 | Kuching Holiday Inn Kuching Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 12 |  |
We arrived on a building site, there upgrading the riverside which had a massive impact on the hotel, and worst of all the pool was closed. There was an upside because they upgraded us to a suite of rooms which was very nice. It was what you would expect of a Hilton although clearly not at the top end of that particular franchise. My only real grip were the reception staff who although efficient didn't exude and warmth at all. This is worthy of note becuase for the level of service I was used to in KK I was taken by suprise. Also they were in marked contrast to the concierge who couldn't do enough for me and always made the effort to remember my family name. Not bad for a malay given my scottish surname.
It's central, there are plenty of places to eat and the concierge service is first rate. Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: about average

The Holiday Inn Kuching says it is the ONLY hotel in Kuching to be really riverside- and yes, the only thing that seperates the hotel from the riverside are the raillings- giving this hotel an unrivalled locality in Kuching. This is one of the oldest hotels in Kuching, even its newest wing is 19 years old. Its lobby is old and faded, and is in need of a major facelift- and the manual sliding doors seperating the lobby from the pool don't add much to the ambience of the lobby. There are some native crafts which are commendable in the lobby area, as well as the usual marbled floors and teak- what stands out is the service which is superb. 4 stars, awarded by Tourism Malaysia, proudly shine at the reception.
In the old wing, the lift lobby is in need of refurbishment (2001) - the carpets are in need of change as they were already fading and peeling at ends. However, once you reach your room door- this hotel doesn't seem old at all. The rooms have been newly refurbished, and could easily match those of entry level 5 star hotels. Nicely furnished, with rattan furniture, these rooms exude a warm feeling of comfort and luxury. The bathroom is also commendable, white marble around, albeit on the small side (probably due to room category). Touch panel by the bedside means no more hanging "Do Not Disturb" signs on the doors, or "Please Clean My Room".
As mentioned earlier, the hotel has a swimming pool, overlooking the river, gymnasium and sauna. An executive club floor is also available, with standard club facilities like a lounge, express check in and out and a private breakfast venue, as well as evening cocktails.
There are 3 F&B choices in this hotel- The Serapi where breakfast is served daily, Meisan, a Chinese Restaurant and a basement bar, Tribes.
All in all, this hotel offers good value for money, rooms and service of high standard,in addition to its prime location, although certain public areas are in need of upgrade.
The only hotel where you are right beside the river, nice rooms and great service.

A hotel that you will not miss because it is strategically located right in front of the cat statue at a roundabout. The interior or lobby is not very spacious but it exudes a warm local charm with wooden decor.
There's a link bridge connecting this hotel to Sarawak Plaza. Other shopping malls like Riverside Complex and Tun Jugah Mall are just a stone throw away. Fast food outlets like McDonald's and Pizza Hut are in the vicinity.
