We first stayd 5 nights in pullmann hotel, and then 4 nights in waterfront. Waterfront had a much nicer feeling, the breakfast was much better, the pool 100% better with a nicer feeling, and rooms was nicer. You get alot more for your money other places in Malaysia, but we had i nice stay.

The pool is cold and covered, so there is no sundeck, we did not enjoy it. Drinks are not the best. Rooms are fine, but even we stayed on the executive floor with a great view, the aircon was noisy and vibrated the entire room, and it was just on or off, no settings worked. The bed was old and we didn't sleep to well. The breakfast buffet looked good, but the bread was stale and the cakes dry and the service crew looked to care about nothing. We would not recommend to stay here if you like to use the pool and bar and sleep well. Location is great in the middle of the Waterfront area, but can be noisy around weekends.

Old fashioned but still nice hotel, with dated facilities. Pool is great but very small, a bit cramped with 4-5 persons. Had a great view of the riverfront.

Very nice hotel with good facilities and good location in the centre of Kuching. However, I paid extra for a club room and while afternoon refreshments were available, there was NO Club breakfast. I found the breakfast was in a VERY crowded dining room in the 4th floor and that spoiled my enjoyment of breakfast!! I think if you pay extra for Club, then you must have your breakfast in peace & quiet on the club floor

Excellent stay at The Waterfront. The service was impeccable, the bed and pillows were the comfiest I've experienced, breakfast had a wide selection of foods
The airport shuttle service was great. I especially liked the hotel cat called Orange. I didn't get a chance to use the pool area as it was closed for VIP events when I tried.

Not a bad place, relatively clean and comfortable. Location is great as every place in old Kuching is just a short walk away.
But as usual, it takes one staff to spoil the stay. We booked 2x family rooms on the Club Floor, so that we could use the Club. We got to check in at the Club, and we were told that we could use it, all 6 of us, as long it was open. However, for breakfast on the 4th floor, it would only be for 4, and we'd have to pay for 2. No issues there.
On the 2nd day of the stay, we were told that only up to 4 could use the lounge, and that we would have to pay MYR39 each for the other 2 pax. What?!!! And that is for each entry, i.e., for tea time, and then for "Happy Hour" (inverted commas because there's no alcohol served). We just needed to use the lounge to discuss our activities since we weren't in adjoining rooms. Some times we didn't even take a drink. The charge didn't make sense, and I told the staff that was not what we were told at the start. She later came back to say she spoke to the manager and we'd all get 'complimentary' lounge entry for the rest of the stay.
Strange, I thought that's why you pay the extra for the Club Floor to start with.

This feedback is for management,
Actually my review on staff is solely based on ONE staff member, the lady that looks after the pool and sauna for me every single day, she was so good, attentive and always positive.
The rest of the staff needs to have better training. Some staff walk around bare feet, sometimes during quiet times the staff are talking to family loud and friends on their mobile phones disrupting the guests. Really weird, the only noticeable staff member that provided me EXCEPTIONAL service was the lady that looked after the pool and sauna in the mornings.
She was fantastic, deserves a payrise

We stayed for 9 nights at the Waterfront Hotel when visiting family in Kuching. Our room was large, quiet and bright and we enjoyed our river view. The area is very convenient and we strolled around the old town and
ate out in the area. There is a shopping mall attached and the food court is very convenient. Breakfasts at the hotel were quite good. The only slightly annoying situation was the shower which leaked onto the bathroom floor. Installing a rubber strip at the bottom of the door would be a good idea. Otherwise, we would stay again on our next trip.

Reception area too small, thus makes the whole area seem totally crowded. Booked the club floor, all day dining food was left in the open, doesn't look appetizing at all. Food served during cocktail hour was mediocre, totally unexpected that alchohol was not served at all. But hotel is clean and staffs very polite.

Located in the historic heart of the city which is great (but does comes with city sounds). The view from the pool deck is perfect for iconic pictures, especially for the bonus night fountain show across the river. The pool itself is a little too cold without any sun on it. The highlight of our stay was the customer service. Frankie was like our personal concierge, he granted us a wonderful room upgrade and arranged a rental car for us in the most seamless car hire experience I’ve ever had. The attached shopping mall is great to have right there for anything you need or just a break in the A/C.

Hotel located at Waterfront with bridge to Kuching North. Close to Chinatown and easy access to lots of local food places. Nice walking along the Waterfront and the local shops, like going back in time to earlier days in Singapore.
Ventilation in room not too good. Woke up each morning with smoke smell in room. Aircon can be a bit noisy when turn on high. Had problem with WIFI for the first 2 days, until the hotel provided a dedicated device for the room.
Nice hotel. Clean and very convenient. Will certainly return with other family members for a holiday, and travel out a bit to the surrounding areas and explore the various cultural offerings.

After checking into our room we discovered that the air-con and TV was not fully functioning. Calls made to maintenance who responded quickly however they were unable to adjust the aircon and it was a wintery blast for the whole period we were in the hotel. We had to go down to the pool area just to get away from the wintery blast. Would not recommend this hotel.

A very nice hotel. My room was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, I got sick shortly after arriving (Covid) and had to leave for quarantine.

Uncontrollable water temperature for the basin and shower. Water was so freaking hot and water pressure was so small, it was a nightmare taking shower. Some furnitures were not in good condition, side table was broken, TV channel not in good reception. One of my favourite hotels before the pandemic. Hopefully the housekeeping n maintenance can do something fast. Front service was all awesome and excellent.
