Kuching Waterfront  Lodge

This property is unique, we absolutely loved itIt is a perfect location and the staff are fabulous and really helpfulIf you are expecting a 4 star hotel this is not it, but if you want to stay in a place that has so much old world charm and character then this is the place for you, absolutely fabulous

I am a "senior (over 70), solo, budget traveler" and I really enjoyed my stay here.
Reminder this is a "Lodge" and not a "Hotel" so don't go expecting "fluffy white towels, free bottled water, complimentary toiletries, tea & coffee options or a breakfast room"! I had a room on 1st floor (there is no Lift) which was quiet and smoke-free.
The Reception is available 24/7 and has a myriad of fascinating antiques and curios to peruse. I found the young Gabriella incredibly helpful with activity and food suggestions and with assisting me with transport needs ( I don't have Internet to access Grab transport).
To me, it's all about LOCATION, right opposite the waterfront where every night is a full-on food, music and light show. Strolling along the promenade was my nightly indulgence, but I could also use either of the balconies at the lodge to sit and peruse the activities if I was tired or there was a 'down-pour'.
Immediately next door is a 7/11 which is open 24/7 for hot & cold food and drink options. I went down every morning for my first coffee (cost 3.50RM which is less than $1.50 AUS). For my daily breakfast, I went to RAW Juicery @ The Ranee Hotel (5 doors down heading to left from the Lodge) for fresh juice, Acai Bowl and coffee. They are a Vegan Restaurant offering Brunch & Diner options. They open at 7am.
The Ranee Hotel itself offers bookings for Tours and Attractions.
The Lodge is very close to the Information Centre (walk left) and is a short stroll away from Chinatown (Harmony Walk) and India Street and a large shopping mall.
Indulged in massage from the Blind Massage Centre on 2nd floor of this mall and had my Hair washed (40RM) and Nails done !
Can't recommend this accommodation enough and felt it was good value for money.
If you want 'luxuries' though, go elsewhere and pay for it !

Located at heart of Kuching. Just opposite waterfront. Lots of happening there and many shops at surrounding. Old building and old furniture, but clean.

Beautiful, classic ,original Malaysian style lodge has so much character, warmth & atmosphere. Best location. on the RiverFront and close to everything. Rivercruises, restaurants, shopping  , waterfront, entertainment . Cozy ensuite rooms , kitchen/dining area & very friendly, accommodating staff . I have stayed here three times in the last 13 years . look forward to my next visit.

We love the old world charm, the wonderful staff and the proximity to the river and waterfront.

Very basic and old but very clean and everything is nearby. waterfront and parkson and lau ya keng food court and india street and museums. The front staff is so helpful. They will help you to plan the trip.I will come back here for sure.Thank you so much.

The Lodge was a great place to locate during our stay in Borneo.  Arshad, Abu, Mary, Zack and Zienon were friendly and helpful night or day, whatever the hour.  When we traveled overnight or several days to national parks and wildlife refuges our extra baggage was stored under lock and key while we were away, making our excursions so much easier.

We stayed in multiple rooms, but our favorite was Room 214, centrally located.  There are festive events and activities on the waterfront and an all-night open air restaurant behind the Lodge and Room 214 insulated us to a good degree from the reveries.  Returning from excursions away from Kuching we welcomed the ability to sleep early.

On the river.   Lovely old building.   Pretty basic really but very friendly and welcoming.   There are a fair number of restaurants within a 10 minute walk.

Lovely hotel, very nice decorations and an amazing big beautiful painting at the lobby. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We loved the location right on the waterfront! This is more of a hostel/guesthouse and we stayed in one of the private rooms. This was good with us, but want people to know. Everyone was very friendly and helpful!

NO 1  LOCATION KUCHING !!!

Stayed here in a group of 12 in July 2019.
The desk were very helpful and accommodating as they allowed us to use facilities to keep bags whilst we trekked and were away, they also gave us discount due to it being such a large group.
Good English speaking, the bedrooms were all good for price with hot working water.
There is some self catering with the use of a toaster.

Great accommodation right in the middle of the Capital

Location is at the water front of Sarawak River, so plenty of things to be enjoyed, nice foods in the vicinity, souvenirs shops along the road, relax atmosphere along the river front, and also close to river cruise wharf. The room was clean and OK, the hotel provides us free simple breakfast, and the building has an accent of old chinese house. Friendly and helpful staff, a convenience stay for one night.

Convenience stay at the Sarawak River waterfront

I was bringing a group travelling via land from KK, Brunei, Pontianak, Kuching return. they came during the 2nd day of Chinese New Year celebration. this hotel sits on a property built during the reign of the Brooke family.  The building itself was huge. Mary, the receptionist gave us a tour of the hotel. the 5 persons group chose a room on the ground floor.

great job everyone.

very beautiful property

Great Central Location

A friendly, no frills hotel located in the Main Bazaar. Rooms are small but you get all you need: comfortable bed, small desk, small bathroom, free wi-fi and a very basic breakfast. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful. At the back of the hotel you will find a great simple restaurant serving a delicious Sarawak laksa.

Budget hotel in an excellent location

Very beautiful old Chinese house - looks much much bigger from the inside :) Basic accommodation with clean rooms and bathrooms. Right in the middle of the waterfront - with all you need at 5-10mins walking distance. Basic bfast, but they warn you abt this in advance, so it ok. Very nice and helpful stuff! Perfect for local and budget accommodation.
