I had a mixed experience at Hock Lee Hotel & Residences. On the upside, my room was spacious and comfortable, boasting a nice river view. However, I was disappointed by the overall state of the hotel, especially the musty smell in the corridors and some cleanliness issues in my bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the hotel could really use some renovations and better maintenance to improve its appeal.

I recently stayed at Hock Lee Hotel & Residences, and while there were some positive aspects, several significant issues detracted from my experience. The room was spacious with a good view of the Sarawak River, but the cleanliness and overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The location is a bit far from the city center, making it less convenient for exploring Kuching.

Location

Positioned a bit away from the city center, getting around involved relying on e-hailing services. While convenient parking was available, being adjacent to a nearly empty shopping mall didn't contribute positively to the ambiance.

Dining

Breakfast was quite simple, and I had to wait a while for my order during one of my mornings. The options were adequate but could benefit from more variety, especially in savory dishes.

Facilities

While the hotel offered basic amenities like a swimming pool and room service, both the pool and other common areas showed signs of neglect. The facilities, though adequate, could use a refresh to enhance the overall guest experience.

The premier king room was clean and spacious, but some issues were present. The view of the Sarawak River was great, yet the dirty windows affected it. I also found the shower tap faulty and the towels stained. Overall, the room had a comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.

The hotel is located a bit far from major attractions, which made accessing the city a bit inconvenient. Though I appreciated the complimentary parking, the area itself is overshadowed by nearby industrial shops.

Breakfast options were limited and somewhat repetitive. I ended up opting for room service instead, which was adequate but not impressive. The cost for breakfast was reasonable, though I didn't try it until later in my stay.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities included basic amenities, with room service and airport shuttles available, but the overall ambiance felt a bit neglected. The unique pool shape was visually nice, yet the pool deck had safety concerns with slippery floors.

The location is somewhat isolated, making it less ideal for exploring Kuching, and the amenities were quite basic, lacking in some essentials.
