Hotels with Swimming Pools in Bintulu

The check in process was easy, but a little too easy as in I was not shown what direction to head to get to my room, what floor it was on or even where the lifts were. Check in staff were pleasant enough though. I eventually found my room and it was ok. For an ”executive suite” it was way below par, but for a normal double room, it would have been fine. Decor was very dated but sufficient. I didn't particularly like the wooden flooring, but that's a personal choice and it was clean so hey ho. The biggest issue I had was I could only find one plug socket, which was nowhere near the bed and it appeared to be very loose in the wall. The 2 x USB sockets on it were handy, but only worked when they wanted too. The room phone did not work so I had to go to reception to order room service. On that subject, I ordered a pizza and it was delicious. I genuinely loved it and it was delivered piping hot. The downside was the guy who delivered demanded cash only (which was not stated anywhere in the room service menu) and I did not have enough cash on my so, much to a bemused look from him, I charged it to my room. The shower was over the bath which was a bit dated but was decent enough. The bath mat was a bit shabby looking so did not use it. The towels were clean and fresh. The bed was very comfortable and I did have a couple of good nights sleep. I did nit try the restaurant in the hotel so cannot comment. Overall, it is a decent hotel that could be doing with a facelift, but it was OK. It is located right next to a shopping mall which, being honest, is worth a miss, but that's for a different review.

Came to Bintulu for marathon. Location of hotel is ok, there is a coffee shop besides the hotel that serve decent hawker food such as chicken rice, sarawak laksa. You can grab to Town area and the fare is pretty cheap.

I was quite sceptical initially because talking about location, not that strategic. Needs to take Grab to go the Spring Shopping Mall. However, I was surprised. The room was quite cosy. I had good night sleep with the considerably comfortable bedding & pillows. Bring your own toiletries. The hotel is quite generous with the coffee, tea sachets & drinking waters. I think the best part is the breakfast buffet spread. It took me by surprise. Considerably generous choices.

Stunning location. No beach though. And that is it. Hotel is not maintained at all, bordering on being unsafe. Rooms dirty, equipment not in good order and not working. Staff are as help-full as they can be. But obviously limited by bad management. I asked a staff member if they are happy to work there. They could not answer me. Not recommended. This is becoming an embarrassment for the Sarawak state. Stay in Bintulu or Miri and travel if you have to work in and around Samalaju Industrial Park.

First thought, this hotel is good. The view near the lobby looks beautiful. Upon reaching the room there seemed to be a lack of him. There are still cans of drinks, cigarette dust near the window. In other words not as we thought. Sometimes it's good to have a cheap hotel with the best quality. In any case, the front door and checkin counter do their job best. I am satisfied with their service.
