The Brunei Hotel - Bandar Seri Begawan

Boutique hotel in central Bandar Seri Begawan with traditional cultural decor

Location

The Brunei Hotel sits within a 5-minute walk of Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and the Royal Regalia Museum. Kampong Ayer, the water village, is 1000 ft from the hotel, and the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Complex is 1800 ft away. The property is also steps from major banks and oil company offices, making it a base for both sightseeing and business.

Rooms

Each of the 46 rooms has a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a DVD player, and a laptop-sized safety deposit box. Rooms use laminated wood flooring and include a work desk, with filtered water dispensers providing hot and cool water on every floor. The decor reflects Brunei's cultural heritage through traditional patterns and colors.

Dining

YELO café on the ground floor serves an Asian and Western menu, with a breakfast buffet and a dinner buffet offering a wide selection of dishes. The buffet includes local options like nasi lemak, fresh fruit, and yogurt, along with hot egg and vegetable dishes. Guests can also order à la carte items, which reviewers note are cheaper and better than the buffet.

The Padian Function Room accommodates up to 100 guests for meetings, conferences, or social events. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, tour arrangements, and luggage storage. For direct bookings, the hotel provides a complementary return airport transfer when using their shuttle service.
