Pullman Kuching

Pullman Kuching

8/10 Good
"The Pullman Kuching is a great choice for anyone travelling to this part of the world. We found the family room (king bed and king single) to be perfect for our needs. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive and they epitomize the cultural harmony Sarawak is famous for. There was some renovation work being done during our stay, but it was no inconvenience at all. Our ten day stay was wonderful as we introduced our grandson to this part of the world. The hotel is a short walk to the Bazaar and many diverse eateries, and there's a very handy supermarket and food court in the same block as the hotel. Our breakfasts were a treat with new offerings on a daily basis and very good coffee. The huge swimming pool, spa and gym are immaculate with a child friendly area for those with little ones. The Junction lounge was a great place to relax and cool down after a day exploring. The complimentary snacks were a bonus too. A shout out to the staff... from reception, breakfast and housekeeping, they made us feel welcome and at home during our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel for conferences to family holidays. Thank you and keep up the good work.. it is appreciated."
