A great place to stay. Right by the waterfront and close to all the local shops and restaurants. Neat experience to stay in a heritage building in the heart of Kuching. Was a bit loud but the close proximity to the sites definitely makes up for it. Getting to the parking was a bit tricky but eventually you’ll find it. Will definitely recommend this hotel again!

The " breakfast' is coffee or tea and white bread. If you are mobility impaired,in poor health or have heavy luggage there are many,many stairs from reception just to ground floor and very dangerous narrow stairs to upper floors. No elevator. It's a lovely hotel but the stairs could be a major issue for many people!

Really lovely place to stay in Kuching in walking distance of the waterfront And with plenty of character. There are some great views from the communal areas and a lovely swimming pool. The staff were helpful and the breakfast nice but basic. The surroundings are quite noisy so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Would highly recommend this place to stay!

Adorable hotel in the heart of Kuching

This hotel is beautiful and full of character. It was perfect for a weekend trip to Kuching. The breakfast was excellent, and the nearby bar is far enough from the hotel to not cause any noise issues. The location of the hotel is right in the heart of Kuching withing walking distance to the waterfront, shopping areas, and nightlife. The staff was friendly, and the hotel exceeded all of my expectations.

A more rustic feel to your stay in Kuching instead of the usual high-rise hotels in concrete buildings with no character. Very central location. It is also very near to local bars, so it can be quite noisy during Friday and Saturday nights if you get the rooms on Chapel Wing.

The Marian was a huge surprise, a small reception area…then upstairs you are greeted by a beautiful garden and an inviting pool, both immaculately cared for, and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The room was gorgeous, my only issue being we found it difficult to get warm water in the shower. Overall though, great staff, great location and a few great cats too!

Fantastic place

Overall an amazing place to stay in kuching, especially if your looking for somewhere with some character. The place is rustic with a few little bits which arent perfect, but place is really interesting, with lot of history and also really clean. The hotel is near the old town and china town, with lots of bar and restaurants nearby and short was to the river front. Bedroom are small but everything you need, both bed and bathroom were immaculate! - (photos are from check out). Staff were fantastic and really helpful and we book to tour through them which were also really well organised. Breakfast is basic but again every is clean and idea to set you up for the day. Honestly don't have a bad word to say. If we get a chance to visit kuching again, we would definitely book here again.

This was our second stay at the Marion. It's like spending the night at the museum. You can read the history of the original owner if you spend a few minutes at the waterfront Chinese Heritage Museum. The hotel is very close to bars and restaurants on Carpenter St. that can be noisy on occasion. We have stayed in the Chapel wing both stays and we're not bothered by street noise. If noise bothers you you may want to choose a room towards the rear of the property. Seems like people either love or hate this property. Place us with those who love it

Everything was actually very good but there were three things that guests have to be aware of. 1. The climb up to the entrance of the lodge as even steeper climb to the rooms on the second floor (I was ok but not all make like it) 2. The noise from the bars nearby maybe an issue 3. The breakfast. It supposed was to start at 7am and it was 710am when it opened and there was no apology .. nothing and put to 720am, no coffee. Disappointing.

Fascinating building with a really great ambience and located very conveniently for the waterfront and many great dining options. Room was comfortable but being on the 1st floor there was a lot of noise from the room on the floor above (heavy footsteps, things being dragged or dropped), something I guess is unavoidable in an old building.but maybe they could alert guests to be a little more considerate. Also no supplies like soap or hand towels in the bathroom. Shower gel was provided but in an awkward place to reach if you just wanted to wash your hands.

Much too noisy for sleep

Beautiful old building, and night manager stayed up very late to greet us. Unfortunately, the old building has windows that were not designed for a noisy modern environment in this city-center location. Noise from a bar was so loud that it hurt my ears inside the room till 2 AM. Even after that, 24-7 road noise was comparable to what you would hear standing on the road median. No one could sleep here We made a week long reservation based on hotels.com reviews but left after one night because of the noise. Hotel refused to refund us for any part of t he cost.
