B&B Inn - Hostel

Kuching

I enjoyed my stay in this B&B hotel, room was spacious and well decorated. The staffs are cordial and positive. They always tried their level best to satisfy the guests. You can stay this hotel. Recommended 

Good place to Stay 

B&B Inn`s facilities are very basic and "tired"  but it is close to the Waterfront area of Kuching, there are numerous local eateries nearby, the manageress is very helpful, ceiling fans and an open window are adequate, cheap ice-cold drinks are available, basic breakfast is included, there are many interesting cultural photos on the walls, there is a pleasant open rooftop area and it is a cheap stay. It cost me RM 66/$A 22 for three nights. Recommended if you are a backpacker or not expecting "a palace".

CENTRALLY LOCATED BACKPACKER ACCOMMODATION

1. The location itself is rather out-of-the-way than any other accommodations but in case if the taxi/Uber driver had no idea about the place, you just need to tell that it is on the same building with Borneo Hotel.

2. Do not forget to tell the B&B's owner/staff what time will you be checking-in upon booking, be it late at night or else since the reception only opens from 7am until some time in the evening.

3. You will need to pay a key deposit for MYR 5 for each night you stay. In my case, I stayed there for two nights and a MYR 10 was charged though upon check-out you will get the deposit back.

4. Shuttle service in between Kuching International Airport and B&B Inn is provided but chargeable. It might be a little expensive unless you took Uber from the airport to the stay it only costs MYR 8, more or less.

5. Booked for a double room with fan only which is MYR 40/night. However, upon check-in, opt for room with air-conditioning which is only MYR 45/night and was given a room with a double bed & two single bunk beds. This room is great for 4 persons, though for my friend & I (2 persons only) is way much greater.

6. Do not forget adapter to charge your mobile devices since there is only one socket in each room (at least in the room we stayed).

7. Blanket is provided upon check-in. The only unexpected thing is, for me at least, bath towel is not provided.

8. There are 3 shared bathrooms on the 2nd floor, the floor we stayed in. Toilets are separated for gents and ladies, sadly only one for each. You strictly cannot take shower in the toilet since the toilet floor should be remained dry at all times. Also, tap water should be used sparingly.

9. The kitchen area is not bad. Seems like almost everything you need is provided, for example the cooking utensils, refrigerator, water dispenser, coffee amenities etc.

10. Do not forget to check the rooftop. Probably want to spend about MYR 5 for a can of Tiger beer (which you can buy at the reception) and enjoy them at the rooftop.

11. Luggage storage is provided at the reception, chargeable MYR 2 for each bag.

A good stay, after all!

Opt for good

we stayed there with 16 other friends during the rainforest festival and honestly it was not that bad for the price we paid
location is pretty good and most of the rooms were pretty clean
the owners were very nice and helpfull and we could use the kitchen and even chill at the rooftop

its a really good value for money and i would recommend it if you are not planning to spend your time at hostel and would rather spend your money on activities than accomodation

you get what you pay for

Cheapest room I could find but the place is a dump. The whole place is kind of falling apart and its definitely not a place you'll meet people - despite their photos trying to imply something differently. That photo of people on the roof is a joke - that must have occurred years ago because right now that area is just full of trash and has 1 chair.

Cheap but not very nice.

We stayed here for a week off and on, by which I mean that we took trips and could leave our big bags while away. It did state on a notice that there was a charge to leave bags but we were never charged, perhaps because of our longer stay and the fact that one of the trips was organised through them. That trip was to a longhouse which was not one of the ones that tourists normally go to, so If you want a good longhouse experience ask for a trip with Aba. We stayed one night in the longhouse. The staff are friendly and the girl on reception was particularly helpful. The double room we used had a fan and an air con which we only used (and paid 5 RM extra for) for 1 night as it wasn't really needed in October. We paid 40 RM a night for fan. Breakfast is included and was toast and jam or coconut honey (yummy). Tea and coffee available at all times. You can use the fridge and kitchen to prepare your own meals, which we did some of the time, but plenty of restaurants within walking distance, as is the rest of the town and river front and bus stops to other attractions/national parks. Transfers back to airport can be arranged.

Good budget option

During our time in Kuching, we used to live in the B&B Inn. The double room was clean, comfortable, with windows, ventilator and even air conditioning. In the kitchen you can have coffee or tea anytime, cook yourself or talk to other travelers. Also the bus or tour information you get at the reception is great and the tours are usually a little cheaper than in the surrounding travel agencies.

Top guesthouse at a good price

Honestly, when we arrived at the hotel, we were a little scared. Noisy street, decrepit façade, bunker building. Once inside, good surprise. Because most rooms need a refurbishment, which is happening, several rooms have been refurbished. Our room was not renovated, but for the price, 35 RM, that's what we were expecting. SDBs are shared, but hyper clean, they are cleaned at least 4 times a day. These are the common parts of the hotel that we enjoyed. It has a kitchen all equipped or it's possible to make its own potato. The third happiness for us: we hadn't had the kitchen for more than two months.
