    “Great staff; okay rooms”

    I chose this hotel because of how close it was to everything in the downtown, and how close to it was to the Royal Regalia museum and the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. The staff is really the selling point of this hotel. They were kind and understanding, helping my partner and I get around town and to all the spots on our itinerary. The front desk staff were happy to call taxis or call the local Uber-esque service in Brunei, Dart drivers, to help us. They also helped us get to the Post Office and made recommendations for the best times to visit certain mosques in the city. They also allowed us to check our bags after check out to be picked up as we left the city for a nighttime tour. The rooms were clean, but it was easy to hear the neighboring rooms water drainage from showers or use of the basin. The room TV supports use of streaming services, but if you don’t have your password handy, you’ll be at the mercy of free services. We had a small leak in the washlet attachment to the toilet, but nothing so egregious that we complained about it. Sadly, our room was above the party room, and one night during our stay, it was loud until 10:30 pm, but after that it was quiet. There are more luxurious hotels in Brunei, but this was an overall good fit.

    “Everything is above full marks.”

    Even as someone who can't use eSIM well and is extremely directionally challenged in Brunei for the first time, I found the location of this hotel excellent, as I could almost walk to all the places I wanted to go. The staff were all kind and there were no hits or misses. The breakfast, which I didn’t expect much from (sorry), was also very delicious. Each floor had a water server. With such thoughtful responses and care, I think this hotel was truly a wonderful find. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy my brief one-night stay to the fullest. I will definitely be returning here next time!

    “A quick weekend getaway”

    Keep up the good work: - Clean hotel upon checking in - Very nice smell at the spacious lobby - Clean room and toilet - Have mini fridge and iron / ironing board Need to improve on: - However we prefer to have room slippers in the room (there was none when we entered our room so we had to make a call and then they provided rubber slippers that are non disposable) - Rooms are not sound proof- we could not really sleep as the hotel is situated next to the road thus the noise from modified cars and motorists can be heard. The sound of guests checking in with the luggages rolling also can be heard. - Probably can change the quality of the toilet rolls in the toilet as it was easily shred and crumble even - Diversify the welcome drink

    “Beautiful interior good location”

    Nothing much going on in the area other than BandarKuCeria and the hotel doesn't have facilities like gym and pool within the building (have to go to a different building). No spa, below average amenities, limited parking space. Love the snacks. Bed was good, place was clean. No access to rooftop for some reason.
