We loved this hotel! We stayed on the club floor - exquisite service. The breakfast was vast and delicious, the location was as central as you can get, and being attached to the mall was really cool!! I would definitely recommend this hotel !!!

What a fabulous hotel. We were on the club floor which definitely makes a difference as we had afternoon tea and cocktails included. The club lounge overlooks the water and is magnificent. Room was good but as we had a twin room did not have water views unfortunately. Staff were extremely helpful.

The ease of check in was very convenient as we were able to check in before the stipulated time.
In terms of location, you have the convenience of being located on the river front and doorstep of a mall, but also shielded from the noise and hustle and bustle should you not be a shopping fan!
The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options. The Food and Beverages manager on the evening of Sat 16 Nov 24 was outstanding; He took the time to recommend and explain the local dishes. Jee is also worth mentioning as she went above and beyond in her service.
Great place to stay - would come back again.

Apart from breakfast, nothing is impressive. Also it is close to the waterfront and occasionally the road is block for any events around hence unexpected traffic jam occurs especially over the weekend.

The shared parking facility with the adjoining mall makes parking for hotel residents a great inconvenience especially during a time when there are events such a the Regatta going on last weekend.the hotel should have a separated parking facility just for hotel residents.

My family Regatta vacation
I just want to comment about the food. The food quality is not very tasty, and the price of food is very expensive compare to the taste etc. I want to recommend the Pesto spaghetti to be removes from the menu.
I want to suggest the hotel to add more new food menu like sarawak authentic food because the hotel
Is a popular hotel amongst the tourist.

Overall pleasant stay with friendly staff. Large room but a bit tired, hotel in need of refurb, certainly redecoration. Breakfast good selection. Good location. Swimming pool in shaded area, open but recessed under a roof so no sun and cool water. No outside space any where to enjoy the sun, except a small space for the smokers! From previous reviews was expecting top notch! It wasn’t!
