"Fantastic location, great views up down the Brunei River. So nice to get in the pool at the end of a hot day. Bonus is that the Braii restaurant in on site, fantastic South African prepared food. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast everyday didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended stay."

"It's good just for sleeping if you have a long lay over. Room is okay however no TV, no soap and shampoo. It's just the room and bed. No safe as well for important stuff. "

If only you got this kind of treatment everywhere! Free airport transfers, wifi that worked well, buffet breakfast. They even have a free shuttle to take you to sites around town. They sat down with us and suggested some things to do for the day, then picked us up with our bags waiting in the van and dropped us at the airport. Great clean rooms as well with good air con

The Brunei Hotel is central to the city, river, the water village, shops and other places of interest. Our room overlooked the markets and a tributary of the main river, where water taxis are plentiful and cheap.

Well maintained hotel. The room we stayed was clean and comfortable. They provided free airport transfers which is a big thing for us. Buffet breakfast was good we enjoyed it. The only thing that affected our whole experience was the traffic that day, for a 15 mins travel from airport to hotel took more than an hour to get there because they was a celebration happening. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel

The Sultan of Brunei's brother, Prince Jefri, once owned the Empire Hotel and Country Club.Unfortunately Prince Jefri misappropriated 15 billion dollars of Government money and so the Sultan confiscated the palace and kicked Prince Jefri out of the country for 10 years and the Palace was turned into a 5* Hotel and Country Club.
My husband and I had 4 days at the Hotel but what an experience. Our transfer from the airport went smoothly and the check-in at the desk was warm and inviting. We were...

The room we had was very spacious, although the fixtures were somewhat outdated. Overall, I think our stay at the Orchid Garden was great. Will definitely come back!

It was certainly a good value for money. There's a bus stop (route 55 if I didn't get it wrong) right across the road. It only costs $1 to go to town. The room is in reasonable size, tidy and clean. They even offered a discounted drop-off at the airport for $5 per person. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.
