“Good Location. Modern Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We came to Brunei via the ferry from Kota Kinabalu and Labuan Island. We had no idea where we were going to stay but I saw this hotel from the bus. It was near to the bus station and because we were tired we didn't bother to look around. The price was a bit more than we would normally have paid but it was worth it. The rooms were very modern, large and clean. Not far to walk to the Mosque and other attractions. It is across from the canal so it is easy to pick up a water taxi (gondola) to travel up to the water village. Definitely worth looking at. There are night markets nearby with fantastic local food. Unfortunately we were there during Ramadan so the palace was not open. I wouldn't stay for much more than 2 or 3 days because there is not much to do in this city.

Clean but small rooms, friendly and helpfull staff and a good restaurant. Good place for a few days in town, you don't want to stay longer anyway, because Bandar Seri Begawan is quite boring.

“Modern, clean, convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011 via mobile

I was extremely pleased with the hotel. The place was modern and clean. The service was also very good, all the staff were very polite and the main reception staff remembered your name, my only comment would be that it was hard getting recommendations on places to go. I was lucky I did a bit of research before I went so I had a slight idea but it would have been nice to be provided with some suggestions. Although the staff tried their best to help.

It terms of location all the tourist attractions are within walking distance or short drive away. The main city area of brunie is not very large. But I would choose this hotel again because of the convenience and the cleanliness.

“Four star hotel with the three star rating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Definitely worth to be chosen in Bandar. Standard of the hotel is quite simple- let’s say Scandinavian if you know what I mean. But anyway it is spotlessly clean- rooms are very well equipped and the staff helpful - what is not really standard in Bandar. Breakfast buffet is quite limited in choice but you can find your favorite cornflakes, miso soup, toasts, fruits and fried eggs. You have for sure offered the best location in Bandar- close to the kampong Ayer , the Shopping Mall and all the Brunei attractions.

“Great location, price ... and a nice place to stay”

Flying Royal Brunei from Melbourne to London, we were faced with a 12 hour wait at the airport for connections, so decided to take a three day stopover in Brunei. Airport to hotel about $25 AUS by taxi - hotel picked us up for same price.

We found the hotel to be clean, well located and very reasonably priced.
Staff were very polite and friendly. Wifi worked! Room very comfortable and certainly value for money, especially as it included a reasonable breakfast.

Only issue was that we had booked an early arrival in the room and we had to sit in the lobby for almost three hours before room was available. AS this was prebooked and were quite tired, it was a little annoying. To balance it, I suppose, at the end of the stay we asked if ok to keep the room longer and this was easy to arrange.

Exchange rate at the hotel was very good - certainly better than Melbourne Airport :-)

Location is just metres from the market - grab a boat there for a tour around the village. Look for the boat with PADI on the side - great value, great bloke. We were invited to his home, etc. really made the trip for us!!!

Lots of places to eat nearby - quality restaurant on the river front, plenty of cafes and shopping nearby. Hotel has free bus to the large Mall (not that great by Australian standards but somewhere to visit)
