The location was very strategic - very near to Kuching waterfront, eateries and souvenir shopping places. Breakfast was simple but very good. Very nice fresh English bread and indeed good black coffee which is free flow. The room is very clean, neat, and well-designed, which makes me feel at home and the bathroom is contemporary, spacious and comfortable.

The distance from check in counter was rather far from the rooms and I had to hike up several staircases. Not very convenient if the visitor brings large and heavy trolley luggage. Otherwise, this would not be an issue for light travelers. Perhaps the management could consider to provide a more convenient access to the rooms from the check in counter.

I like the concept of this stay, the concept is to die for and I love the deco n interior of it. This colonial-like building has three levels and there are common place at 2nd & 3rd level (you can get the view of Sarawak DUN building). Surely will stay here again.

I wasn't clear with the check-in procedure as the front counter and the designated parking for the stay (need to enter via St Mary church) are quite far. Maybe need to put on notice for that so the future guests wouldn't get confused.

We stayed in the ground floor wing, at the back of the property which is raised above the pool. The hotel is on a hill, access is easier from the car park. This may be an issue if you have restricted mobility. The room was spacious, clean with a large bathroom. Daily room service replenished water etc. The breakfast is minimal - toast, cereal, coffee, tea, juice. If you want something more substantial there are cafés etc nearby, including The Granary which is within the grounds which is excellent. The pool is not large, about 1.2m deep and not notably chlorinated. The staff are really friendly and the house keeping worked around our erratic hours. We extended our stay directly with the hotel as their website was cheaper - confirm prices before you book as they initially tried to charge us more than the website price. This may have been a language issue.

There is a bar nearby that plays quite loud into the early hours. I've seen David Guetta live and I think he'd be impressed with the level of bass achieved. The staff must use sign language. My wife uses earbuds anyway, so she wasn't affected.

perfect location, historical building, beautiful sitting areas where you can appreciate the natural surroundings, views and the ambience of the sitting

the first floor rooms are not sound proof so all the footsteps, bags being moved around etc from the above floor travel through the ceiling almost as if thee people were in your room. if people are in the communal sitting area talking, you can hear it all loud and clear. a small price to pay for the opportunity to stay somewhere so historically beautiful though.

Great location - walking distance to many eateries and the river bank, nice ambience of the hotel, old building yet well-maintained, great swimming pool

The ceiling is super thin, there was a family living upstairs and it was super noisy - the footsteps, the speaking noise, pulling of chairs

The place was very unique. I loved the old building, the open design, the great view of the city, and the close access to great sites. I also enjoyed the pool and the lovely landscaping around the hotel. The cost was very affordable.

I thought the rooms and conditions were to be expected given the budget price. One thing I think could change would be the mosquito situation. The open design will mean mosquitos, but I think there could be some efforts to have screens on any entries into the actual rooms. This will limit the number of mosquitos coming in.

Lovely and close to the river and central Kuching. Easy access to a wide range of restaurants, cafes and museums. Rooms basic but clean. The pool was easy to access and clean. Cereal toast jam and tea/coffee was handy in the mornings but fairly basic. Hotel had a welcoming atmosphere and had an interesting history of different uses over the years, which added to its interesting character

A few steps to climb up to the rooms could trouble some people, although we were fine with this.

The hotel has a unique charme and I loved the interior with all the collected vintage items. The pool is very nice, surrounded by green palm trees. The location is fabulous as it‘s on top of a little hill so you enjoy a nice view without staying in one if those massive waterfront hotels. Staff was super friendly and helpful at all times.

Just be aware that it is an old building, so the isolution is not that good. Therefor it is a bit noisy as you can hear your neighbours in the surrounding rooms. There are also a few bars across the street that play loud music in the evenings. However if you ask for a quiet rooms (f.e. by the pool) it is a very lovely hotel and a authentic stay!!

I stayed in 2 different rooms here. This rating is for the bottom room with views of pool. It was much quieter than the smaller rooms which ar on 1st and 2nd floor and have much more noise from the streets and from people above you or outside the rooms.

There are really a lot of stairs to get to get from reception to the actual accomodation and then more to the rooms carrying suitcases as there is no other way.

Very nice Location, in the near of the temple, bars, restaurants, the bus station, the waterfront. We liked the garden area and the pool, the great view and the spacious bathroom with a huge window. We arrived very early and were very tired, but they gave us an early check in. That was very nice. Thank you!

It‘s very noisy, school kids, temple activities, even inside the house you can hear every spoken word from your neighbours. We didn‘t care, but for some people it might be important.
