Accurate rating 2star

We have travelled extensively. Massive let down. Room and hotel smelt terrible of mould and smoke. Facilities were dirty with excessive mould in wet areas, stench in rooms. Bins in lobbys were overflowing the whole stay, evrywhere was grubby. Breakfast was very basic. We left after 2 nights and moved to the Pullman.

Fantastic location walking distance to everything.

Pros: Location, Kitchen area was good. The winner for me is the washing machine/dryer.
Cons: The showers in the bathrooms. Carpets in our bedrooms looked tired and in need of face lift.
Location: Walking distance to waterfront, many eating shops,banks.We even walked to Sarawak museum, India street etc.
We loved the location, roof top pool gave a birds eye view to the city and was a blast for after exploring Kuching city. Another big hit was adequate tv channels to entertain the kids and adults.The front office staff was very helpful.The kitchen area was good though can be better if we could buy small amounts of dish washing detergent and washing detergent for washing machine from front office.Washing machine /Dryer was my favourite. Could not work out the air-conditioning though it did work with random pressing of buttons.The biggest let down for me was the showers. The walls could do with a bit more scrubbing or change of cleaning agents.I hated seeing the mould in the grouts and some water seeping onto the bathroom floors after a shower.

Great apartment, great location

Pros: The location, the pool, the apartment and friendly staff
We had a great stay at the Ariva Gateway in Kuching. Really comfortable and spacious apartment. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is great - nice and close to some of the more interesting older parts of Kuching and close to some cracking local restaurants/eateries. Has a great pool too - not too deep for our 5 year old. I would definitely recommend this place to others and we will hopefully be back at some stage in the future.
