The second elevator giving access to my room 614 was out of order for my 7 days stay. ##### Neil Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dennis 27 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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). ##### Dennis Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen 2 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Though the location was great the apartment suite room condition was in poor maintenance: the kitchen had minuscule appliances/serve-ware/cutleries; broken kitchen dish drying rack; water/leak-stain in the carpets in living room and dining room (one of the living room stain was even still wet when we arrived); in the main master bedroom there's a mold-stained ceiling leak above the sink; leaky water taps; mold/blacken corking in all the bathrooms/sinks; some non-working light bulbs etc. Generally not maintained. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohd.Sofizam 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and cozy place to stay ##### Mohd.Sofizam Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 17 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 3 Bedroom Apartment Took the 3 bedroom apartment.
