New Rejang Inn

Sarawak


A welcoming, well-run hotel whose 15 spotless, good-sized rooms come with comfortable mattresses, hot water, TV, phone and mini-fridge. Easily the best-value accommodation in town. A discount of RM10 on the rack rates is often there for the asking. The friendly owners have plenty of tips about eating in Kapit, onward travel and staying in local longhouses.
