Exceptional time travel back to the 1970s
This is the first time I've felt misled by a hotels.com rating. The hotel was rated "Exceptional"; it definitely is not.
Let's start with the positives. It's very cheap. The staff are kind, well-meaning and helpful. The rooms are very spacious.
However the hotel is stuck in the 1970s. Location is in a neighbourhood away from the city centre; you will need to drive to get anywhere (though this is standard for Brunei). One of the previous reviews mentioned the possibility of walking to the water village - well, go look up the reality on an online map.
Kettle and cups provided but no coffee/tea.
Breakfast is included, but not worth going for it.
There's a catering college on the premises. Is that why the room floors smelled of stale frying?
Tip: there is plenty of hot water but only if you know that you have to turn on the water heater first! No one mentioned this at checkin.
