Woodpecker Lodge, Kuching Sarawak.

Woodpecker Lodge is a simple hostel set in an old shophouse in the heart of Kuching. You'll find us on a street just a short walk from the Main Bazaar and the waterfront. The area is always alive with activity. Downstairs, you can find small coffee shops and local eateries. The building itself is basic but clean, reflecting the character of the old town. It is a good starting point for anyone who wants to explore the city on foot without needing to take a Grab everywhere.

This place is best for backpackers and solo travelers who need a functional base. It’s not a hotel, so the focus is on shared spaces where you can meet people. There is a small common area and a basic kitchen if you want to make your own coffee. Rooms are straightforward with options for dorms or private rooms, all with air-conditioning. We provide lockers for your valuables. The real convenience is having everything you need, like a 24-hour convenience store and a laundromat, just around the corner.

People choose to stay here because it is practical. Your budget goes further, letting you spend more on trips to the national parks or on trying all the local food. The main reason to book is the location. You can walk to the Sarawak Museum, the Cat Statue, and the river taxi jetties in minutes. Our staff are locals and can give you solid advice on the best places to eat kolo mee or how to arrange a bus to Semenggoh. It's a smart, no-fuss choice for your stay in Sarawak.
