| Review of The LimeTree <b>Hotel</b>, <b>Kuching</b> Sarawak - Cuti-Cuti Malaysia Posted: 03 Oct 2014 12:08 AM PDT Strategically located in Kuching city centre, the hotel has up to 50 rooms and suites. The location of the hotel makes it easy for guests to walk to the nearby tourist's attractions such as Chinatown Padungan and Kuching Waterfront.  The Exterior of The LimeTree Hotel Image credit to The LimeTree Hotel Official Website The LimeTree hotel got its name from the owner's passion for limes, and the time spent at the family's plantation. The hotel was previously an office space. In 2007, the current owner had acquired the building, and renovation process commenced shortly after that. With lime concept in mind, the hotel's interior and exterior had been adapted to fulfil the refreshing idea, with its lime-inspired rooms. Furthermore, as green is the theme of the hotel, it had become a practice in the hotel to save the environment whenever possible, such as providing smoke-free environment and healthy foods. Besides, guests will feel right at home by experiencing the hospitality of the friendly staffs.  Bright and welcoming hotel lobby at The LimeTree Hotel Image credit to The LimeTree Hotel Official Website There are 42 rooms and 8 suites, complete with laminated wood flooring and furniture of neutral colours with bits of green colour. As the hotel is eco-friendly, it has only non-smoking rooms. Though, guests can smoke at the designated area such as the hotel outdoor and the rooftop.

The Private Dining & Parties can be held at Café Sublime or LimeLight Rooftop Lounge, for groups of 30-80 persons.  One of the events held at The LimeTree Hotel Image credit to The LimeTree Hotel Official Website Here is the review from the previous guests. The hotel receives mostly positive reviews for its friendly staff, the food, and its location, with shopping complexes such as Tun Jugah Mall, Sarawak Plaza and Riverside Plaza only a few hundred metres away within walking distance. The rooms are quite spacious and the complimentary Wi-Fi is also a plus. However, since the hotel is right next to a busy city junction, the noises from cars are unavoidable. It is recommended for tourists to stay at the hotel. It takes only about 25 minutes from Kuching International Airport, and to get to the city centre, you can walk for about 15 minutes west from the hotel. |
