The best place to stay when you're in downtown Bandar Seri Begawan, honestly! The location of the hotel is unbeatable, the staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast is tasty, the rooms are clean and cozy and there's free drinking water on every floor. There's not a single negative thing I could say about this place. You are lucky if the hotel isn't fully booked and you get a room! :-)

This is a great location and walking distance to all the major monuments and transport and mall As there was construction on going there was some noise but staff had informed us beforehand. Breakfast options are great and would recommend

Perfect for site seeing , this is walking distance to many of the main tourist attractions. The from desk always has two people greeting you there . They can use the hotel shuttle to take you to the big mall or big mosque and palace . But you must set up a schedule, I told one desk staffer that I wanted to go to the main mosque tomorrow. I told him but did not schedule, someone else scheduled the van for another trip . Plenty of casual places to eat and shop near by . The hotel has a very nice restaurant on the ground floor rooms are spacious and spotless .

My solo trip to Brunei

I was happy with my stay here - clean bathroom, spacious bedroom, friendly staff. The hotel is within walking distance to the Royal Regalia Museum, the Saifuddien mosque & the Yayasan shopping mall. The hotel arranged for a private tour for me for a reasonable price which included the city tour & tour of Kampong Ayer & the mangove forest. There is also a complimentary shuttle to the Gadong Night Market. I would stay here again.

Old Charm in New Form

The Brunei is unpretentious. yet provides excellent service not inferior to 5* hotels. Visiting the Sultanate during Ramadan was interesting and challenging and the Brunei managed to accommodate foreign tourists with great service and sensitivity. We are totally satisfied with our stay at The Brunei.

Very clean. Staff was excellent. Breakfast was good. Room was comfy but a bit small. Shuttle service was really nice to have. Location of hotel is great - super close to water village and many other attractions. Only complaint is that it took at least 20 minutes to get hot water in the shower even though we were only on the second floor. Overall a very good stay and I would recommend this hotel.

Good

Everything is good here. Convenient location that msny tourist hotspots and shopping malls are in walkable distance. The bus terminal is just outside the hotel that you can easily travel around the city although there is nearly no proper public transport system in the country. The only defect if really need to find one is that the breakfast choice is relatively limited.

6/10 Good

Only plus point it’s location is centralised. Service provided was “so so”, would have stayed at the first hotel when I was in Brunei - Radisson ! Hotel charged guest $25 per person to airport ! Took Dart ( Uber version ) & it’s only @$12 !!!! For breakfast , Ordered beverage at the counter as the coffee was not nice! And was charged , was only informed after we drank ! So end up need to pay @$10 !! But I reasons out / negotiate with hotel staff that the last day we will check out early thus unable to have breakfast at the hotel eventhough payment so why not waive the $10!!! But NO !! They didn’t! It’s not abt the payment it’s the small thing hotel can provide / give to guest so that we feel welcome , appreciated ! I have stayed in Swiss , Hamburg & Frankfurt hotel with no problem . Service was tip top and they went an extra mile for guest ! Anyway another observation,we witness a maintenance was being carried out but the door was open wide!!! to a corridor that outsiders can enter & can go straight up to guest rooms ! OMG !!! that’s it ….not returning to this hotel!!
