Kuching's BEST View! 2BR Luxury Condo near Vivacity Megamall! - A (Mostly) Brilliantly Messy Review
Okay, friends, buckle up, because I just spent a week in Kuching at the “Kuching's BEST View! 2BR Luxury Condo near Vivacity Megamall!” (that's a mouthful, isn't it?). I’m here to give you the real, unfiltered scoop, the good, the slightly-less-good, and the "OMG, I NEED TO GO BACK’s!" Prepare for a journey. This won't be your textbook review, this is what actually happened.
First Impressions: Location, Location, (Almost) Perfection!
So, let's tackle the basics. Accessibility is pretty spot-on. Getting to Vivacity Megamall (which, let's be honest, is a HUGE draw) was a breeze, even with my questionable sense of direction. The condo itself is easy to find and the car park [free of charge]? Absolute gold. Especially when you’re hauling luggage and all that "must-have" souvenir stuff. Car park [on-site]? Yep, plenty of space. Airport transfer? Offered. Thank heavens because after a long flight, the last thing you want is to navigate a new city alone.
Rambling Thought: I REALLY wanted a scooter, y'know? Cruising around Kuching on two wheels… Totally romantic, but the bicycle parking was a bit limited, so maybe next time…
The View, Oh, The View!
The name isn't lying. "BEST View" isn't hyperbole. Seriously, from the moment I walked in, my jaw dropped. Big windows. City lights twinkling. Seriously, I spent the first hour just staring. Pure bliss. The high floor location is a major win! The terrace? Perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Speaking of, I wish I had a picture of my face the first time I saw the sunset, the colors were so intense!
Rooms & Amenities: Luxury, with a Few Hiccups
Let’s dive into the details:
- Rooms: The 2BR condo was spacious! Plenty of room to spread out. Non-smoking rooms are a must! I was super glad for that. No cigarette smell in my face. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, essential in Kuching's heat. Extra long bed? Yup, I was so happy about that! And the blackout curtains? Saved my sanity from jetlag. Air conditioning in public area? Yes! Always a plus in hot and humid Kuching.
- Bathroom: Bathtub, separate shower/bathtub? They had it. The toiletries were decent. I was super happy about that. The bathrobes and slippers were a nice touch, made me feel like I was treating myself.
- Tech: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! Streamed my shows and blasted some music, no problems at all. Internet access – wireless was reliable. I could actually check emails for once without a problem!
- Stuff that Matters: They definitely paid attention to the small stuff. Coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, free bottled water. Thank you for the little things that make life better. Safe box! Always appreciate that added peace of mind.
The Imperfections:
Okay, time for honesty hour. The closet space could have been a bit better. And the soundproofing wasn’t perfect. You might hear some occasional chatter from the hallway. And there was one day when the daily housekeeping seemed a bit… rushed. But honestly, it’s minor stuff, and in the grand scheme of things, it's all manageable.
Food, Glorious Food (and the occasional food-related anxiety):
This is Kuching, people! Food is LIFE.
- Restaurants: There are restaurants nearby, but I'm a foodie, and I'm gonna keep it real, the condo itself doesn't have any. Bummer! If I had to choose, I'd rate the food scene "OK" but I also only ate there a couple of times.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: I was so happy about the breakfast takeaway service. I could grab some food and bring them back to my room. Sometimes when I get dressed, I like to be left alone, you know?
Let's talk safety:
I am so happy that the condo had security [24-hour]. So that I could sleep easily at night. Also really loved that there were CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. I can never be too safe, and I really appreciated the effort.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: A Mixed Bag
Okay, this is where things get… interesting. The condo itself doesn’t have a ton of on-site options for relaxing. No pool with view, no sauna, no spa/sauna, no steamroom… But hey, you're in Kuching! The whole city is a giant adventure park!
Rambling thought: I would have loved if the condo had a spa. All that exploring and eating…my body would have thanked me!
Cleanliness & Safety: A Sigh of Relief
In a post-pandemic world, this is HUGE. They were pretty good with this. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Daily disinfection in common areas. Rooms sanitized between stays? Good stuff! Staff trained in safety protocol. Made me feel safe.
Overall Experience: Would I go back? HELL YES.
Despite the few bumps, this condo is a winner. The view alone is worth the price of admission. First aid kit, fire extinguisher, smoke alarms, it had all of the safety stuff down. The location is fantastic, and the condo itself is comfortable and stylish. If you're looking for a base to explore Kuching, with that epic view, book this!
My Quirky Takeaways:
- The alarm clock was… loud. Very, very loud. I might have jumped a few times.
- I swear, I went through about a dozen rolls of toilet paper. Don’t judge.
- The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. They made the experience even better.
Final Verdict: This is not flawless. But it's a fantastic option. And that view… swoon.

Moscow's Most Exclusive Secret: US Embassy Apartment on Arbat!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is the chaotic, beautiful, slightly-hungover version of my Kuching adventure at TR Homestay Vivacity Megamall! (Jazz 3, 2BR, Level 9… gotta get those details right, you know, in case the internet ever needs to verify my existence.)
Day 0: Arrival & Apartment Awesomeness (Plus a Panic Attack)
- Morning (Okay, more like early afternoon, because… travel): Landed in Kuching! Huzzah! Smells like… well, it smells like Malaysia. Spicy. Tropical. Possibly a hint of exhaust fumes from the bus I almost missed. Breathe, people! First impression: humidity. Like, my hair is already rebelling.
- Afternoon: Uber to Vivacity Megamall. Found the homestay. Level 9! (That elevator ride felt like forever, I get easily freaked out by heights.) The apartment itself? Seriously, stunning! Modern, clean, panoramic view. I'm talking Instagram-worthy. Literally, the first thing I did was take a picture. Five of them. Then I realized I hadn't eaten since breakfast. Panic sets in.
- Evening: Grocery run! Managed to find some instant noodles, local fruits (Rambutan! So good!), and a suspicious-looking bottle of something labeled "Tiger Beer." Back at the apartment, feeling like a legit Kuching resident. Ate the instant noodles while staring at the city lights. The view is so pretty, but I'm so worried about the next day, I can't take it.
Day 1: Culture Shock (and Street Food Bliss) - A Rollercoaster, baby!
- Morning: Slept in! Needed it. Woke up to that view again, still mesmerizing. I wanted to actually get up early. I tried. Couldn't.
- Late Morning: Finally rallied. Figured the Sarawak Museum was a good place to start. Wow. Just, wow. So much history. So many skulls. (Okay, maybe not smiling at that particular exhibit for quite a while.) Some parts are pretty dusty, some exhibitions are very thought-provoking. The people watching outside was pretty rad.
- Afternoon: Street food adventure! This is where things took a turn for the glorious. Found a stall with Laksa Sarawak. Oh. My. God. The broth! The noodles! The shrimp! My taste buds were performing a happy dance. Ate the whole dang bowl. Then, in a moment of pure bliss and questionable decision-making, I got a second one. And a third. The waiter was looking at me, like "you okay, mate?"
- Evening: A nice walk around the city centre. There was a nice riverside place where there was a lively atmosphere, with a lot of street performers. Amazing music, I actually enjoyed it!
- Late Evening: Back at the homestay. I was already looking forward to tomorrow! I made a reservation in the morning for a spa treatment.
Day 2: The Spa (and a Near Catastrophe)
- Morning: The spa. Ahhhh. The massage was heavenly. The aroma was the first time I felt the most relaxed I have felt in a while. I loved it. I wanted to stay.
- Afternoon: I got lost. Legitimately lost. Wandered off down a side street, the GPS glitched out, and suddenly I'm surrounded by buildings, no idea where I was or which way to go. Panic rising. Luckily, I'm a genius. In like, under 20 minutes, I got around to the original route towards the homestay. The joy was back.
- Evening: Took a dip in the pool at the apartment complex. The best way to end the day!
Day 3: Bako National Park (and Mosquito Mayhem)
- Morning: Woke up bright and early this time! Determined to conquer Bako National Park. I booked a tour. The boat ride was bumpy, and I'm pretty sure my stomach did a few flips.
- Afternoon: Into the jungle we went! Monkeys everywhere! Proboscis monkeys with their ridiculous noses! The views were insane, like something out of a movie.
- Afternoon, Part 2: (The Mayhem): MOSQUITOS. I mean, they feasted on me. I was practically a blood donor by the end of it. Got bitten so many times, I looked like I had chickenpox. Itchiness level: nuclear.
- Evening: Back in Kuching. I was tired! Tired but happy. Ended up eating a huge dinner.
Day 4: Farewell (and the Promise of Instant Noodles)
- Morning: Last breakfast at the homestay. Honestly, going to miss the view. I ordered some takeaway, packed my bags. Goodbye Kuching! You were crazy.
- Afternoon: Travel. Waiting at the airport. So ready to go back home.
Key Takeaways:
- Kuching is a vibrant, beautiful, and occasionally mosquito-infested paradise.
- Laksa Sarawak is everything. You should get some.
- Always carry bug spray. Actually, bathe in it.
- Don't be afraid to get lost. It's part of the adventure (although, maybe try not to get too lost…).
- The TR Homestay Vivacity Megamall Jazz 3 apartment? Highly recommended. The view alone is worth it. Even if it gives you slightly panic-induced anxiety.
- Travel is messy, beautiful, and utterly unpredictable. And that's what makes it awesome.
Okay, spill the tea! Is the view ACTUALLY good at "Kuching's BEST View! 2BR Luxury Condo near Vivacity Megamall!"? I mean, REALLY good? Don't hold back!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because the view...the view is a whole freakin' experience. So, I went there expecting, you know, decent. Like, maybe you could see some city lights, a distant palm tree, the standard fare. Dude. NOPE. Think panoramic, Instagram-worthy, jaw-dropping... actually, my jaw actually *did* drop the first time. I almost tripped over the sofa, I was so stunned.
Imagine this: you're sipping your morning coffee (or, let's be real, a potent Bloody Mary after a long day) on the balcony. And instead of staring at the back of some other building, you're gazing at a sprawling cityscape that practically *breathes*. You see all of Kuching sprawling below, the jungle hugging the edge of the city. And beyond it? The Sarawak River, winding like a lazy python, glinting in the sun. It's freakin’ magical. I swear I saw a couple of hornbills flying by ONCE. I'm not even kidding. It was SO surreal. Okay, it probably wasn't, but it felt like it.
Here's the thing though: the view is *dynamic*. It changes with the light. Watching a thunderstorm roll in from that vantage point? Epic. Sunsets? Prepare to become a blubbering mess of adoration. I swear I've forgotten entire afternoons just staring out the window.
"Luxury Condo" – right. Sounds fancy. What's the ACTUAL vibe inside the condo? Is it all sterile and pretentious? Or is it a comfy place to call home?
Look, I’ve stayed in places that scream “DESIGNER! DO NOT TOUCH!” This place is NOT that. It's definitely luxurious, don't get me wrong. The furniture is stylish, the kitchen is well-equipped (and yes, I did accidentally set off the smoke alarm while trying to make toast… don't judge!), and the beds are cloud-like. But It’s not like a museum. It's designed to be *lived* in. I mean, the sofa is so incredibly comfy, I once fell asleep on it fully dressed, during the day. It’s that good.
It has a warm feel. I was there during a massive storm, and I stayed inside, it felt safe and really comfortable. Actually, I think I had too much wine that night. Regardless, it felt just right, that's what I'm saying.
And the 2BR design is genius. Even though it's 'luxury' it's actually not too much. Honestly, it's well-thought-out. There’s space to spread out, but it still feels cozy. And you know, I really appreciate having a washing machine in the unit. The laundry pile… it’s a real issue for me normally.
Vivacity Megamall – Okay, so it's *near* the mall. Is it actually walkable? Because, you know, Kuching is all about that delicious hawker food.
Alright, so the "near" part? It's blessedly true. I mean, it's not *right* on top of it, but it's totally walkable. And by walkable, I mean, you can stroll there in something like, five minutes. Maybe seven if you're, you know, really, really taking in the Kuching atmosphere and stopping to admire all the stray cats. (Of which there are many. And they are all adorable!).
This is a HUGE win. Because Vivacity is like, a hub. You have everything there. From the mall – loads of shops, movies, all the usual suspects. To, and this is the important part: FOOD. So much glorious, cheap, delicious food. You can literally go get your Laksa Sarawak fix and be back in the condo before your coffee even cools. Bliss, I tell you. Pure, unadulterated bliss. The only downside is the temptation to eat everything in sight! Which I did, by the way. Regrets? Zero.
Let's get practical. Is it noisy? Parking? Wi-Fi? Tell me the stuff that actually matters.
Alright, pragmatic time. Noise? Honestly, it was pretty quiet. Especially high up. Of course, this depends on your tolerance. I'm a light sleeper and didn't get disturbed. I think the higher you went up, the less likely you are to get noises.
Parking: Decent. There's parking! It’s a secure area. I didn't get stressed about it, which is a win in my book. (I have a tiny car and get easily intimidated by parking garages.)
Wi-Fi: Strong and reliable. I worked remotely the whole time and didn't have a single issue. And streaming? Smooth as butter. I watched a shocking amount of TV, if I'm being honest. I’m not even sorry.
One tiny, tiny thing: the stairs to the elevator might be a little long. It's really minor, though. On a scale of 1 to earthquake, it was a 1.9.
Is it worth the money? Be brutally honest! Would you stay there again?
Alright, here’s the truth bomb: YES. Absolutely, unequivocally, YES. Look, I'm not rich. I'm not exactly rolling in dough. But this place… it felt like a little slice of heaven. For the price of a decent hotel room (and honestly, probably less than some of the fancier ones), you get this amazing view, a comfy space, and all the conveniences.
Would I stay there again? In a heartbeat. In fact, I'm already trying to work out when I can go back. I'm already dreaming of those sunsets. And the Laksa. And the peace and quiet. Okay, maybe I'm a little obsessed. Maybe I need to check myself into therapy. But mostly, I just need to book my next trip.
Okay, fine, I’m sold. But… what about getting around Kuching? Is it easy to get to all the touristy stuff?
Alright, excellent question! Getting around is pretty darn easy. The condo location itself is a huge bonus. It allows easy access to Vivacity Megamall, which means lots of possibilities. The city center (where you'll find the famous Kuching Waterfront and some awesome historical sites) is a short taxi or Grab ride away. Grab is readily available in Kuching – super convenient, cheap, and no haggling needed. I used it all the time. Literally, ALL the time. Except for when I walked to Vivacity, of course!
The key is to plan your day a bit. Kuching isn’t massive, so getting from place to place isn’t too time-consumingLuxury Stay Blog
