Overpriced, in the center of the city, felt safe and staff were all kind. However, staff knew nothing about anything. I got blank faces repeatedly about suggestions where to go, what to eat etc. Food at restaurant was overpriced.

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.

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.

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!!
