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.

Excellent food at the restaurant on the property! Yes, it's old but it has a lot of style. If you're looking for extra hot water with high water pressure keep looking. But if you like unique style, this is the place. The stairs may be challenging for some.

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.

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!

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!

Strategic location and classical architecture
The hotel is an old building with nice architecture. Very strategic location with scenic surroundings. The room we stayed was spacious with old furniture. The beds were clean but the floor and toilet/bathroom doors were dusty. The reception staff were not very friendly. We had to carry our luggage through many stairs to find the room on our own but later we discovered that we could bring the car to a car park just behind our room without having to climb any stairs. The staff should tell us that when we checked in. We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and could not sleep well the second night as the fire alarm rang a couple of times after midnight.

Clean and cosy for a 2-star hotel. Staffs are friendly too. Overall I enjoyed my stay there! :) However the downsides are: 1. Too noisy as rooms are not soundproof. 2. Can improve in choices of breakfast. 3. Noticed that gate to carpark was often closed and locked up.

Funky Central Kuching Base
This place is a great, interesting place to stay, with comfortable, clean air-conditioned rooms and lovely sitting areas with airy windows to catch the breeze. There are a lot of steep stairs to get to the upper rooms which can be hard after a day in the jungle. There is also a lot of noise from the Chinese Karaoke every night across the road 6.30-12 and then 5am call to prayer then church bells and sometimes fireworks from the Chinese temple. Use ear plugs and get the staff to help you with your bags and you'll love staying here, it's got a great pool, very funky and in a terrific central part of town.
