Stayed with kids

We stayed at Merdaka for 7 nights and the stay was alright. The first 2 nights was given the road facing room and the windows were not sound proof. Complained about it and the staff was accommodating and changed my room. The hotel is a very old one and not very well maintained. The sheets had stains and bathrooms were old and moldy. The only positive is the staff there are very helpful and polite.

Solo stay · For business

The location of the hotel and the size of the hotel room is good, but the actual room was in an ok condition, could be better, but I know they reason for the non-maintenance, but the problem is that the bathroom smelled of cigarette smoke even though it was a non smoking room. The staff at reception was pretty nice, but when I called ahead a couple times before my stay, they were rather rude. The amenities were basic and usable. Overall, I just hope they sort out their hotel politics soon because it's such a shame to see a famous and grand hotel get reduced to that state.

Merdeka was in a good location for the touristy spots. However, the staff didn’t really give the feel that they were happy to have us there. They did their job, but there weren’t a lot of smiles or helpful gestures of any kind. Beautiful lobby, but the rest of the building was very dated and in rough shape…great need of a makeover. Price was good, but in this case you kind of got what you paid for. The hotel restaurant and massage parlor were not bad. Over-all I had a rather “meh” feeling, and would most likely opt for a different place if we come to Kuching again (which we will most likely do).

The staff were great however the hotel itself is dated and all furnishing are showing signs of wear and tear. The second elevator giving access to my room 614 was out of order for my 7 days stay.
