. We stayed in a room that during the week would have cost over $200.
we paid $50. I loved it!

UPDATE: The former Sheraton Labuan is now the Grand Dorsett Labuan.
Hopefully it is still the same great hotel that it was under Sheraton ownership.

We had a balcony that overlooked the harbor,
there was a nice pool, and the staff was very helpful.
