4-Star Hotels in Kuching

We flew into Kuching in August 2026. Our flight arrived in the evening, and we were looking for a place to stay overnight that also offered easy access to tourist attractions. We were met in the lobby by a very friendly host who clearly explained where the apartment was located and how to use the keys and elevator. The apartment is on the 10th floor. Everything in the room was exactly as pictured on Trip.com. It was very clean and tidy. There's a microwave, refrigerator, kettle, washing machine with detergent, iron, ironing board, and a vacuum cleaner. Drinks, cookies, and instant coffee are also provided. On the 5th floor, there's a rooftop pool with views of the Sarawak River. The Kuching Waterfront promenade and bridge are a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel. It's beautiful there in the evening. However, we weren't able to have dinner at the restaurants near the waterfront as they close between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM. There are, of course, some cafes that are open 24/7. We bought cheese flatbreads from one of these and brought them back to the hotel for dinner. Finding good coffee in the morning was also a challenge. I went into a cafe and bought coffee, but it was terrible – tasted like just 3-in-1 instant coffee. The apartment is wonderful; I highly recommend staying here.

Every time I visit, I stay here. I just love how clean and comfortable it is, and the rooms are spacious. The front desk staff is also very friendly. Plus, there's a shopping mall right downstairs! Highly recommend.

The most comfy and clean resort I've ever had. Friendly ,Chill and keep privacy 

We are very satisfied with this house. At check-in, the house smelled very nice 😆 and all the necessary appliances were provided. It is suitable for families traveling from far outside Kuching, especially if there is an event in Kuching. It is kid-friendly as there is a swimming pool. Overall, it was really great and excellent. InshaAllah, we will stay here again in the future.

No receptionist after working hours 8-5. But can Whatsapp the number provided into the room for assistance. The gate will be closed in the evening but there is a gate remote control provided with the room keys and staircase main door access card. Facilities quite complete including washing machine, dryer machine, mini kitchen (all sharing). Got swimming pool on the top floor and a mini gym too. Walk to the front got some eateries but at night it's close.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. One of the highlights of my stay was the stunning view of the river. Waking up to the scenic waterfront and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere truly enhanced the overall experience. The hotel’s location is also excellent, making it convenient to explore the nearby attractions along the Kuching waterfront. Overall, a great stay with comfortable rooms and a beautiful river view. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Kuching.

We had a great stay! The apartment was clean, spacious, and exactly as shown in the photos. The location was convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The facilities were well maintained, and everything we needed was provided. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again!

Only one elevator was working properly. Most of the furniture was old and rotting, and the TV would turn itself off after 5 minutes of being on. The curtains were worn out, and there were limited charging sockets, many of which were not functional. Overall, the room felt run-down and appeared to lack maintenance. Hopefully, there will be improvements to the hotel rooms in the future, as Merdeka Palace Hotel Kuching Sarawak is listed as one of the top places on Google.

The location is still ok because there is a mall so if you want to eat or buy things you are still happy, but if you want to go to the waterfront, it takes 25 minutes, in front of the apartment there is also an everise, but yesterday we ordered the 2 bedroom one, 13th floor, the funny thing is that the wifi we use is the hotel wifi so it's a bit slow, there's no soap in the room, he said Sinad, it's just not available, finally he was told to deliver it, there wasn't even an iron, when I checked out I asked, he said he wanted to chat then it would be delivered hadeh🤧, even though when he arrived there was no response to the chat, it was annoying Plus, if you want to use the washing machine, you have to rent it for 35 RM a night👎, that should be the facility we get when we rent an apartment, I live in another apartment, even though the washing machine isn't in the room, it's kept downstairs, if we use it, it's free. Why do you have to pay for this? , 200 rm deposit, 37 rm in cash, they said it was clean, the apartment wasn't the same, don't know, other floors, other owners, the same or not

We love the stay. The cleanliness, comfort and accessibility are all good. Just some lifts were working properly sometimes and sometimes don’t, we all didn’t understand, so we just use other lift which on the other end. The owner maybe can provide a guide to go the swimming pool and gym in the future. I provide no picture because forgot to take some, but all are exactly the same with what owner provides.
