Good Location/ very small room

I stayed here for 3 nights, a Very small room single bed, room 8' x 10' including the bathroom/shower. No amenities just some soap. No air just a stand-up fan, a small window, no view but another window. Good location close to many restaurants, malls, waterfront, ok WIFI, the staff very helpful, and cats. Seems all places have cats Kuching mean cat. Rules are all about the cat many don'ts, #1 rule don't let the cats out. They stand by the door waiting for someone to come in and they dart out the door lucky she went upstairs so easy to catch to bring her back in. The kitchen and the front desk is downstairs where the dorms are.

Backpacker-friendly; Great value for your money

I had a good stay overall at Woodpecker Lodge for 4 nights. The staff here is super friendly & helpful. It is an absolutely backpacker-friendly place, and a great place to stay in Kuching for such an excellent price. They also offer tours & airport transfers here. I didn’t book any tours with them as I decided to do everything independently but they were very helpful in letting me know where to catch the bus to the places I wanted to visit. Woodpecker Lodge is in a very good location as it’s close to restaurants (you can even just go downstairs & find a restaurant next door), 7-11 convenience stores, banks/ATMS (right at the corner), city sights & the riverwalk, and bus stop to Bako Nat’l Park (1 block away). The room I stayed in was definitely a budget room for a solo traveler - with a twin bed, separated by a see-through glass divider & door to the toilet / bathroom. There is a hot water shower, but the water pressure kept changing and so did the temperature, so that was very annoying. My room had no A/C, just a fan, but that was fine for me. WiFi worked pretty well in the room.

It was hard to find anyone to help you after checkin. The desk was seldom maned. Dogs were barking all night on one of my nights and there was loud noise coming from across the river until 1 am and starting again at 5 am

Friendly place close to the river

The staff here are great! They had mixed up our arrival date, and we'd had a 1am pick-up scheduled at the airport. They did not come, but I called and they were there within 15 minutes and did not charge us for the shuttle since they had messed up. They have a small kitchen and private bathrooms (no hot water). The Wi-Fi works well. It is close to the riverfront, and several restaurants and shops. Kuching is a very easy city to get around. Oliver also gave us great tips for our visit to Bako National Park!

Great owner but little sleep!

The positives for this place are: really comfy bed and decent pillow, the owner is a wealth of information and can give you some great tips and advice for your time in Sarawak. The negatives are: the owner is rarely around so you need to have a phone if you want to contact him and sometimes when you just need a question answered or letting into reception it can be frustrating. The shower pressure was very hit and miss, could be a dribble or a power hose. However the main drawback of this place is the Kareoke bar below. It was unbearably loud from about 10pm to often 5am. Obviously it depends on your sleeping abilities but I have stayed above bars before and this was the worst. I could still here the thudding music through ear plugs and it would sometimes wake me up if I had managed to doze off. Make your own decision on the noise but I would say it could be worth staying a night to get the useful info from the owner.

Good holiday locale

Arrived late and was greeted nicely. Room was good with recently renovated bathroom. The owner are amazing. Very helpful and super friendly. They really made my visit special. Close to supermarkets, bus, tour companies (although the owner has great recommendations) and right on the river to walk not far to the main strip (not even 5 minutes away)

Die Zimmer sind zwar sehr klein aber sauber und völlig ausreichend, ist ja nur zum Schlafen. Die Lage ist hervorragend, direkt am Sarawak River und an der schönen Promenade. Das besondere an dieser Unterkunft ist der Rooftop. Hier trifft man sich abends und kann gut Kontakte knüpfen. Oliver, der Inhaber, ist sehr freundlich. Ich kann die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.
