On our recent visit to Kuching for the world Hash House Harriers gathering, we stayed at this hotel for two weeks. Although the rooms weren't four star, they were well appointed, clean and comfortable. The hotel is currently undergoing some renovations, which will see improvements in the rooms. The thing that made this hotel an outstanding destination, was the frendliness and can do attitude of the staff. The restaurant in the hotel was excellent, with a fine selection of local and international food at very affordable prices. It is worth spending some time looking at the diplays in the downstairs area. As this hotel is run by the local native Eban, there is some very interesting artifacts on display.
One of the highlights of the stay, was visiting the Ruai Bar next door. An interesting and very frendly mix of locals who all enjoy a cleansing ale over a quiet chat with the tourists.
All in all, it was a great stay. We would not hesitate to come back again, and hopefully we will.

Staying at Telang USan Hotel for 3 days 2 nite.The rooms is okay but still need improvement.Cafe no service unless u call or else always stay behind the counter but the hotel manager was superb.his the person that really make the hotel lively n his very knowlgeable.Lastly the front office old lady to rude to be there.Btw we will back next year so keep the good work. :)

My wife & I chose this hotel from it's review in the Lonely Planet Guide. We wanted an affordable hotel with local touches, and we found the Telang Usan Hotel really special and unique. The coffee house and lobby were decorated with beautiful indigenous paintings & wood carvings. It seemed that the hotel was undergoing some renovations in their guest rooms during our stay, and we were offered their new guest rooms, which we found tastefully decorated, clean and extremely comfortable. The staff were also always attentive to our needs & gave information on tourist attractions in the vicinity. Food in the coffee house was cheap & tasty - we'd recommend the Sarawak Laksa, Chicken Madgascar & Oxtail stew. Give the kitchen a day's notice & they can come up with an excellent menu of native delights. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

room in bad shape, constructions going on during my stay
