Perfect place to stay in Bandar Seri Begawan

Great! A comfortable shuttle bus from the airport was waiting for me as arranged, and check-in was quick and hassle-free. I found my room to be of appropriate size,, very clean and in perfect condition. During the night I could enjoy a comfortable bed and absolute silence. For the sightseeing I could reach all my points of interest (mosques, night market, ferry area...) by walking, as planned. Also, there's plenty of restaurants and stores in the neighborhood. Check-out went smoothly and I was taken back to the airport in no time. All staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Thank you!

スタッフが素晴らしい

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。
