(Translated by Google) The wooden floors and tiles were spotless, and the bathroom was impeccably clean. In the evenings, I sat on the semi-open balcony, soaking in the tranquility of Kuching. Occasionally, I'd see travelers reading, using computers, or cooking, accompanied by the owner's two cats – a truly peaceful and comfortable experience. A room costs approximately NT$603 per night including the tourism tax. If you have travel companions, it's about NT$302 per person, roughly US$10, which fits within a typical accommodation budget. Eight-person backpacker rooms are also available. The neighborhood is conveniently located. Downstairs is Cai Shuang Shun Tea House (their Laksa is also quite good), and a short walk away is a popular local shop selling kueh and tofu pudding, as well as a coffee and tea house converted from a hardware store. The day before I left, it rained heavily – a real downpour. After dinner, I returned to my accommodation to find my clothes drying under the eaves of the balcony gone! It turned out they had been rescued before getting soaked by the rain, carefully folded and placed in a basket outside my room. I'm truly grateful for this quiet, thoughtful care. During my leisurely time in Kuching, I stayed in three traditional wooden guesthouses. Although Kuching is located in the tropics, the abundance of trees means that as long as there's good ventilation, air conditioning isn't really necessary. These traditional wooden buildings were just like that—simple and unpretentious, yet surprisingly cool. My top recommendation is Marco Polo Guesthouse. If I ever return to Kuching, I will definitely stay here again. Amenities: WiFi, air conditioning, hot and cold water dispenser, kitchen, clothes drying area, paid washing machine None: Hair dryer (Original) 木地板與磁磚一塵不染，浴廁也極度乾淨。 晚上坐在半露天陽台發呆，感受古晉的閒適，偶有旅人在看書、用電腦，也有旅人在煮飯，還有主人的兩隻貓作伴，豐富又自在。 一間房一晚含觀光稅約nt603，若有旅伴當分母的話一人302元，10美金搞定，符合平常住宿預算範圍，也有八人背包房可以選擇。 附近生活機能方便，樓下是蔡雙順茶室（這家的Laksa也不錯），走幾步路有間當地人很多的水粿與豆花店，還有一間用五金行改造的咖啡茶室。 離開前一日下起了大雨，下貓下狗的那種。 晚餐後回到住處，晾曬在陽台屋簷下的衣服不見了！ 原來在被大雨潑濕之前就被拯救起來，被細心摺疊好的衣服收納在籃子裡，籃子放在我房間門口。 這種靜靜地被照顧著的貼心，真是感謝。 在古晉慢慢生活的日子，總共住了三間木造傳統屋型旅店。 雖然古晉地處熱帶，但因為樹木極多，只要通風良好，其實並不需要依賴冷氣。這幾間傳統木造建築正是如此，簡單樸實卻意外地涼爽。 最推薦的旅宿是Marco Polo Guesthouse， 如果再回到古晉，我一定會再回來住這裡。 有：WiFi、冷氣、冷熱水飲水機、廚房、曬衣處、付費洗衣機 無：吹風機

Sam is the man! I came to Kuching at the end of Dec '24 to see the city and explore Bako and Santubong. I stayed at Marco Polo Guesthouse for 3 nights. From the get go Sam was super welcoming and friendly. He asked me all about my plans and helped me make the best of them. The rooms were nice, it felt relaxing and like a home. There was a nice, laid atmosphere to the place. I would stay here again! 🙂
