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).

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.

Former glory days gone by. Urgent repairs needed.

The hotel has seen glorious days but today it is a sad reminder of how not to run an establishment. Everything need a complete redo, though the quality of the finishing is good, like marble masonry. And solid furniture. Carpets, curtains, fixtures and aircon are all outdated and breaking down. Hope they can renovate this place soon.

As noted by others , unfortunately , a once, very majestic hotel ( is only 25yo ) is now very dated and in need of major refit. However , the rooms are large ,clean and the bed very comfortable ( if you like a firm bed ). Nothing else compatible for the location and price
