Very tired property

Terrible check in experience , huge suite but extremely tired , free standing bathtub which was not fixed to the floor . Dirty carpet , windows not closing very well or with screws. Tired hotel, definitely not 5 or 4 star property. Limited buffet , forget the croissants , impossible to eat …

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is connected to the shopping mall so it's really convenient. We really enjoyed the club lounge (staff there is really nice!) and they even provide the airport transfer for free which is a big plus. We didn't expect too much of the hotel but the hotel is much nicer than the photo on their website. We strongly recommend to stay the club room if your budget allowed.

The breakfast at the hotel was great

10/10 Exceptional

Love this hotel - friendly staff reflect Kuching itself. Amazing room service, access to shopping mall in hotel, great views, amazing breakfast buffet, I want to go back ! Only small complaint might be that the elevators are slow and get busy with shopping mall users, wedding and conference guests, etc - but don't let this small matter deter you from staying here !

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel! We stayed on the club floor - exquisite service. The breakfast was vast and delicious, the location was as central as you can get, and being attached to the mall was really cool!! I would definitely recommend this hotel !!!

Dream stay at the Waterfront Hotel

My stay at the Waterfront Hotel was the best hotel experience I have ever had. The length the staff will go to in order to meet your requests is simply amazing. The hotel has it's own app with which you can chat with the staff at all times - yes, even in the middle of the night. They are extremely helpful and courteous. The true stand out of this whole experience. If nothing else you should visit just for this. Luckily, there are also other things to thoroughly enjoy at the Waterfront. There's the big and varied breakfast buffet where cooks will prepare custom omelets and Sarawak laksa for you, every day has a new flavor of freshly made fruit smoothies and a barista carefully prepares your coffee. Then there's the pool area which has it's own bar. And let me tell you: the bartenders know what they're doing. Carefully crafted cocktails made to your exact specifications. You don't even have to ask for customization - they will make sure to ask you for it. If shopping is your thing the hotel has a direct access to the Merdeka shopping center which has lots of stores. I just used it for the ATM though. Rooms are kept very clean and you can pick when you want the room cleaned through a smart, little system located on the wall in the room. There's an option for privacy and one for cleaning. Cleaning was perfect. Also, I had a King River View room and the king size bed was amazing. If you are going to Borneo make sure to stay at the Waterfront Hotel!

What a fabulous hotel. We were on the club floor which definitely makes a difference as we had afternoon tea and cocktails included. The club lounge overlooks the water and is magnificent. Room was good but as we had a twin room did not have water views unfortunately. Staff were extremely helpful.
