Hubby and I love this place very much. Basaga Holiday Residences. The environment is very calm, cool and relaxing. Lots of trees and very quiet. The entrance to the hotel is a small alley and you may just miss the turn if you didnt notice the signboard near to the road side. At night, it's a happening place and seems many local folks came over to enjoy the food at the restaurant area. Pool is always shady all the times, unfortunately the leaves keep on falling down to the water. I think hubby booked this hotel at ~Rm140+ price. If we came again, this place will be the choice.
Pool side, view from the room.
The verandah in front of the room. Room is fine, equip with basic necessity.
Bar area for breakfast. They provide a breakfast set for each person and semi buffet of bread toast, cereal. drink and fruits at the bar area.

Grand Magherita is the other hotel that we stayed in Kuching. Paying extra Rm200+ as we thought want to enjoy the swimming pool and nicer hotel. However, we don't really enjoy it so much compare to Basaga. The front desk gave us a smoking room and when hubby released about it, he was informed that all rooms are fully booked. Since the air-con is centralized, the air circulation is bad especially if there is someone smoking in another room. Location is good for this hotel. The hotel is at the town center. Cat monument is exactly in front of the hotel and Waterfront is just 5 minutes walking distance. Kid pool is reasonable but the playground is only located outdoor. It was raining almost whole day when we were there. So, the kids were stuck in the room.
