Finding a place to stay in Kuching when it comes to the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) is no doubt a dreaded task as Kuching does have limited hotels, and they are mostly fully booked during the packed fun filled festival which runs for three straight days.
The packed festival schedule makes it difficult for anyone to double back to Kuching City for a quick nap or bath, hence prompting the need to get a place nearby the festival ground, which makes it convenient to not only get that much needed bath, but also charge your devices.
On top of that, with bus shuttles taking some 30 minute to arrive in the city, a place to stay near the festival ground would not only save you cash but also time, which could be spent on resting and recharging.
That said, here’s the our list of hotels nearby the RWMF site which you could choose to book when you attend the award winning RWMF.
