The staff here are lovely: welcoming and helpful. The hotel is about 15 mins walk from the waterfront, and there are lots of eating places en route.
The decor and furniture in the rooms is dated, but I think this is appropriately reflected in the price. Each floor has a stuffed bookcase with a wide range of books which guests can borrow.
I experienced both a buffet breakfast and an individual one during my stay. The individually-prepared breakfast was excellent, with lots of choice; the buffet was pretty standard. I especially recommend a papaya granola smoothie!

Excellent hotel and restaurant staff. All were very courteous, and receptive to our needs. Food was excellent and delicious. We really admired the historical and authentic indigenous artifacts and decor found in the lobby, cafeteria and on the grounds. The Wi-Fi was good but weak in some areas.

The rooms were clean but dated. However the hotel is undergoing a major renovation beginning with the first floor.

As usual, it's always like returning home. Almost all the staff at Telang Usan are familiar faces. We got the room facing the lovely green garden/forested area upon request. Love it! Will definitely be back.

Staff & service: Generally excellent. (1) Melanie & Nicky went the extra mile to arrange for a FOC recce trip to Bengoh. My daughter & I had a fantastic day. (2) On our departure day, the staff on duty were quick to remediate the missed breakfast order done the day before by getting the kitchen staff to prepare our breakfast on time, although it wasn't the menu which we originally pre ordered. Cleanliness: Generally, a clean hotel. However, the housekeeping team could ensure that they clean/wipe the room's bathroom-toilet with regard to the sink, counter, shower cubicle & floor on a daily/regular basis during the guest's stay.

Close to nature. Very friendly & helpful staff; Melanie is always so cheery, prompt & attentive. Love the lady boss, Audrey too. Always feel so welcomed. Surrounded by eateries such as See Good Restaurant & Lepau. The latter serves delicious & authentic Dayak cuisine. Lamin, the hotel's own restaurant serves authentic & delicious food with fresh ingredients. Love their Sarawak Laksa which is a must try. Although a bit dated, this hotel is way better than Pullman, Hilton & Majestic in terms of friendliness of its hotel staff, food, timely housekeeping, quiet, parking space and unique display of indigenous arts, craft & artefacts, etc.

With ample parking space and adequate breakfast, the hotel was ideal for longer stays for a person owning personal transport. Meals are also available at the cafe at a reasonable price. The only minor complaint is perhaps the loud noise emanating from nearby restaurants and cafes which are popular for functions and gatherings.

Good value with all facilities that you need

Old hotel but nice. Complete facilities with free parking and free breakfast. Spacious room. Location behind Pullman Hotel Kuching but no pedestrian walk (short cut) from Telang Usan to Kuching Waterfront. Need to drive less than 5 minutes. Famous steamboat (Halal Muslim) in front of the hotel. Delicious and cheap. Self service dobi just around the corner at the main road. Very quiet and relaxing place with small garden in front of it. Room has all the facilities like towel, toiletries, kettle, coffeemix, TV, aircond, elevator/lift. We enjoy our 2 nights stay here. Will come again.

Nice well run hotel

Very nice room, even got one that didn't reek of cigarettes. Only problem with it is access. It's not a long walk anywhere but the heat and the lack of footpaths made getting around less than enjoyable and took the shine off an otherwise excellent experience a bit. That said I would stay there again.

Noisy environment

The basic facilities of hotel are provided, breakfast is included too. Good services from the hotel. However, there are no noise cancellation for the room, we can basically hear the musics and noises from the party held in the cafe below the hotel. The water heater needed a longer time to heat up too.

Nice hotel, clean, comfortable and lovely staff

I highly recommend this hotel, it is clean, comfortable, has great wi-fi connectivity, free breakfast and the staff are very helpful. However it can be a bit noisy if you have a front-facing room as the restaurants nearby play music, it is not too bad unless you are trying to concentrate on work or studies. However I'm sure a room facing the other direction won't have this issue.

Med gang avstand til elvepromenaden

Vi bodde der i 12 døgn. Senga var dårlig, air con var et mysterium. Renholdet var fraværende. Renholder kom og vi ba dem kom senere så kom de ikke senere. Reholdet var elendig. Tror ikke gulv ble vasket den tiden vi bodde der. Dette er tydeligvis noe som alle hoteller i Malaysia plages med. Restauranten var grei god mat. De ansatte burde muligens ha hatt seg et engelskkurs

Das Personal ist besonders freundlich und immer hilfsbereit, ich habe mich einfach rundherum wohl gefühlt. Gleich nebenan ist ein wunderbares Restaurant mit indigener Küche und ins Zentrum kann man zu Fuß laufen 20 min oder ein Grab Taxi nehmen. Perfekt!
