Great location within walking distance of the river. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The bartenders at the rooftop bar can make a mean whisky sour and gave great recommendations for nearby restaurants.

We stayed at The Waterfront Hotel for 10 days during the WYC 2026 Bowling Championships, and it was an excellent choice. The location is fantastic, with the waterfront, plenty of restaurants, and local attractions all within easy walking distance. After long days at the bowling center, it was great to have a relaxing area to walk around and unwind. The shopping mall connected to the hotel was very convenient, and we also enjoyed the pool and gym during our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel provided everything we needed for a comfortable 10-day stay. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Kuching.
