Had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering good value for money. The hotel is convenient located near the airport and connected to a shopping mall, making it easy to access food and essential. Breakfast was enjoyable with good variety of options, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful. However, there was a blackout during my stay that lasted more than 30 minutes, and it appeared that there was no backup generator available. Fortunately, it occurred in the early morning when there was some natural light. It would have been more challenging if it had happened at night. This is an area the hotel need to look into. Overall, still a comfortable stay, but improvements in this aspect would enhance the experience further.
Checked in at 3:30pm on a weekday and was told the room still wasn’t ready, which was disappointing considering it wasn’t a public holiday and the hotel didn’t appear particularly busy. After a long day of travelling, the last thing you expect is to wait around past check-in time with no proper explanation or urgency from staff.
The facilities were another letdown. Went for a swim around 9:30am only to find the pool closed for cleaning during peak morning hours. The spa and steam room were also frustrating to use because we had to search for staff every single time just to get them switched on. It defeats the purpose of advertising these facilities if guests can’t conveniently access them when they want to relax.
Overall, the hotel looks nice on the surface, but the service and management of the facilities really took away from the experience. For a Pullman hotel, I expected a much smoother and more premium stay.
We recently stayed at this hotel with our family to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is new, clean, and very well maintained. The rooms were comfortable and spotless, providing a pleasant stay for our family.
The location is excellent, with convenient access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it easy to get around. The overall environment was welcoming and relaxing, which made our anniversary celebration even more memorable.
Thank you to the hotel team for the great hospitality. We had an enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to families, couples, and anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

A Consistently Wonderful Stay
Returning to the Abell Hotel Kuching for another stay reminded me exactly why this property remains my top choice in the city. The location is absolutely unbeatable, offering ultimate convenience for any traveler. It takes just a few minutes to walk down to the beautiful Kuching Waterfront, making it effortless to enjoy scenic evening strolls. Furthermore, the hotel sits right near Chinatown, placing vibrant culture and historic charm directly at your doorstep.
The surrounding area is a paradise for food lovers, boasting a massive variety of dining selections. From bustling local hawker stalls serving authentic Sarawakian dishes to modern cafes, you will never run out of incredible options to try. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the exceptional team. The hotel staff are consistently good, professional, and incredibly helpful, always greeting guests with genuine warmth and handling every request with efficiency. I highly recommend the Abell Hotel to anyone visiting Kuching, and I will certainly be staying here again on my next trip
I had a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived. The check-in process was quick, smooth, and very professional. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and made me feel valued as a guest. They explained everything clearly and ensured I had all the information I needed for my stay.
The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. After such a positive first impression, I’m looking forward to the rest of my stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great service and hospitality.
Thank you to the team for making the arrival experience so pleasant.

I stayed here for a few nights and had a generally acceptable experience. The room itself was a bit old and dated.
However, looking past the dated decor, the overall stay was okay. The room was kept clean, the bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep, and all the basic amenities worked without any major issues. The staff were friendly, and the location was quite convenient.
If you are looking for a modern, luxury experience, this might not be the place for you. But if you just need a functional, reasonably priced place to crash for a couple of days, it gets the job done. It's nothing fancy, but overall ok.

If you're planning a trip to Kuching, save this post! Meritin Hotel is officially my new favorite base in the city.
• Location, Location, Location: It’s right in the heart of Padungan Road. You’re literally steps away from the famous Great Cat Statue and surrounded by the best local food (Kolo Mee for breakfast every day? Yes, please!).
• Vibe Check: The hotel is modern, chic, and super clean. It has that premium boutique feel without the crazy price tag. 💸
• The Comfort Factor: After a long day of exploring, their rain shower and plush bed were a total dream. The soundproofing is surprisingly good for a city-center hotel! 😴
• Walkable: A short 10-15 minute stroll gets you to the Kuching Waterfront. Perfect for sunset walks.
Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be where the action (and the food) is!

Very Good
AAnonymous UserI stayed at City Rise Hotel Miri for the second time and overall it was a pleasant experience. my stay included breakfast. Although the variety of food options was not very extensive, the nasi lemak was surprisingly delicious and definitely a highlight of the meal.
The hotel remains a comfortable and convenient place to stay, especially for short visits. I would consider coming back again in the future.
GGuest UserVery recommended to others. That was my second time stay there and it is the best place to stay. But for my second time there are faulty lights at room 308, the rest is okay nice experience stay there and maybe LI HUA is my fav place to stay during my work travels. Thanks.
GGuest UserExceptional Hospitality That Made My Birthday Special
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pullman Kuching Hotel, and it was truly a memorable experience. I chose to celebrate my birthday there, and the team went above and beyond to make it special.
A heartfelt thank you to I-Rene Saw, the Guest Experience Manager, and her wonderful team for their thoughtful arrangements. They beautifully decorated the room, surprised me with a birthday cake, and put us to a newly renovated room. These small yet meaningful gestures made a big difference and created a warm, celebratory atmosphere.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay — the service was attentive, the room was comfortable and modern, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Pullman Kuching Hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
Thank you once again to I-Rene and the team for making my birthday so special!
DDik FaiJust arrived at the hotel and was informed that there was ongoing water pipe repair work outside, which caused a temporary water disruption during the daytime. We couldn’t shower or wash our hands for a while, which was quite inconvenient. Thankfully, the water supply returned to normal again in the evening.
Front desk staff were still very polite and helpful throughout the situation.
We booked the Deluxe Single Room, and the king-sized bed was very comfortable and spacious, enough for us two adults and our 2yo child, with plenty of extra space. However, the bed felt slightly damp when we first arrived, but it became better later at night.
The hotel also has a family pool and direct beach access, which makes it a great place for families with kids to relax and unwind. The buffet breakfast menu was also quite rich with plenty of choices.
GGuest UserOverall, the stay itself was comfortable, and the room met expectations. The hotel's aesthetic is elegant and beautiful, and its location is convenient, surrounded by chinese restaurants within easy walking distance. The breakfast buffet was also good and enjoyable. However, the experience was unfortunately dampened by issues at the front desk, hygiene standards in the common areas, and soundproofing. We arrived around 10am and requested an early check-in, fully understanding that the standard check-in time is 2pm and that any earlier arrangement is subject to room availability and discretion. However, we were told by staff that early check-in would only be possible with an additional charge of RM160. This created an uncomfortable impression where it felt less like a matter of room availability and more like withholding an available room in order to impose extra charges. The tone suggests monetising convenience which we weren't particularly happy about.
After checked-in around 5pm. we noticed dirty plates on the floor left near the lift area. What was more concerning was that these plates were still there in the same spot the next morning when we checked out. This raised questions about cleanliness and hygiene, especially in shared spaces. In addition, the soundproofing could be improved. Noise from children crying near the lift was clearly audible, and due to the hotel's proximity to the airport, airplane noise could also be heard. This may be a concern for light sleepers or guests seeking a quieter stay.
While the room and overall stay were generally good, these experiences affected our impression.

GGuest UserGreat location to have day and night view of Sarawak river and access its fabulous water front. Also had a dip at its swimming pool . The sound proof windows can not totally block off noise from the roaring motor bike passing the street. Wash liquid are empty in the bathroom
