Poor management

Reviewed By 08rachel

I checked in the hotel at 3 pm for 2 rooms. The staff told me that they will call me and give me the room card once the room is ready. My brother managed to get his room card after one hour waiting at the lobby. Then I managed to get the room card at 6.26pm (after 3 hours waiting). How's the poor management of the hotel with 5 stars international hotel. In addition, one of the staff at the front counter was not friendly with the client. The toilet at Level 2 was not clean regularly with the toilet paper on the floor.

Old Room In The Old Wing

Reviewed By glyn0220

Booked a room at the new wing, but offered a room in the old wing. We didn't mind the swap. The room we got was spacious, with two queen beds. Aircon was cold and room had complete amenities - complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea, iron, hairdryer, room slippers and toiletries. It was comfortable, only that the everything looked a little dated. During this pandemic period, it would be good if the hotel could assure guests that rooms were definitely sanitised prior to every check-in. I think that would make my stay more comfortable even. Overall, this hotel is alright for short-term stay.

First Break Away

Reviewed By samjocox

Location: The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance of the waterfront and Merdeka Plaza shopping centre. Lots of amazing restaurants very close. Our room was described as having a waterfront view although it was just about visible. Room: We stayed in a first floor suite. The living space was very big and beautifully decorated, the bed was lovely and soft, very clean and comfy, the bathroom was AMAZING. A huge deep bath and a powerful shower. I would say that if you're planning on having a bath, plan in advance, the tap is probably more suited to a sink and took a LONG time to fill the bath, but was nice and hot. Facilities: Its advertised that there is a bar open until 10pm, this wasn't the case during our stay which was a shame as the bar has a nice looking menu. We were able to leave our luggage on the last day as our flight was late in the night. Staff: All of the staff were friendly and helpful for our entire stay. The cleaning people, even tucked in my very old teddy bear. Breakfast: Breakfast is to be ordered the day prior via a very easy to use order form collected from reception. The french toast is absolutely gorgeous. There is one of those usually horrendous toast machines that you see at all inclusives although this machine, somehow managed to make the best toast I've ever eaten in my life. There's a good selection of cereal available too.

You Get What You Pay

Reviewed By Kevin T

I did not have high expectation about Kingwood Hotel Sibu so I don't have much disappointment during my stay. There are not many options in Sibu so this one is consider moderate. I was lucky enough to be given a quiet room since it was quite peak and high occupancy during my stays. One thing I dislike is that the housekeeping did not clean the cup that I used in the morning.

So glad I pick the Astana Wing as my quarantine hotel

Reviewed By nestingdragons

I opted for Riverside Majestic Astana Wing as my quarantine stay. From the moment I was picked up to the stay itself, the service has been great. I am currently still staying in my Deluxe King room on the 15th floor (the bed is super comfortable!). By all account, select the river view room. Each even the sky turns into a magical hue of oranges, the most beautiful sunset. A stay would not be great if not for the service. I would like to call out Amos Chong who checked me in upon arrival. His customer service is personable and with lots of attention to detail. He has the ability to make you feel like as if you're a returning VIP even if its just your first stay. Kudos also goes out to Ivy from the restaurant. Each morning she greets with such delight and would address me by name. She's definitely a ray of sunshine. I cant wait to meet her once I get out of quarantine. I definitely would be back and would recommend friends to stay here. For the two excellent staff, Amos and Ivy, I hope you get recognize for the 5 star hospitality you show.

Good - Not Great

Reviewed By JSTrip_77

We booked here because we were visiting Kuching just as Malaysia was emerging from COVID and few hotels had yet resumed their service. The hotel is very convenient to the hotel and to the huge shopping mall across the street but the location is no ideal for the general tourist attractions of Kuching. And, while we did walk from the hotel to the downtown, riverfront area, there is no safe and continuous sidewalk so we ended up taking taxis more often. The room was pretty large and while somewhat basic, it had everything we needed. The water pressure was great as was the hot water and A/C. The pool was a nice amenity after long hot days in the sun too. Had there been more options in the riverfront area, we would have preferred to go there to find a room.

The most unpleasant dining experience

Reviewed By leechongen

Had our company annual dinner at the rooftop event hall at GoldenBay Hotel last weekend. Ambience and view were great but the quality and the quantity of the food served was appaling. The fish and prawn were not fresh, probably why it was served deep fried. For a table of 5 adults, we were served 5 tiny prawns and 5 fish fingers. Everyone went home hungry. An extremely unpleasant occasion. I would not recommend this venue for any future events.
