Excellent Staff but bad maintenance of room

The carpet were all stained and appeared dirty. Toilet flush was erratic and unable to stop water from flowing. No floormat provided and had to specifically request for it. Towels provided were visibly old (yellowish/greyish).

The ONLY saving grace is the lovely and friendly staffs at the front desk that is very meticulous to my requests.

The hotel is in a great location. Excellent breakfast options - try the sarawak laksa. Staff are very helpful and the concierge was able to find tours for a solo traveller without having to pay for 2 people. I stayed in one of the older, cheaper rooms and the bathrooms are in need of renovation however it was still clean and everything worked well.

I've stayed here several times now over the last 30 years. There are better hotels around for sure but The Grand Margherita is consistently a good standard.

Try and get one of the newer refurbished rooms, my last stay was in one of the older rooms (8th floor) and it's sadly in need of some TLC. Still adequate but could do with updating

We switched to the executive floor and the bathrooms were slightly better but the hallways were in the same dirty condition. Staff is friendly. The place needs some TLC.

Not as expected for a 4* hotel

Room purchased for stay was a king bed but was initially given a twin bed. Eventually given a room with king bed but room condition was terrible. Fixtures were literally falling off like door handles, bathroom not quite clean and amenities like bathroom soap missing. We were given another room but linens like bath towels were dirty and bedsheets smelled. Not something one would expect from a reputable hotel.
Only good thing was the duty manager (Mr Jamahari) handled the initial issue professionally and with utmost courtesy.

The location is convenient but there are issues with cleanliness and service. Although staff were friendly, they were not helpful or efficient. I was shocked that when I asked the reception for a few envelopes, he said I could only have one! And then my friend left a package for me and the reception said they did not know anything about it. I finally tracked down the staff who received it. That was the level of service...very sloppy.

Hotel security is not as good as anyone can enter the hotel easily even with or without access card to any floor. Appearance of building is so much older than image. Blanket got abit of stain but is fine for us. Slipper quality is the worse I even seen, not even make of paper.

Stay in the executive room- ask for special decoration and cake and they reply they will do a simple one with cake. But check in with only a love Swan on the bed that all. Upon this request, it took me 3 weeks to get an reply from their staff.

Good points - located conveniently, breakfast or cocktail choices for executive is a plus point (cleanliness is so much better than level one public breakfast) staff is helpful.

The hotel is quite old and not very clean. There was mold in the bathroom and the carpet had a bad smell. Additionally, the corridors smelled like cigarettes. Even one \"clean towel\" was given to us with a terrible smell of cigarettes. Shower took a long time to warm (more than 5 minutes), and in our last day it didn't warm at all.
Breakfast is great and the staff is friendly. They provided masks for the haze

Great hotel, pity about the neighbours Karaoke!

Always like to stay in the Grand Margarita when in Kuching and it never dissapoints. Great to see the inside has been refurbished following on from the Holiday Inn era and i am sure the external refurbishment will follow soon to spruce it up and show it to its full potential. The real negative is still the Karaoke noise from the other side of the river which feels like its coming from the room next door so an early night is not possible (on weekend or holidays). This has been going on for at least 10 years and why the authorities allow such a high noise output in a Kampong and residential area is still baffeling?
