Bathroom fan is on 24/7. Shower doors broken won’t close. Lack of hot water (6 min max). Extremely Leaky toilet. Leaky bidet hose. Broken air conditioner remote. Loud generator sounds throughout the day/night. Kettle cannot fit under the sink at all to refill water. Lacking “do not disturb” door sign. Loud sounds from water pipes. Cafe inside the hotel doesn’t operate. Cafe outside of the hotel is cash only. Stray dogs wandering around.

Transit hotel ok, anything else look elsewhere.
Shuttle bus from airport to hotel departed late, we had to wait for more than 1 hour for all the hotel guest to arrive at the waiting area. The bus did not have any space for our luggage. Had to find another van to bring us to the hotel. No lift to the rooms, had to leave bags in the reception. Almost midnight by the time we checked in - too tired, no change of clothes, room bed and furniture looks old. Air-con blew at best luke warm air and bath/toilet has seen better days. Simple breakfast, if paying better eat at cafe outside hotel.

Cheap hotel
First day at hotel the rooms aircon isn't working very well, I set it to 16 degrees Celsius and it's still quite warm to hot, request to change room, the reception said okay, however I can get the keys of the new room until I take everything I brought out, because I have already unpacked everything, I wanted to take the new keys for the new room and keep my current key till I transferred everything over but the receptionist said no, cannot. Also wifi is pretty weak, like it's not stable. The aircon of the new room is somewhere alright, The aircon gets cold after a while, so I had to wait for a while. TV channels is pretty bad, not much English channels other than a soccer channel, the rest are malay channels, TV can only view images and musics from a external media Toilet doors are pretty rough to handle, like hard to open and close, Would only recommend this hotel if the person staying there just needs a cheap and good enough place to rest.

A good value outside of the city
The bed was comfortable. The television had limited channels that didn't come in very well. The staff was friendly and helpful. I really liked that a supermarket was right next door and bus #55 was convenient to take to the city and back.

Close to airport, but far from the city. Very simple breakfast. Bad smell in the room. Pluses: very late check out is possible with no extra charges. Ask consierge for cheap shuttle to/from airport.

A great new modern hotel, with decent size rooms, staff helpful, and free Wi-fi, which worked well. Not in the city, but only a short bus ride to the city. Buses run about every half hour, and only cost B$ 1.00. Only a half hour walk or take the bus to the Suburb of Gadong, a huge shopping area, with a big shopping centre, called simply "The Mall".

Perfect hotel for a transit. Make
Perfect hotel for a transit. Make sure you email the hotel to book the airport transfer for $BD10. The guy waited patiently for me to get through immigration and then happily told me about the sites of BSB on the way to the hotel. Hotel is a little out of town but you can catch the bus for $BD1 although it's not very frequent & full when it does pass. The hotel also offers a transfer into town for $BD10. My room was clean, had all the basics for a short stay and breakfast included in the rate. For half the price of other hotels in BSB, I have no reason to complain.

It is a clean and nice hotel with good restaurant surrounded. I would said it defintely worth for the price. The employees from the hotel is friendly and good manners. Although it is not located in the town center, but is only 5 mins away with car. If the tv programs can have more choices, then there is nothing much to complain.

It was certainly a good value for money. There's a bus stop (route 55 if I didn't get it wrong) right across the road. It only costs $1 to go to town. The room is in reasonable size, tidy and clean. They even offered a discounted drop-off at the airport for $5 per person. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.

The rooms are quite clean. friendly staffs. They've helped me and gave me useful information. There are a big supermarket, restaurants and coffee café are near the hotel. It's a bit far from the the attractions but it's suitable for the guests who want to stay the quiet place. But it's not a big problem because I used the Dart (the application like Grab or Uber) to go anywhere. It's very convenient.

Easy to find , not too far from the Airport. We rented a car from the airport it is the best way to move around the Kingdom. The staff was a bit lost but nice the room are spacious, double bed very good, the cleaning is done every day, coffee,tea facilities, TV, hot water shower, aircon. The super market is just a cross the hotel . And next to the hotel there is a small restaurant with good food and cheap.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis in Ordnung
Im Vergleich zu anderen Hostels in der Hauptstadt bietet es ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis im Zwei-Sterne Bereich. Dass der Öffentliche Nahverkehr nach 18:30 eingestellt wird, kann man dem Hotel nicht übel nehmen. Man ist nach dieser Stunde aber ein wenig abgeschnitten, bzw. auf die wenigen Taxis in der Stadt angewiesen. PS: Luxus darf man nicht erwarten, aber zwei Sterne sind angebracht.

ブルネイにしては安く泊まれます。部屋も広く、清潔で設備も文句なしです。欠点は中心街から遠いこと。18時以降は公共バスもなくなってしまうので、タクシーを使うしかありません。市内から10BNDほど。 ホテルには満足していますが、レセプションのスタッフの感じがあまり良くなかったです。残念です。
