Borneo, Asia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Convenient location in the heart of the city. Within walking distance to the Kuching Waterfront and the usual tourist spots. Hotel staff are generally helpful and friendly. 1 receptionist who weren't so forthcoming with making recommendations, appears a bit clueless and lacking in initiative when I asked what is there to see within walking distance around the hotel. 1 restaurant staff also failed to inform me that an item on the menu was not available and did so only after I have waited nearly 30mins for my food. I think these 2 instances are where further customer training could be enhanced further."

"Terrific View Super clean and covetable . Short Grab ride to town ."

"Spacious clean rooms. Friendly staff. Incredible food. Excellent location- walking distance to the food markets, Sunday markets, the ferry port and malls. Special mention again to all staff there- extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great stay, thank you!"

"Staff & Hotel Management are super friendly and accommodating. "

"I stayed to explore the city. The staff had great recommendations and the spa was wonderful. The evening staff was extremely helpful in getting me a taxi to the airport. All the staff was great, but Fatin went above and beyond. "

"The Shangti-La is just a step up from other hotels. Yes, it's big and busy but the staff go out of their way to really spoil you. I'm vegan and they bent over backwards to ensure I had a great breakfast, sent soy milk to my room tweaked dishes so I ate well. And the location - oh my. We stayed in a garden room and could walk straight out looking at the sea. Room had a shower and a bath, was well stocked. Water in the fridge every day. Their Spa was great too. I can't think of anything bad about the place. We just didn't want to leave. "

"Beautiful hotel! Clean, modern, great service. Highly recommend!"

"Clean, comfortable rooms. Great location. Value for money."

"Good hotel and friendly staff"
