Hotel 5 estrellas???

5.0

La ubicación, situado al lado del Museo de Borneo, del Chinatown y del Waterfront de Kuching.

− Dicen que el hotel es de 5 estrellas, pero está muy viejo para ser un hotel de 5 estrellas. En su día lo sería, pero a día de hoy, no llega casi ni a un 3 estrellas. Necesita una reforma integral urgente. A mi me pusieron en una habitación, que por fuera, la pared que daba a mi puerta, estaba comida por la humedad. Y dentro de la habitación, también tenía humedad. El WC estaba con el plastico levantado de la tapa. Con estas razones se puede comprobar que este hotel no es de 5 estrellas. No se si la piscina funciona, ya que cuando estuve, no estaba en funcionamiento y para el calor que hace en Kuching se agradecería tenerla disponible; aunque les pregunté al personal de recepción y me dijeron que habían tenido problemas técnicos y por eso no funcionaba. El hotel está bien situado, pero por la situación, hay muchos mejores hoteles que este.

L'appartement est grand et la situation est proche de la promenade en bord de rivière.

− L'hôtel est très vétuste et mal entretenu. Il y a beaucoup d'humidité, la peinture des murs tombe, et ce qui se détériore n'est pas remplacé.. ainsi il manquait le tiroir du meuble de la salle de bain. Nous avons loué un appartement et la cuisine n'est pas équipée (pas de vaisselle). La piscine est mal entretenue également.

A grand hotel needing lots of TLC. Nice setting next to park and short walk to bus, foreshore and mall.

7.0

Proximity to shuttle and Museum of Borneo Cultures. Lobby looks good. Cafe ok.

− Rooms need renovating - some bedcovers with dirty marks and brown holes. Damp bubbling on wall and black mould in shower. Toilet not working properly and leaking otherwise. Cloth on chairs ripped showing it is well worn. Carpet in halls not properly laid.

Was great location, and a place to sleep, but is a 3 star hotel at best.

6.0

The location was perfect, close to the waterfront, Chinatown, shopping centre and the bus to Smenggoh wildlife Reserve. The 3 bedroom suite was a good sized suite.

− The lobby is Grand living up to their websites 5 star hotel hype, but every other part of the hotel needs some real TLC, you wouldn't know the place was built in 1998- the same year as the Petronas Towers opened. I don't think the building has had a cent spent on it since opening day, which is a real shame as it could be a grand hotel.

The location is excellent. Staff are very attentive. The room is fairly clean but old and needs to be renovated.

− The lobby toilets need to be clean constantly. There was a leak and didn't flush well.
