Kuching 2.0: I Had The Most Memorable Stay at Pullman Hotel, Kuching

Today, I’m excited to share my staycation experience at Pullman Hotel, Kuching, where I chose to base myself during my recent work trip to Sarawak. If you’re looking for a place that combines elegant comfort, warm hospitality, and delicious food—all without breaking the bank—this might just be your perfect match.

I spent 3 wonderful nights at this reputable hotel, and here’s everything you need to know:

✅ Spacious & Inviting Room

I stayed in an Executive Deluxe Room, and stepping into it felt like entering a cosy haven—seriously, it was like a big, warm hug. As a welcoming gesture, the General Manager left a lovely note on the coffee table with a plate of desserts, which was such a nice touch! The room was way more spacious than I expected, providing me plenty of room to stretch out and just chill, and let’s not forget the view—I had a cityscape view that was truly Instagram-worthy.

The room was equipped with everything I needed, and it even came with a yoga mat and a set of dumbbells for a quick workout. The bed was very comfortable—not too soft, not too firm and had 2 pillows and 1 throw pillow, which was perfect for someone like me who always requires more than one pillow for a restful night’s sleep.

The bathroom was well-equipped with both a bathtub and shower, and the essentials were all there—shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and more. Housekeeping came by daily, keeping everything fresh and tidy.

✅ Great Location Near Kuching Waterfront

A trip to Kuching wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the waterfront. While I had previously stayed at the Hilton Kuching, which was much closer to the waterfront, my experience at Pullman Kuching was equally delightful. It only took approximately 5 minutes of walking to reach the Waterfront from Pullman, and I noticed many eateries along the way.

✅ Breakfast That Truly Delivers

One of my favourite parts of any hotel stay is breakfast—and Pullman Kuching did not disappoint.

As an Executive Room guest, I had the option to dine at the Executive Lounge (The Peak) on the top floor for a more exclusive setting or head to the main restaurant, Puzzle, on the ground floor, for a shared morning experience where everyone goes to eat. I was drawn more to the restaurant downstairs because it offered a wider variety of options compared to the Executive Lounge, and I’m so glad I did.

The range of options was quite impressive; they covered everything from different types of cereals and fresh salads to traditional dishes from Sarawak, classic Malaysian breakfasts, and even hearty Western selections. If you’re into pastries, you’re in for a treat because there were plenty of them to choose from. Fruits weren’t in short supply either; buckets filled with whole red apples, green apples, oranges, grapes, and bananas were set out and ready to enjoy, along with sliced options like dragon fruit, watermelon, papaya, pineapple, and honeydew. To finish off the breakfast experience, there was a coffee machine along with various fruit juices to pick from.

For those seeking to enhance their dining experience, there’s also a bar conveniently located on the ground floor called Deja Vu Bar.

✅ Friendly, Genuine Hospitality

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm smiles. The bellboy helped with my luggage, and check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff were efficient and polite, but what stood out most was how consistently friendly everyone was—from housekeeping to restaurant servers.

It felt like every member of the team truly enjoyed making guests feel at home, and that energy was contagious.

Will I come back?

Absolutely yes!

My stay at Pullman Hotel, Kuching, left such a lasting impression. From the friendly staff and cosy room to the top-notch breakfast and unbeatable location—it checked all the boxes.

If you’re planning a trip to Kuching and want a hotel that delivers on comfort, value, and hospitality, I wholeheartedly recommend Pullman.
