"Wallpaper needs upgrading. Lift was fast, that's good. Location is mostxsyratrgic for travellers planning to see Kuching city on foot"

"If you like a hotel with character this is the place for you. Reception staff were great, there is a pool where you can chill. Wifi was good and if you don't want to leave the grounds, nice reception rooms to read. Will be back.. "

"The hotel was conveniently located next to Sawaraku General Hospital. The coin laundry was well-equipped. It was nice that the convenience store was open until late at night."

"Love this hotel - friendly staff reflect Kuching itself. Amazing room service, access to shopping mall in hotel, great views, amazing breakfast buffet, I want to go back ! Only small complaint might be that the elevators are slow and get busy with shopping mall users, wedding and conference guests, etc - but don't let this small matter deter you from staying here !"

"Let's start with the positive aspects: 1 Beautiful setting on a west facing hill overlooking the sea 2 Staff is friendly and very helpful Now to the not so good: 1 The culvert concept is obviously minimalist but even so the space could have been better organised 2 The first culvert we occupied for one night was sloping the wrong way so the water from the shower ran away from the drain 3 The aircon was provided with a non original remote that could only turn it on or off but couldn't set the...

"I've stayed here several times now over the last 30 years. There are better hotels around for sure but The Grand Margherita is consistently a good standard. Try and get one of the newer refurbished rooms, my last stay was in one of the older rooms (8th floor) and it's sadly in need of some TLC. Still adequate but could do with updating"

"Great and spacious room"
