Hotels near Sungai Bunga Jetty, Kota Batu

Perhaps the cheapest hotel in Brunei offering good clean , big rooms , with amenities like tv , fridge , free drinking water and safe ambience . The location is 10 minutes approx 700 meters away from Water front and the bus stand where buses from Kota Kinabalu and Miri depart and arrive. 500 meters from the local bus stand. The hotel has a coffee shop which sells set breakfast. They provide unlimited RO drinking water in jugs from the reception. Nearest restaurant around 600 meters . It is safe in Brunei so does not matter if you walk in the dark at night. Bonus, free airport drop off. I even did not know about it the reception lady informed me at the time of checkout or else is was going to take 1 dollar bus ride which takes around 45 minutes. It gave me time to visit the museum and buy some food to have at the airport . I suggest the hotel very much.

The free transport option offered on arrival at the airport was a very appealing aspect at this hotel and it was seamless when arriving late at night. The city’s roads were deserted so the journey didn’t take long and the welcome from the reception was superb, feeling so friendly and more like arriving into someone’s home than a hotel. It may feel a little tucked away and at times more of a business office location, but it was the ideal spot for a short break in the city and all the main sights are easily walkable. There’s two buildings for the accommodation and mine was on the second floor in the alternative building. There is a decent lift as well as stairs available to use and the room itself was a good enough size. It was a little basic and functional, but with the prices charged I can’t complain. Be sure to close the blind in the shower at night else the glass door allows the morning sun throughout the whole room, but the air-conditioning worked well, there’s plugs by the side of the bed and a decent enough desk for doing any work. The TV was small and there isn’t a huge amount of storage but everywhere at least seemed very clean. Noise from outside was minimal, given the hotel is tucked away in it’s own carpark, although it was possible to hear water running throughout the building from other rooms throughout the night. Breakfast continued the friendly ‘home run’ affair and was quite nice. There’s a decent number of hot dishes on the buffet and the live omelette station is a good touch. Again all the staff are super welcoming and can’t do enough to help. There’s a mix of tables with many suitable for large groups as well. I can’t comment on their evening offering since it was closed for a private function. If you’re looking for the height of luxury and modernness you’ll be disappointed, but for a clean comfortable room, in a great location with welcoming atmosphere, certainly consider it - I will be again and it’s brilliant value.

The Radisson Hotel Brunei is the only international chain hotel. Located within walking distance to lots of places of interest, such as the Regalia Museum, the Brunei History Museum, the Yayasan shopping center, the Kampong Ayer, and most importantly night market with great food just across the street. The hotel provides FREE shuttle service to various shopping centers 3 times a day. The most recommended is Gadong where you have the largest shopping mall in Brunei as well as the well-known Gadong night market where you can find and try all kinds of Bruneian foods, the best! The hotel has a 24-hour fitness center with up-to-date equipment, toilet, showers, and connected to the swimming pool. No attendants available. The breakfast has tasty food, albeit not enough variety and not enough vegetables. Service is friendly and helpful. At the lobby there is a souvenier shop. And a water dispenser so that you can keep refilling your water bottle. Last but most importantly, even though the bed is queen sized, but really comfortable and gives us well-rested sleep. Our room was facing the small forest at the back, so no noise from the street. Housekeeping does a great job at cleaning the room.

Located in the heart of the city of Bandar Sribugawan, it is convenient for dining and shopping. It seems to be a long-established hotel, but the room seems to have been renovated relatively recently, and it was modern and clean. I didn't mind because I stayed at work so long in the room, but the outside of the window was just across the building, so the inside of the room was a little dark. (This may depend on the direction of the room). The only complaint was that the temperature of the shower did not rise much.

it has been almost 2 years MCO and now I have an opportunity to visit my Husband in Brunei. Thinking about self-isolation going to be the worst time of my life which I will be alone for at least 7-14 days in the hotel room. So I was prepared for some activities including office work...oh dear lucky that I can work from everywhere. The room is very spacious and clean. I can choose my sitting for work, reading a book or having a meal. The cozy atmosphere at the living area is so relaxing. I can see the views of the city from the window. Talking about the meal is superb! I have no complaint at all except my weight haha... Moreover the hospitality provided by the staffs were great! I really MISS the moments. I highly recommended this Hotel is the best place to stay whenever you visit Brunei. -siti-

The hotel is new and has a very good environment. There is an open-air swimming pool and gym on the top floor. You can see the beautiful night view of the mosque, which is great. The smell of decoration can still be smelled in the public areas of the corridor. When I put the water in the bathtub, I found it was very yellow. I asked the lady at the front desk downstairs and she said it was a government issue, which made me feel bad. By the way, the air conditioning, bed curtains, and lights in the hotel can all be controlled by electronic panels, but the panels seem to be extinguished at night, making them very bright and affecting sleep💤 I’m used to giving good reviews

Very small room but comes with an attached bathroom which is the same size as an airplane bathroom :p No hot water until we asked for it and then they came to fix it.. But location is really good.. make sure to visit the gadong night market!

Great location with many shopping and eating places within walking distance. Decent selection of local food at the buffet breakfast. Rooms were spacious and clean. Our family of 5 was fortunate to have a complimentary upgrade of one of our rooms to a suite in order to have interconnecting rooms. However, condition of the rooms were quite aged and the aircon temperature cannot be adjusted which made it very cold most of the time. In-room Wi-Fi definitely needs improvement as you have to pull a chair and sit near the room door for a decent signal strength. Overall still a reasonable place to stay.

We stayed at The Empire overnight in transit to Australia. The buildings alone are incredibly impressive as are the grounds, facilities ( restaurants, cinema, 24 hour cafe) and the amazing pool. The staff are super friendly, efficient and keen to help in any way. Our room was spacious with a great ocean view and the bed was wonderful. We used bikes to explore the property, visited the in house cinema and spent a lazy afternoon by the pool using the kayaks and SUP boards. The grounds are streaming with bird life. We saw sea eagles, kingfishers, parrots and more. We ate in the Pantai restaurant which offered good food at reasonable prices. The downside for us was the buffet breakfast which had a wide selection of food but some of the offerings such as roti, dim sum and curries were already cold and unappetising by 8.00am. Breakfast and airport transit are not included in the room rate so these extras add up making this an expensive option. There are many private beaches on the property but we were told swimming is at your own risk due to the small risk of crocodiles. Overall it was a real experience to stay here!

very upset that my food took way too long to be made. ordered a pasta dish with specific pasta request, at almost thirty minutes of waiting, then the waiter came out telling me they ran out of the pasta i requested. and i waited AGAIN, my food was the last to arrive. very upset. how could the kitchen team hasn’t noticed right away that they ran out of ingredients the second service team told them the orders? furthermore, i didn’t receive any apology concerning about my food. i was told that it was coming in “5/10 minutes”, but nope. didnt arrive as promised. first & last experience at this restaurant. not coming back. imagine, me and my friends were the only customers at the time. how will it be like with several tables? nightmare
