Budget Hotels:

The Fairview, No.6 Jalan Taman Budaya, Tel.: +60-82-240017, +60-13-8011561,. Colonial House with tropical garden, a nice place that feels like home.

Singgahsana Lodge, No.1 Temple Street, 93000 Kuching (opposite Harbour View Hotel). Tel.: +60-82-429 277, [5]. A relatively new and hip Back-packers lodge that is centrally located at the Kuching waterfront. It is clean and very reasonably priced. Possibly the best-value budget accommodation you can find in the city area.
Carpenter Guesthouse, No.94 Carpenter Street, 93000 Kuching (behind Main Bazaar). Tel.: +60-82-256050 Mobile.: +60-19-4598008. [6] New guesthouse, extremely clean and well maintained.

Mid-range

Harbour View Hotel. Lorong Temple, 93100 Kuching. Tel: +60-82-274 666,  A two-three star business-class hotel that is centrally located in front of the Kuching Waterfront. The standard rooms are actually quite basic and is nothing to shout about. Despite that, its still usually occupied by Tour Groups.

Hotel Grand Continental. Jln. Ban Hock, 93100 Kuching. Tel: +60-82-230 399,  A comfortable 3-star hotel located about 15 minutes walk from the Kuching Waterfront.

Kuching Park Hotel. Lot 606 Pandungan Road, Kuching. Tel: +60-82-239 888,. A standard 2-3 star hotel located a short drive away from the city centre.

Kingwood Inn. Lot 618 Pandungan Road, Kuching. Tel: +60-82-330 888,. Another standard hotel that's probably abit better than Kuching Park Hotel.

 Splurge

Crowne Plaza Riverside Kuching, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, tel. +60-82-247777. Despite the name, this is the one riverside hotel that isn't actually riverside (although it's just across the street).
Hilton Kuching, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, tel. +60-82-248200, [12]. Probably the top digs in town, with great riverside location.

Holiday Inn Kuching, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, tel. +60-82-423111. Getting a bit old, with a dumpy pool area - although guests can also use the facilities at the Crowne Plaza across the road.

Merdeka Palace Hotel, Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, tel. +60-82-258000,. Kuching's oldest luxury hotel, its rooms aren't quite as spectacular as the lobby, but the hotel has infinitely more colonial character than the riverside set. Located right next to the Sarawak Museum, yet still within striking distance of the riverfront. The rooftop pool has a great view over Kuching. Rack rates steep at around RM300, but steep discounts in the off season can chop that in half.

Somerset Gateway Kuching, Jalan Bukit Mata, tel: +60-82-250958. Part of the Ascott group of hotels, they offer comfortable serviced-apartments in the city centre.
