Situated in Kuching, The Village House is just a 3-minute walk from Santubong Beach and a 7-minute drive from Santubong Mountain and the Sarawak Cultural Village. It houses an outdoor pool and offers free WiFi in its public areas. I'm lucky and surprised to have my room upgraded to double bed room from a single dorm bed since I'm a solo traveler. So nice, warm welcome and friendly staff hospitality throughout my 2 nights stay. A nice place to retreat and healing recharge from the daily hectic life in town. Recommended for travelers who need a calm and relaxing holidays.
