I arrived in a downpour and it was clear reception was not interested whatsoever in showing me to my room. It was dark and there were tons of stairs and a gate and more stairs on this sprawling property so I was literally stumbling in the dark and rain heaving luggage up stairs and more stairs until I finally located my room, which was quite lovely. Breakfast would have been OK--just toast, which is fine--but the butter tasted rancid, the jam looked strange. I didn't have the peanut butter. There's a large water jug for refilling your bottle with filtered water, which is a bonus. Pool itself is nice, but loungers are wooden and there are no pillows or cushioning, or umbrellas or any kind of shade; that could be improved. Overall, it's a really lovely little manor house steeped in character and history.

Not friendly for breastfeeding mother. No fridge in the room and I asked their kantin help to keep my milk in the freezer.. ( I did place the ice packs and milk in a plastic bag) and on the day I checkout I took it from them , my ice packs and milk are not freezing.. Somemore it’s so dirty and I don’t know what is the things that spilled out in my plastic bag.

Location is great as it is near quite a number of eateries and souvenir shops. Everything is within walkable distance.

My 2nd times staying in this lodge, my booking via trip.com. Due to flight delay, when the time we reached there was nearly 12:50am in the morning. Of course Lobby counter is closed, but still can find the night shift security help to check in. Excellent location!

The overall stay was great! Especially the location and the concept of the hotel. It’s definitely unique! It’s hidden, secluded but at the same time located at the heart of the city. The downside was the amenities. It will be much better if a fridge was provided in the room. And the floor was dusty. The rest is superb!

The best hotel ever! Came with little to no expectations, I left with a happy and satisfied heart. If you're young and adventurous this hotel is definitely for you! Located in the heart of the city, it's only 2 mins walking distance to the waterfront. They also have a lot of other attractions nearby, all walking distances!
Despite it's small, cozy size, the hotel provides good amenities / facilities such as shampoo, body shower, hair dryer, free breakfast (for every guests!), pool, and more!
The only con with the hotel is the stairs. You'll be climbing up flight of stairs to get up to the hotel and to the room, it can be a bit tiring, especially for the elderly. They do have a private parking spot behind the hotel building, accessible through the church behind.
Other than that, my stay have been nothing but amazing!

A boutique hotel very close to the main tourist area of Kuching, just a short walk to Carpenter Street with its bars, cafes and shops. The hotel is well styled though service is basic - rooms are not cleaned/tidied, and the breakfast is poor. But the hotel is cheap and probably still worth it. It has a swimming pool.

Bare bones amenities, but as a boutique lodge is very well equipped with modern conveniences although has a rustic appearance
Conveniemt location in the heart of kuching, close to many bars and eateries
Definitely worth the stay
