The Amenities Location I initially booked just one night at Upspot Kuching Waterfront Premium Hostel, but ended up extending my stay for three more days—it’s that good! This place truly feels like a home away from home, offering everything a traveler could need. The amenities are top-notch: a well-equipped workspace (ideal for digital nomads!), a modern kitchen, cozy dining area, relaxing TV lounge, and even washing machines and dryers (a lifesaver for long-term stays). But the real standout is its location. Nestled near the Kuching Waterfront, you’re steps away from the riverfront promenade, historic attractions, charming cafes, and vibrant local markets. Exploring the city couldn’t be easier! Whether you’re passing through for a night or settling in longer, Upspot delivers comfort, convenience, and great value. I’d return in a heartbeat—highly recommended for solo travelers, couples, or anyone seeking a clean, social, and well-located stay. Don’t miss this gem! 🌟

Special thanks to the lady at reception, she is super! So friendly and helpful! My room was simple. Quite big and practical. Bed was good to sleep. WiFi and aircon were working, hot water at shower. Very good and friendly place for the price.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
