The Ranee Boutique Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at The Ranee Boutique Hotel was wonderful. The property has a charming, warm ambience from the moment you step inside. THE ELIZABETH SUITE: I stayed in the spacious Elizabeth Suite, which featured a wonderfully large bathroom, a very comfortable bed, and excellent air conditioning that kept the space delightfully cool. GREAT DINING & HELPFUL STAFF: The morning breakfast with its made-to-order options was a delicious treat each day. The staff were consistently pleasant and helpful, and having an on-site tour desk made arranging local excursions incredibly convenient. PRIME LOCATION: The location is ideal—situated directly across from the picturesque Kuching Waterfront and just a short walk to key historic sites around town. Between the prime location, beautiful suite, and lovely hospitality, I highly recommend The Ranee Boutique Hotel for anyone visiting Kuching!"

Cove 55

10/10 Excellent

"Cove 55 was the perfect finale to our family trip. Tucked between the slopes of Mount Santubong and the South China Sea, it feels like a private retreat — our room was spacious, spotless, and so quiet at night that all we heard was the jungle. But it’s the people who made our stay. The team helped us arrange our trips to the Semenggoh orangutans and a wetland cruise, and thought of every detail so that traveling with three generations felt effortless. Breakfast was wonderful — Western and local Sarawakian dishes both — and dinner by the pool at sunset was the highlight of our whole Malaysia trip. We left rested and already planning to come back."

The Marian Boutique Lodging House

10/10 Excellent

"The quirky hotel is a tutor mansion about a block from the waterfront. Very convenient location. Lots of food choices around the corner. The pool is an extra plus surrounded by a beautiful garden. Coffee in the morning is good. They should find some alternative to sliced white bread for the continental. Restaurant behind the office is not recommended. Rooms are nice and comfortable. Well recommended.."
