I had an unforgettable stay at this amazing hotel in Kuching. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, and I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gesture of receiving a piece of birthday cake during my visit. The staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful, though at times a bit distant. The location is perfect, allowing easy access to various attractions and the beautiful riverfront. While the dining experience was delightful, I felt the breakfast could offer more variety. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
