Great bed and shower, with great cafes within walking distance.”

The reception was bright and easy to spot, with its helpful and friendly staff. Free wifi for all my devices. Great hot shower with toiletries. Good bed, with nice thick covers. Black out curtains - really got a good night's sleep. Super near the public park around the Kampung Ayer - I had a good jog watching the sunset. The locals were enjoying themselves, taking in the fresh air and the view too. Great for travellers on business, and also for leisure. Clean, Safe, Great Shower & Sleep. No worries on food. It's fantastic. Thank you!

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a very comfortable, pleasant stay. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast is good and there are different hot options each day along with an egg station. Minutes walk to the jetty to the water village, boat tours, mosque, and museums. It is also right behind the bus station making it very convenient to go to the night market or airport!

Most Honest Hotel”

So far I have found it as the most honest hotel in Brunei since after I booked they immediately e-mail me informing that some rooms are being used for Isolation Area. That alone earn them a 5 Star recommendation. Their hotel location is also very good if you plan to go to Tamu Kianggeh as just a 5 minute walk over there.
