We enjoyed our time at the B&B inn. Airport pick up was great, and they even stored our bags for a night while we went to Bako National Park for only 2 ringetts each. The woman at the front desk was a little clueless at times, but I guess she was trying. Good location.

It's a mixed crowd here. Young and old all come here for a few nights stay. Cleanliness level is pretty standard for the price. Neither spotless nor dodgy. People are nice. Do look for 'Nik'. He's lived there as a guest since 2006...knows a good deal about Sarawak. DIY Breakfast is a nice thing...

There is no way people could have claimed this to be "The best hostel in world".... not by a long shot!close

only gripe i had was about the low water pressure on the higher floors, and they should have a hot shower in every shower stall. not bad overall, still have plenty of room for improvement though

Really good value for money, a clean dorm, good breakfast, reliable internet, close to the action, very hard working staff and even a TV with astro to watch the football.

staff are friendly, the location is not too far from the city centre, just a few minutes walk. btw, there is only 1 water heater in the shower room so you have wait if u wanna use it. try to avoid getting rooms tht face the main road as it can be quite noisy at night, but besides that this place...

Everything was great, its just a walk from most places and getting in and out was easy. If you're looking for a decent cheap place, than this is it. The only thing was that couldn't get the water running one time, but maybe its my fault for coming in late after midnight.

The door staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The owner was full of good advice about the area. The longhouse trip they offer was very good, and they made it easy for us to come and go, with luggage storage and even letting us use a night we had paid for at another time. The location is really central in Kuching, facilities were all we needed, and they kept the place clean. Cheers!close

Very nice and helpful staff make you feel at home. Rooms are very basic but clean. The location is excellent, all major tourist sites in downtown Kuching are within walking distance. Would stay there again.

Very nice owners (Chan & Lily) but they are renting the building and it could do with a renovation. Entry is a bit seedy (unlocking a padlock) and the meeting area/kitchen is very small, with only one tiny table for everyone trying to eat breakfast. On the other hand, breakfast is free :-)
