Tajau Laut Guesthouse

Kudat

Situated in Kudat, Tajau Laut Guesthouse offers accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. Very good place in front of the see in small village near to town of Kudat. Very helpful stuff. Host as well as all others. Also very tasty food like lunch and dinner provided (for extra money) The owner Jumaidi was always helpful. He is very friendly. He also helped us to arrange transport to Kinabalu park and he also solved our issue with next hop accommodation we had. I can only recommend if you prefer the homestays on the places like this instead of hotel or luxury residence.

Perfect location in a safe, peaceful neighborhood with groceries and shops within walking distance. The staff (Kevin) is very friendly and flexible. Very good cheap & price value because of your room and the large amount of facilities to use: shared kitchen with the ability to cook, living room with a big smart TV and a free washing machine (only to buy or to use your own washing capsules). Our rooms (we stayed here for multiple nights in multiple rooms because we kept extending) were very clean with comfy beds. Highly recommended when you are looking for a good stay in the beautiful city of Kuching!

Merdeka Guest House 2

Kuching

Offering garden views, Merdeka Guest House 2 is an accommodation situated in Kuching, 5.5 km from Sarawak Stadium and 10 km from Borneo Convention Centre Kuching. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host is just from another world. I arrived late (around 22h30) and even though he likes to wake up at 4h30, we kept talking for about half an hour. Then, he goes: "do you want me to show you around?" >> he went on giving me a guided kuching tour in his car. He even wanted to buy me a drink but no shops were open at midnight. Besides this, he would leave traditional sweets for breakfast every day. Legend!!
