No fuss and easy check in. Clean toilet, although the hot water bit off in the morning... Comfortable bed, surprisingly I managed to sleep well the night through. Location wise is quite alrite, almost everything is located within walking distance. But... Being right behind Top Spot seafood restaurants... At night it was noisy, they play the music a bit too...

We went in a group of 8 and stayed in the 2 room apartment. They were large and clean, never felt ever comfortable. The washing machine took ages to start though. The location is quite convenient, right next to top spot restaurant which is a good recommend by trip advisor. Not the best seafood I have eaten though, but good... More

I booked a 3 night special through Wotif for 2 superior rooms (4 single adults travelling). We arrived much earlier than standard checkin and were grateful that our rooms were ready and available to us. On our departure we were offered a late checkout and were able to store our baggage in their holding room until leaving for the airport... More

I love tha ariva as besides being spacious and comfortable for 4 of us, the location is within walking distance to the various shopping centers, souvenir shops and Kuching waterfront. It is also easy to get food around the area and our favourite was Medan selera just across the river. Only 50cts to get on the sampan and barely 5... More

Had stayed happily in these apartments a few times over the years when it was managed by the Somerset group. Ariva took over the management about 1 - 2years ago and sadly, nothing much has changed since the take-over. We booked online on Wotif for a 2BR Premier at RM360 nett (approx. USD120). We tried booking direct with the apartments... More

I and my husband spent a couple of nights at Ariva: the first night was booked online (to "test" the quality!), then we decided to extend our stay and the Management kept the same price even if not booked again online. The room with queen size bed was well furnished, spacious enough to place our 2 big luggages plus 2... More

I usually like to stay in a service apartment in a city so I was happy to choose Ariva. This is away from the relatively more crowded riverfront hotels and yet still very convenient in terms of proximity to 7-11/Secret recipe etc. (Btw - the cafe in the hotel only operates for breakfast). I was mostly happy with the room... More
