Bandar Seri Begawan is a city of two terrains: the stilted water villages that make up some of the city's historic aquatic districts stretch out into the sea, while drier districts spread out over the flatter areas of land. The beaches around the area offer vibrant undersea life, drawing scuba enthusiasts and snorkelers from around the world. Above ground the gold-domed Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque dazzles with its intricate marble design and museums provide ample cultural stimulation.

LOVE- lots of basement parking, no need to worry about car parking. The lift is a short distance from any park which is convenient. The pool is sheltered from the sun for the majority of the day, and with the temperature in Brunei getting anywhere from 26-35 degrees that’s a definite bonus. We swam every morning and some afternoons. Our room had two queen beds, fantastic for us, two adults and one 4 year old that might require a bed buddy! The beds were reasonable, with good pillows and the aircon was just right. The room is a decent size, with coffee and tea available, the small fridge was very convenient for us, also bottles water is dropped off daily. There is a restaurant and a cafe within the hotel, we did not visit however, lots of people were enjoying their food when we would walk past. The room attendants made up our room to a high standard everyday with fresh towels and bathroom conveniences. I liked the shampoo in particular. LOATHE- the poor homeless dog crying at night time and the 7 times a day passing by of blaring cars carrying important people to wherever they were heading! Overall we loved the place, it is an average hotel with great service, nice rooms and convenient for travelling around Bandar.

Great quarantine stay for family

Reviewed By katherinel495

We stayed here for our quarantine and it was a very decent experience. We booked a suite- 2 rooms(en-suite) and it was set up as an apartment with its own kitchen. Dining and living areas. There is even a washing machine given for your own laundry. 3 meals a day was included as our quarantine package where the menu is decent and you can also upgrade with advance order before meal times. For the price one is paying, don’t expect 5 start hotels but a very decent stay with good WiFi for work and studies for us.

Enjoyed my isolation/quarantine stay!

Reviewed By mr-bert-lee

Stayed here for my seven days’ isolation. My room is on a segregated floor in the hotel - quite the VIP experience with my own lift and escorted straight to my room upon arrival. The room was huge, basically a small suite with a living room and space to move around. The meals were lovely - I would recommend the Asian option for lunch and dinner, and the Western option for breakfast (you may need to specify this as they may make assumptions based on your passport). Staff and the duty manager were friendly and helpful. They even sent up a surprise birthday cake! Great value for money. I would definitely come here again for future isolation/quarantine stays.

Good Hotel good location .

Reviewed By sandeepmuramen

Perhaps the cheapest hotel in Brunei offering good clean , big rooms , with amenities like tv , fridge , free drinking water and safe ambience . The location is 10 minutes approx 700 meters away from Water front and the bus stand where buses from Kota Kinabalu and Miri depart and arrive. 500 meters from the local bus stand. The hotel has a coffee shop which sells set breakfast. They provide unlimited RO drinking water in jugs from the reception. Nearest restaurant around 600 meters . It is safe in Brunei so does not matter if you walk in the dark at night. Bonus, free airport drop off. I even did not know about it the reception lady informed me at the time of checkout or else is was going to take 1 dollar bus ride which takes around 45 minutes. It gave me time to visit the museum and buy some food to have at the airport . I suggest the hotel very much.

Transit stay

Reviewed By Sid5515

Stayed here few times in January & February 2021 for short refreshment and transit. Hotel location is quite closed to the airport and has shopping mall, shops and restaurant below. Rooms are tidy and clean but the water from the tap sometimes are not clean/ clear. Parking are available for hotel visitors but sometimes it is unattended by the crew to clear/ relocate the cone/ barricade at the car park. Preferred white light compared to the current yellow dim light, as I need to have bright condition to do my task in the room.
