Hotel Longhouse — Hotel in Borneo

In a midst of peak period of school holiday + public holiday last September, all hotels were fully booked. And luckily this hotel was available on the date where my family & I last minute planned going to Kuching. We don't have any high expectation as we needed place for rest that will be enough. And once we arrived to this hotel, I was mesmerized with the interior of the hotel lobby & surprisingly their room also! It was so good, clean and modern look hotel. As I can conclude, this is the old hotel but they did their renovation very very well. My family & I have a good rest as the room was spacious enough for us. Only it is not soundproof enough as the hotel is by the main road. But our rest is not distracted either. We really have a good sleep after a long day.

Bathroom- Spacious, clean, provided amenities, hot & cold shower, great water pressure.

Parking: It was a bit hard to get parking nearby the hotel as it is by the main road. Depend on your luck if got any nearby parking :)

Will stay in this hotel...

Positives: pickup from airport and to train station worked well. Staff was friendly. Check in/out staff was friendly. ||Roof over your head. ||||Negatives: the property is old and in disrepair. Windows opened with difficulty. And you will need to open those windows! The bed was not very comfortable. Very bouncy. ||Housekeeping gets a solid F. The floor was dirty. There were dust bunnies a few months old. The bathroom had a heater with a solid layer of dust inside. ||The shower clearly had not been cleaned. ||Breakfast was muffins, toast, cereal and bagels. Jam came from a community jar. No way!!!!||Considering this motel provided the absolute minimum in all respects, the lack of cleanliness, and overall shoddy appearance, this makes for substandard living quarters that in no way justify the exorbitant price we paid. I don't care how nice the staff was. They can't make up for the lack of everything else. That leaves absolutely nothing to lure me back at any time...

Was a last minute booking and couldn't get a cheap room as it was the Rainforest World Music Fest so decided just to go ahead with this hotel as it was in town. When we reached, it looks like the price was still a rip off bcoz of the condition of the hotel. It was not maintained well, the room was semi clean and spooky at the same time. It was an old hotel but come on, I've been to old hotels and they are still clean and maintained well. ||||If your traveling alone I wouldn't recommend this hotel as its at the end of town and not safe to be walking alone especially at night. U can find all sorts of suspicious characters around. The hotel staff was not friendly at all and even if I had something to ask, I decided not to even bother asking.||||The only good thing I would say was the hotel had a lift and made it easy to go up our room which was on the 3rd floor.||||Seriously a first and the...
