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.

My room was clean and spacious, with a king-sized bed; however, I noticed some patches of mold and the bathroom had yellow stains that wouldn't flush away.

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.

The premium king room I had was spacious and offered a nice view, but it was also marked by missed cleanliness, especially the windows. The decor felt a bit dated, and I noticed some issues with the bathroom fixtures. The absence of a hairdryer was a surprise as well.

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
5.0
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.

I had a mixed experience at Hock Lee Hotel & Residences. While the room was spacious and had a nice river view, I noticed a lack of cleanliness, particularly with the windows and some bathroom fixtures. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself felt a bit dated and in need of renovation.
Rooms

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.
Service

The staff were polite and responsive to my needs, making the check-in process smooth. However, I encountered some issues like insufficient room cleaning and a delayed response to my maintenance requests.
Location
5.0
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.
Dining
6.0
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.

I had a mixed experience at Hock Lee Hotel & Residences. While I enjoyed the spaciousness and comfort of my room, there were several issues that detracted from my overall stay. The location is somewhat isolated, making it less ideal for exploring Kuching, and the amenities were quite basic, lacking in some essentials. Overall, I think it suits short business trips more than leisure vacations. 😕

The premium king room I checked into was clean and spacious, featuring a king-sized bed which provided a good night's rest. However, the view was hampered by dirty windows, and some amenities, like a hairdryer, were missing. The air conditioning was effective, but the TV was old with limited channels.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center, which made accessing local attractions less convenient. It's attached to a nearly empty shopping mall, making the location feel isolated. I would recommend e-hailing for getting around.

The facilities were quite basic, with room service and a few other standard offerings. The swimming pool area was nice, but the safety of the steps on the pool deck was a concern. Overall, nothing stood out as really good.
