Top Plaza Merdeka Hotel Reviews

Pullman Kuching

10/10 Excellent

"Nice environment, excellent breakfast buffet clean room, and excellent staffs service . Friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again."

Meritin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel, great location. Plenty of towels, hot shower, cold A/C. Convenient for pick up/drop off via Grab. Walking distance to many eateries and landmarks. Was in town for a wedding with the reception at the Sheraton and opted to stay here based on location and price and I believe we got better value. The on-site breakfast was convenient for one of our busier days but otherwise not great value (quality v cost v available street options). Had a great chat with a gentleman in the elevator who turned out to be the owner - just super friendly and wanted to know how we were enjoying our time in town. Would stay here again next we are in town."
