Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights recently. I was there to conduct a 2 day training programme for a client and the training was conducted in a function room within the hotel.In all my previous visits to Kuching, I had stayed at the Holiday Inn as well as at the Kuching Hilton.
The hotel has an impressive and spacious lobby.The Front Office was manned by 2 ladies who were both friendly and efficient.The hotel room I got was a big one and well furnished as well as clean. The fittings in the room as well as in the spacious toilet were of a high standard and clean.
The bed I had was very comfortable. The only restaurant in the 200 plus room hotel located just minutes away from the airport was large and well patronised. The food served for buffet breakfast was commendable but not great in terms of choices. But the staff at this restaurant were courteous and helpful.
There is also a small, cosy Lobby Lounge near the Front Desk. It is manned by a single but friendly lady. I also ordered Room Service one night and had their famous Sarawak Laksa for dinner. It was a generous portion and tasty.
There is also another Imperial Hotel in the city centre. Taxi fare to the city centre or back to the hotel is RM 25.00 ( standard fare ). If I am going there to meet with clients / friends or to explore the city, it is a better option to stay in a city centre hotel.
