Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. Carpenter street, the waterfront, where nightly light shows (approx 15mins) are held and various historical buildings and sites are right at the doorstep of the hotel or within walking distance. There is also an excellent mall (Plaza Merdeka) is connected to the hotel which is a plus. Great service from all staff, thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable

Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching is a comfortable and conveniently located hotel in the heart of Kuching city, making it a good choice for both tourists and business travelers. Its main advantage is its strategic location near the Sarawak River and Kuching Waterfront, allowing guests to easily walk to popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. The hotel has a modern and clean design, with a welcoming lobby and generally friendly staff who provide smooth check-in and helpful service throughout the stay.
The rooms are well-maintained, simple, and comfortable, with essential amenities such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and clean bathrooms. Some rooms offer nice views of the city or river, especially at night, which adds to the overall experience. Housekeeping is consistent, and the hotel maintains good cleanliness standards. While the breakfast selection is decent, it is not very extensive, but it is still sufficient for most guests.
Overall, Imperial Riverbank Hotel Kuching offers good value for money due to its location, cleanliness, and comfort. It may not be a luxury hotel, but it provides a pleasant and practical stay for visitors who want easy access to Kuching’s main attractions.

While the room wasn't huge, it had all the essential amenities and the location was excellent. There were plenty of dining options nearby, making it super convenient for both getting around and eating out. The only downside was the inconsistent hot water supply; it wasn't hot enough and quickly turned cold, which really impacted my shower experience. I hope they can improve their hot water system.
The most noteworthy feature of this hotel is the incredibly spacious rooms. After researching all the available options in Bintulu, I can confidently say that Goldenbay Hotel offers the best value for money. I would certainly choose to stay here again on my next visit to the area.
The amenities were another high point of the trip. It was a lucky coincidence that a comb was provided, as I had forgotten to pack one. Furthermore, I was impressed by the quality of the hair and body shampoos. It is rare for me to enjoy hotel-provided toiletries, but these left me feeling truly clean and lathered up well. To top it off, the rooftop offers a gorgeous view, especially during sunset.
However, there were a few drawbacks during my stay. I booked two rooms; while my room was fine, the second room had significant lighting issues. Although the reception sent a technician to help, they only managed to fix one light. Even after the repair, that room remained much dimmer than mine. Additionally, the bidet in my own bathroom was leaking. It felt a bit ironic to see multiple signs encouraging guests to save water and use the bidet instead of paper when the fixture itself wasn't working properly.
Lastly, the breakfast was a bit of a letdown. The selection was quite limited, and the taste was only average. If I return to this hotel in the future, I would likely book a room-only rate and find breakfast elsewhere.

Our room had a river view overlooking the pool. We didn't opt for breakfast as there are plenty of eateries nearby. It's just a 5-minute walk to the Sheraton for dim sum, at prices comparable to Maxim's. The hotel is conveniently located near the city center; a 15-minute riverside stroll takes you to a large shopping mall with a supermarket. Plus, there's a local seafood stall called Top Pot right next to the Sheraton.

The hotel's location is great, right next to a park, and you can enjoy the view across the river while having breakfast. The bed was large and the room was spacious. There was a slight odor when I first entered the room, possibly from the riverside sewer, but my nose is quite sensitive. After lighting an air freshener, it was generally fine. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. The hotel breakfast was also good and quite extensive, and the lobby offered dinner options, which was convenient. The front desk staff were very polite.
The hotel offered great value for money, probably because it wasn't peak season. Our room faced west, which meant we got to see beautiful sunsets and take some fantastic photos, though it did get a bit too hot. Luckily, the air conditioning was powerful, otherwise, sleeping at night would have been impossible. The bathroom design wasn't ideal; it was too dark and cramped, definitely something that needs improvement. On the other hand, breakfast was excellent, really fantastic.

The view was absolutely spot on - definitely the highlight of the stay. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the Kuching Waterfront, making it very convenient to explore nearby attractions, cafes, and local spots. Everything was within easy reach, and the area has a really nice, relaxing vibe, especially in the evening.
Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The convenience of being able to walk around without needing transport made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in a strategic location with a great view.

The hotel's location is excellent. Right across the street is the riverside park, making it very convenient to walk to Rainbow Bridge. The Parliament House on the opposite side is just a ten-minute walk away. In the evening, strolling along the Sarawak River on the opposite bank is also lovely. Just a heads-up: if you're returning to this side, make sure you get back before the Parliament House gate closes at 7 PM. We didn't notice the sign and ended up having to take a small ferry back. There are plenty of places to eat nearby. Except for the Sarawak Cultural Village and the Cat Museum, which require a taxi, all other attractions are within walking distance. Many museums are also worth visiting. There's a great Indian restaurant nearby that gets busy at lunchtime. The hotel's service and facilities are top-notch, especially the swimming pool, which has a fantastic ambiance. They even provide a complimentary fruit platter. Kuching is a city with a rich cultural heritage and is definitely worth a visit.
It is a very new hotel where some of their facilities are not ready yet, so can’t comment on that. Location is good as it is attached together with Viva City Mall. You can enter mall or access to the restaurants located outside the mall without problem as it has roof covered walkway. 7 eleven is located just downstairs of the hotel. The hotel has designated car parking for hotel guests which is a bonus as you don’t need to share car parking with the mall visitors, which could be very congested during peak time. Room is good enough at this price. However, some of the rooms do have uncomfortable smell probably from the sewerage. We requested to change our room and the new room is without the bad smell. The phone in the room can’t be used to contact the counter staff but they will WhatsApp you and you are able to request for any help from there, which they are quite responsive. Overall, it is a satisfied stay.
