This hotel is highly recommended when visiting Brunei; you absolutely must experience it, it's truly wonderful. It feels like an estate, a royal estate! The facilities are complete and have everything you could need, the sea view is also beautiful, and the rooms are very comfortable. It's just too good to be true!
The hotel is about a 25-minute drive from the airport!
Hotel service: Excellent. They will guide you to your room and explain everything carefully. There are shuttle buses between buildings because the property is so large!
Hotel facilities: Very comprehensive, including a gym, club, theater, beach, and restaurants (the restaurants aren't cheap though).
Check-out time: 11:00 AM, so please keep that in mind!

I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Brunei. Thank you for making my stay a pleasant one! ❤️

Guest UserThe hotel is located quite far from the city center, but it does provide a free shuttle service to and from the airport. It is also not very close to the sea; however, this is not a major issue since swimming is prohibited at the nearby beaches anyway. Additionally, there are no cafes or shops within walking distance of the hotel, which makes the location even less convenient. The prices at the hotel’s cafe are overpriced.
The hotel’s design feels somewhat outdated, but nothing critical. What was truly disappointing, however, was the service. The hotel presents itself as a 4-star property, yet it is surprisingly strict about a very basic necessity — drinking water. Guests are provided with only one bottle of water per person per day.
There is coffee and tea available in the room, but to boil the kettle you need additional drinking water, which the staff refused to provide. They insisted that water had already been supplied during housekeeping and that no more was allowed. We had to keep asking for it as if they were personally paying for it themselves. That was extremely unpleasant.
The tap water is yellow, and there were also issues with the hot water.
Only one person works at the reception desk, which is clearly insufficient for a hotel with this many rooms, resulting in long waiting times. The reception staff are not knowledgeable about nearby attractions and do not assist with arranging tours, suggesting that guests find everything out on their own.
Unfortunately, the overall service was extremely disappointing.

The hotel is new and the service is great. It's within walking distance to Hua Ho Department Store, though you do have to pass through a somewhat precarious section (no lights at night and no sidewalk). The adult pool on the upper floor is very large, and besides the kiddie pool, there are also excellent water play facilities for children. From the rooftop, you can see the Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, and it's close to many attractions. There's a spacious area for parking right in front of the hotel, and a nice cafe right next door.

Guest UserI stayed here for 5 nights. The living room and bedroom were separate, and it even had a kitchen, which was almost too spacious for one person. The shower pressure was a bit weak, but the water was plenty hot. Breakfast was delicious, though it was pretty much the same every day, so a little more variety would have been nice. Most importantly, the location was fantastic. There's a large shopping mall right next door with a Daiso and Marugame Seimen inside, and you can easily grab a meal at the food court. Plus, it was super convenient to walk to the night market, just across a small bridge, in under 10 minutes.

うなぎ0829I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Brunei.
Unlike resort hotels like The Empire Brunei, this one is quite convenient for spending time in the city.
The location was particularly good. It's in the Gadong area, close to shopping malls and restaurants, making it easy to go out for dinner or shopping at night. Gadong Night Market was also easily accessible, making it a convenient base for exploring Brunei.
The hotel itself shows a bit of age in some parts, but the common areas and rooms were spacious, and the overall atmosphere was calm.
I also had breakfast. There was a decent variety of food, and it was nice to enjoy a leisurely meal in the morning.
Brunei's public transportation isn't very convenient, so having restaurants and shopping nearby was more helpful than I expected.
My impression is that if you want to 'enjoy a resort experience within the hotel,' choose The Empire; if you 'prioritize convenience for city strolls and dining,' then this hotel is a better option.
If you're focusing on city sightseeing in Brunei, this is a well-located and easy-to-use hotel.

Guest UserThis was my first time using this hotel for business. While there aren't many commercial facilities nearby, the rooms are clean, the environment is pleasant, and the proximity to the airport and shuttle service are convenient. The hotel cafe is also relaxing.

The hotel service was great. People at the reception and the drivers that collected me back and forth to the airport were really very helpful. It is also around 3 minutes away from the airport which is great as you don’t need to worry about traffic. Hotel transfers to and from the airport were also free. The room is very comfortable and seems clean. However, I noticed that there was a plastic bottle which was half empty which might have been left by the previous occupier. So I was worried what else was not changed or done. However, the rest of my experience was great. Will definitely come back next time.

Guest UserWe enjoyed our one-night stay with my friends. We stayed there for our hiking trip. They granted us a late check-out until 1:00 PM.
Breakfast was alright. I wish they had soup options like corn or mushroom, and more fruit selections—there was only watermelon (not sweet) However, the main courses were delicious.
Wi-Fi on Level 5 was not stable. The swimming pool was closed for some reason. We called the reception 3x, but no one picked up.
Other than that, we were happy with our stay and would recommend it.
