Kuching Waterfront Lodge

the location is the best! eat, shopping, transport all within walking. the budget was good value. the heritage of the building was great with all timber from structure to decorations. great to still above to living in it. there's smoking zone which is too near to my room, as i can smell it from inside the room. (pls request to get room far away from smoking area if u dont like the smell)

Location, location, location! The hotel was right in front of the river! Restaurants are right there on streets behind the hotel. Decor & furnitures are classic. The bathroom pipe under the sink inside the room needed fixing. The pipe was disconnected.

My husband and I stayed in a triple room at the Kuching Waterfront Lodge a few nights in April. No frills, but clean and quiet, and a great location for us. Kuching Waterfront Lodge is just across the street from the waterfront esplanade—a fairly well maintained paved path along the river, where we hired a small boat for a private river cruise, and took a ferry boat across the river to Fort Margherita. Walk a couple of blocks to the old courthouse (a restored historic building with a small museum and a couple of restaurants), and walk in the other direction to the museum of Chinese history in Kuching. The staff were pleasant and the lobby was old-time interesting. We had a quiet room, away from the front of the building. The a/c was good and the bedding was clean. Wet bathroom (not uncommon in Malaysia). The interesting part of the hotel stops at the lobby, as the upstairs could be anywhere. Our room was dark and a bit musty. One wall was painted dark grey, there was only one (overhead) light, and the window had colored glass so not much light was coming in. No bedside tables, and the towels were worn. At one time the hotel offered breakfast, but they stopped due to Covid. Not sure why they haven’t started again, as the space is still there--- with a (now communal) refrigerator, hot water pot, and toaster. A simple breakfast would have made for easier mornings. There is a front verandah overlooking the waterfront, but it wasn’t welcoming. Overall impression is that Kuching Waterfront Lodge is resting on its laurels.

great location at the waterfront, shops around, helpful staff, great value very small bathroom and limited option to dry your clothes when wet/sweaty. The room would get stuffy very quick without AC

good location ?

The location is at the Kuching Waterfront and within walking distance to tourist spots and restaurants. There is no bidet in the toilet.

We had a great stay at the Lodge Waterfront Lodge. Don't expect the Hilton, but the historic charm and location can't be beat for this quaint little town. The staff was great and for the three star adventure traveler, this gem is a special find. A+++ for this couple.

Good!❤️

Across the street from a great waterfront walkway. Surrounded by several interesting shops and restaurants. Close to a mall and museums. Room is a little cramped, fixtures a little old, but great value for the price. A food court is close by so there is some noise from there at night.

The lodge is conveniently located right in front of the waterfront, and it's easy to buy merchandise or souvenirs since there are many souvenir shops nearby. Overall, my stay was good. some of the electrical switch in the room are need of replacement.

Lovely staff and great location

Excellent Nothing

The staff were lovely! And the location is ideal

Very good

Location is amazing on the waterfront. Chinatown is just around the corner. Perfect. The hotel has loads of character. The staff were really friendly. The only problem we had was the toilet broke and take ages to fill and was noisy. We enjoyed sitting on the front verandah with a cup of tea.

Superb

Location near shops & riverfront. Shower was nice and hot & instant Quite basic. Lighting was very dim. Towels were not sparkling white.

Good

We loved everything about the Kuching Waterfront Lodge. This beautiful, authentic, Chinese house opposite the Sarawak River close to the famous bridge and in the heart of the old town. The staff were very friendly and helpful with enquiries We would definitely recommend
