This is not my first stay at Meritin, I am very happy with the rooms, cleaniness is excellent, air-condition is super cool, beds and pillows were very verycomfortable. Staff at the reception are very helpful and friendly. The location is also convenient as it is situated along chinatown and food is abundant along both sides of the street. I will definitely come back here to stay for my yearly trips to Kuching.

We stayed at Meritin hotel as part of our longer journey across Malaysia and Borneo. For a stay in Kuching we can happily recommend Meritin hotel, as it maintained a high standard in most aspects. The price was quite good in regards to its high standards. Positives: - Good location, close to the city centre and walking distance to the waterfront. - Clean and fresh room! This is one of the highest standards I’ve seen in Malaysia so far in terms of room standards (cleaning wise). - Very helpfull and friendly staff! They helped us with everything we wanted and made sure we had a good stay. - High speed wifi Negatives: - Although they had breakfast available, they had quite few options. It’s not the biggest deal in world, but if you’re a big breakfast person I suggest to book without breakfast and find something better in town. Early breakfast was not available. Overall a very good stay thanks to the helpfull and friendly staff and good standards of the rooms. Highly recommended for a stay in Kuching!

There is room for improvement on inter-floor and inter-room noise. Power sockets are faulty. Lighting in the bathroom should be made brighter. Otherwise, it is quite a great hotel and value for money. I would consider to stay in this hotel again in my next visit to Kuching.

Excellent location, walking distance to diners, grocery stores and seafood joint. It's in a local neighborhood, amazing vibe, you can walk around and explore. Staff are very friendly and helpful, always smiling. However the hotel facility is fairly old. Rooms are very humid (towels never dry, even quilt are kinda wet). Not sound proof, we woke up by either club music or people talking in the hallway..) But it's cheaper so I guess this is what we paid for, the price also tells you about Malaysia's inflation if you haven't been there in a few years.

Fantastic hotel, great location. Plenty of towels, hot shower, cold A/C. Convenient for pick up/drop off via Grab. Walking distance to many eateries and landmarks. Was in town for a wedding with the reception at the Sheraton and opted to stay here based on location and price and I believe we got better value. The on-site breakfast was convenient for one of our busier days but otherwise not great value (quality v cost v available street options). Had a great chat with a gentleman in the elevator who turned out to be the owner - just super friendly and wanted to know how we were enjoying our time in town. Would stay here again next we are in town.

Easy check-in. Helpful and friendly staff. Good price with enough facilities. Very good location with plenty of coffeeshops eateries, cafes, restaurant, many rated 4.2 and above in Google reviews. Walkable to Water front, Museum, etc. There is a free bus 103 less than 1min walk from hotel which can be good for city tour. But the bus came once every two hours, do check the time on the bus stop.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable, particularly liked the bathroom with the walk in shower, unlike some hotels that have the shower in the bath. Being an older person a walk in shower is much safer. As well, breakfast was included in the room price which is very helpful when travelling. Thank you Meritin Hotel for a pleasant comfortable stay.
