朝食とフレンドリーな接客でオススメ
Pros:

アクセス:dartを使えば空港から15分、10ドル程で着く。ナイトマーケット、ニューモスクも近くアクセスは良い。徒歩圏内だが、近くの大通りが車の往来が激しいことから渡れず、徒歩で行けるかは分からなかった。ホテル周辺には飲食店、スーパーもあり買い物や食事には困らない。
部屋:宿泊したのはキングサイズのベッドがある部屋だった。1人で泊まるには十分広く、快適に過ごせた。空の冷蔵庫、コーヒーメーカー、使い捨てスリッパ、アイロン、ドライヤー、ミネラルウォーター2本(毎日交換)、シャンプー、ボディソープ、石鹸あり。パジャマはなし。難点はシャワーとトイレの水勢が若干弱いこと、枕が高いこと、(自分は気にならなかったが)冷蔵庫の稼働音が少しすることだった。ただ、神経質にならずアジアのホテルに慣れてる人なら特に問題はないかと思う。
接客:ホテルスタッフは丁寧でフレンドリー。聞き取りやすい英語で対応してくれ良かった。
朝食:美味しい。ルンダン、カレー、ミーゴレン、ナシゴレン、ケーキ、フルーツなど現地の伝統料理が並べられた日替わり?のバイキングでとても美味しく満足だった。朝早くから遅い時間まで食べられ、便利でもあった。窓からの眺めも日差しもよく、気持ちのいいモーニングタイムを過ごせた。

The best value for money. The place is located in a nice area not far from the airport and downtown. The boat jeti to downtown is 100 meters away.

スタッフが素晴らしい
Pros:

スタッフが皆礼儀正しくて親切。ホテルのすぐ近くの船着場からボートを出してツアーに行ってくれる(写真添付)。宿泊客は2割引。ウォーターフロントでボートを探すより安心で安い。ホテルの目の前にあるベーカリーが安くて美味しい。ホテルの朝食も美味しかった。new mosqueには徒歩圏内、街中までもDartで5.5ドル、ナイトマーケットにも近くて観光に便利。

Back to Brunei!
Pros:

Fantastic room, friendly staff and great service Checked out early for airport and they took liberty creating a take out breakfast which was delicious, unexpected and appreciated with an early flight. Location is great as river near, where you can take boat from dock to explore! Room better than expected! Thank you

Pros:

とても綺麗な部屋でゆったり過ごせました。最後のお別れの時に、わたしたちが居なくなるまで見送ってくれたらもっと嬉しかったなと思いました。私がタクシーの中から、手を振ったのが気がついてもらえなかったから(笑)
でも全般的に朝食も美味しく外食した所よりも美味しかったなと話してました。ありがとうございました!

We were overcharged by Hotels.com
Pros:

The experience ,the hotel ,the food and environment are all good . But we realised that we are charged too much. Found out that per night for Executive Suite is only $150++ per night but we were charged $886 for 3 nights !!
