Top Plaza Merdeka Hotel Reviews

Hilton Kuching

10/10 Excellent

"The room is spacious. Staff are polite and helpful. Breakfast is awsome."

Grand Margherita Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean. Maid service was prompt."

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"

The Marian Boutique Lodging House

8/10 Good

"Very conveniently located at the Kuching Waterfront. It can get noisy because of festivities at the nearby temple including drums and firecrackers. There are a lot of stairs especially if you stay on the second floor and no elevators. It’s a historic property so it lacks the amenities of a hotel. For short stays up to a week."

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."

The Ranee Boutique Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay at Ranee. Great location, amazing and friendly staff and beautiful rooms. Wish I could have stayed longer and would definitely stay again if I am lucky enough to return to Kuching. Thank you to all the staff at Ranee. Fantastic hotel in a fantastic city!"

Theatre Hotel

10/10 Excellent
