We had a lovely stay at Puteri Wing, Riverside Majestic Hotel during our recent couple's trip. The service was pleasant and the staff were genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Although the air conditioning in our room wasn’t very cold, it didn’t overshadow the overall experience. The hotel’s location was a big plus with easy access to the Kuching Waterfront and nearby attractions, it was perfect for evening strolls and exploring the city. Breakfast was decent, with a fair variety to start the day. One thing we really loved was the hotel's interior charming and warm, which gave a cozy feel to our trip. We do hope the hotel continues to maintain its standards, especially because we truly appreciated the ambience.

“Nice location”

We stayed as a family of 3. Room was fine. We had to ask for the spare bed to be made up as it only had a bottom sheet. Blankets duly arrived but no top sheet…asked reception to look into and got another blanket. It was a bit scratchy! Pool was nice and great after exploring each day. There i… more

We stayed as a family of 3. Room was fine. We had to ask for the spare bed to be made up as it only had a bottom sheet. Blankets duly arrived but no top sheet…asked reception to look into and got another blanket. It was a bit scratchy! Pool was nice and great after exploring each day. There is no shade. We had an excursion and asked to take a towel to dry off. The hotel doesn’t provide this so we had to take one from our bathroom. Breakfast was good with a nice range. Hotel is near the waterfront which is nice in the evening and you can see a nice light show. It is also near a few nice restaurants which we enjoyed trying.

The hotel location is great and within easy walking of the riverfront, town area and several tourist attractions. The view from my room was lovely and overlooked the river. The room was very spacious, well appointed, clean and had plenty of storage. Free minibar and daily water. The window was wall to wall and floor to ceiling so it felt light and open. The pool was clean and there was some seating there but it's not somewhere that you lounge around on sunbeds and there was nowhere for that to occur. The gym was unstaffed, a few kids running around in it and some equipment was dismantled. Having said that, it seemed well equipped. Aircon worked well and was easy to control. Shower pressure and heat of hot water were average. I didn't include breakfast in my stay so can't comment and didn't use the restaurant or lounge as they were both empty so not inviting. The hotel has 2 wings and there's a laundry in the adjoining shops downstairs by the Puteri entrance. There was almost interaction with staff apart from check-in whichwas efficient. Unfortunately early one morning there were 2 incidents of fire alarms going off. I went downstairs and staff were unable to advise if we should leave our rooms or not or whether there was any actual fire. A lot of confused guests and staff had no idea what to do. Concerning if there had been a real danger. Unless there are at least 2 of you and you can book tours online, do some homework as there's no tour desk at the hotel and when l asked reception they gave me a card for a driver service. I later learned that the concierge staff are very helpful and can assist with booking tours through Ooh haa travel. There's also a bus which goes from directly outside the hotel to Sarawak Cultural Village but only runs on weekends. For Semengoh orang utan centre it'll cost about RM60 for a driver to take you, wait 2.5 hours and bring you back using Grab. Book the sunset cruise directly at the waterfront and there's a free daily walking tour at 4pm from the riverfront. Everything else is close to town so accessible using Grab or walking.

“Very nice hotel, polite and helpful staff, good food.”

We took the Executive Deluxe river view room, on the 16th floor at the Astana Wing. View was fantastic. Room was large, clean and comfy. No bath, just a shower stall which suited us just fine. Buffet breakfast was adequate, tasty, some menu items changed daily. However, what I liked most was the Ro… more

We took the Executive Deluxe river view room, on the 16th floor at the Astana Wing. View was fantastic. Room was large, clean and comfy. No bath, just a shower stall which suited us just fine. Buffet breakfast was adequate, tasty, some menu items changed daily. However, what I liked most was the Roti Jala with its curries. You can dine al fresco with a nice view of the river. I will definetly stay here again

I stayed one night here during a short visit to Kuching. The Puteri Wing has recently been refurbished, with an awful lot of gold everywhere. My room was comfortable enough, but there were no international TV channels and the Wifi was unreliable. The breakfast was quite nice and the location near the river is convenient for Chinatown and the central parts of Kuching. There is a very basic gym in a dark former squash court, and a small outdoor swimming pool. If you need international business-standard accommodation, then perhaps try the Hilton or Sheraton next door.
