Top Plaza Merdeka Hotel Reviews

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."
