Borneo Seahare Hostel

Great Place to Stay!
Whether staying for a day or a month, I'd definitely recommend staying at Borneo Seahare. From the moment they picked me up from the airport, Wesley and Teresa were fantastic hosts for the month I stayed there. The hostel is spotless and really well maintained, and there's all day breakfast and water which is great, as well as hot showers. Location is very central and you can easily walk to everything important. Even better is the huge amount of information and advice they can give you about all the amazing things to see around Kuching. I think it was also the little things that made this place so good -- thoughtful things like making sure you can eat the bread if you have allergies. If you're staying for a bit longer then, be warned, you may be involved in various city festivals! Great fun though. Overall I had a great time staying here, great place and even better hosts.

I was met at the airport although my flight was one hour late and Wesley and Teresa were nonplussed by this. They also took me to the hospital as I had to have some stitches removed from a head wound. Very helpful and pleasant couple. They explained where to go and what buses to use. At the time I was the only guest so it was fine. It was very clean and the cutlery and crockery was spotless. They left cereal, bread, tea,coffee, and milk. As they were not there, Wesley's mother came one day with extra bread and some cakes, a very nice gesture. My recommendations would be to have a mirror in the bedrooms or the passageway and a settee or easy chairs near the computer would make it feel more cosy. Also a decent TV and or a radio would have been nice, especially as I was alone. My only fear would be that if the hostel was full, it would be rather crowded as there were only two toilets/showers. However overall a very pleasant place to stay and not too noisy.
