The hotel is located strategically in the town center. Eazy to find food and within walking distance to attraction places.
Room exactly as advertised. Clean and good, yes recommended 😊

Good hotel, warm welcome from the reception staff, checked in around 11pm, with warm smiles and greetings, professional command of english from the lady.
The lobby looks good, with the calming music.
But up to the floor, cigarette smells also welcoming you, when lift door opened, still need to control and charge penalty to those smokers smoke inside the room.
The bathroom area was in 5-10% brightness near dark, the room lightings also not bright and relax enough, the furnitures are quite run down already, suggest to renovate the lights and the room facilities.
The greetings and hospitality tip top, facilities to be improved.
Overall good one night stay for business traveller.
Keep up the good work.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and kind words about our reception team, cleanliness, and overall hospitality. We're truly glad you had a pleasant one-night stay with us.We'd like to share that we are a non-smoking hotel and take this policy very seriously. Unfortunately, there are rare occasions where some guests do not comply and smoke in their room. We do impose strict penalties on such cases. However, it may take some time for the smoke smell to fully air out, despite our team's best efforts.We also appreciate your comments on the furniture and lighting. We are aware of these areas and are currently in the process of upgrading our facilities. Due to our consistently high occupancy, we are only able to block and refurbish a few rooms at a time--but rest assured, the improvements are ongoing.Thank you once again for your encouragement and understanding. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon.Warm regards,The Meritin Team

Stayed in this hotel throughout my Sarawak trip. Service was great, the receptionists were helpful and polite. They allowed us to check in earlier since the room is ald vacant. Cleanliness can be improved. Noticed stain on blanket as soon as we checked in. Hotel staff came and change the sheets after informing. Room was not very spacious but sufficient for both of us. Location was ok, not too near from waterfront but distance is still walkable. There’s many restaurants nearby and even souvenir shops.

Love the small welcome note that left in the room by the housekeeping team, small gesture but felt warmly welcomed. Keep up the good work.
Room was clean and cozy, amenities sufficient, only feedback is on the room door, couldn't close on its own hence have to close it manually everytime I went out.
There is this nice Kueh chap just opposite the hotel, must try! And a good bar further to the left opposite the hotel.
Nice location, Good reception, second time I'm back for business trip.
Response from Property: Dear kfckate,Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you felt warmly welcomed by our housekeeping team, small gestures do go a long way, and we're glad it made a difference to your stay.It's great to know that you found the room clean and cozy, and we appreciate your feedback on the room door. We'll definitely take this into consideration during our next refurbishment.We're also happy you enjoyed exploring the local food scene, the kueh chap is indeed a must-try! The new pork leg rice eatery that opens only in the evening... just a few steps away from our hotel is also another must-try on your next visit.We look forward to welcoming you back again on your next business trip... hopefully soon!Warm regards,The Meritin Team

Convenient. Except for no free hotel parking available, the room is spacious and clean.
Response from Property: Dear Mary,Thank you so much for your kind review! We're really happy to hear that you enjoyed the convenience of our location and found the room spacious and clean.We understand that the lack of hotel parking may have been an inconvenience. As we're located on a charming heritage street that dates back to the early 1900s, space is quite limited, and unfortunately, dedicated parking isn't something we're able to offer. That said, we hope the unique charm and walkability to many popular eateries and attractions made up for it in some way.We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again soon!Warm regards,The Meritin Team

strategically located at city center, newly renovated. Friendly reminder: try to avoid rooms facing main road & drawback is soundproofing is not good.

Service is always excellent here. Location is the best - close to laundromat, food, pubs, short walk to waterfront. This was my 3rd time staying here and this time my room was facing the street opposite a very busy pub. Staff warned me at check in which was kind of them. Room came with earplugs. Did not need them. The warning is purely so they can contact the pubs owner if need be, as there are strict noise laws for these reasons. Great stay as always. Will stay again.
