Top Istana Hotel Reviews

The Marian Boutique Lodging House

8/10 Good

"Perfectly functional hotel. Spacious, clean room. Friendly staff in lobby and at restaurant. The room we booked had one bed in a loft, which we didn’t want to deal with, so they changed the room no problem! Only minor issues are that they could use a shelf in the bathroom, as there is no place to put toiletries. And only one (of three) beds is near an outlet/charger."

Voco Kuching by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Magnificent Hotel. The best Holiday brand has to offer in my opinion. This location was excellent and wonderful staff."

Grand Margherita Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Was probably beautiful in the past but could definitely use maintenance and a deep cleaning."

The Waterfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very great location, friendly staff and nice rooms. Breakfast buffet was very good too"

Astana Wing - Riverside Majestic Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basement parking is stink. Breakfast was okay & can be improved. The pool needs to be maintained and service"

Pullman Kuching

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Pullman Kuching. The staff were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. From the reception counter to the front entrance, the staff consistently greeted us with warm smiles, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. We also appreciated the room upgrade. The upgraded room was spacious, comfortable, and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only minor drawback was that some noise from the ongoing renovation works could occasionally be heard. Overall, we had a very pleasant and memorable stay at Pullman Kuching, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality shown by the staff."
