    clean room
    excellent breakfast
    great location
    parking issue

    Great location, right next to the waterfront and connected to Plaza Merdeka shopping mall. I booked the Premier Family (City View) room, which was clean and offered fantastic views of the Borneo Cultural Museum. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet with a good variety of halal options, including laksa sarawak and an egg station. Staff were attentive and rectified a minor mishap regarding breakfast reservations professionally. parking was a challenge due to sharing spaces with mall visitors, forcing me to park far from the lobby. Despite this, the convenience of nearby attractions and eateries made our stay delightful.

    helpful staff
    unpleasant odor

    The location is exceptional, providing easy access to the

    Plaza Merdeka shopping mall and local eateries. The staff were highly accommodating, particularly Ryan, who rectified our room issue. The indoor pool, though small, is pleasant, but I found some lingering odors in the initial room we were given.

    perfect location
    friendly staff
    great access
    unreliable wi-fi
    limited dining options

    During my stay at The Waterfront Hotel Kuching, I found the location absolutely perfect for exploring the city. It is situated next to a shopping mall, offering great access to shops and local eateries, and only a short walk from the beautiful waterfront. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any queries and ensuring a pleasant atmosphere throughout my visit.

    The Wi-Fi was quite unreliable.

    stunning river view
    outstanding breakfast
    unbeatable location
    slow check-in

    The Waterfront boasts a stunning view of the Sarawak River. Breakfast was a standout, featuring the best Sarawak Laksa in the area, along with a great selection of local and Western dishes served in a spacious dining area. The location is simply unbeatable, right next to a shopping mall and a stone's throw from popular attractions like the waterfront and Carpenter Street.

    Slow check-in process.

    Smart choice for taking strolls in Kuching with great value. The staff called a ride share for us since our app didn't work. Check that all amenities are functional before unpacking.

    noise disturbance
    clean environment

    The river view was stunning and the location superb, perfect for exploring local attractions. Friendly staff maintained a clean environment, enhancing the overall experience. the windows let in quite a bit of noise from the street, which could disrupt sleep at times.
