J Hotel

This is a budget hotel on par with a Hanting (a popular budget hotel chain in China). The facilities are new and it's quite cheap. While it's close to the Grand Mosque, it still takes at least 15 minutes to walk there – it looks closer than it is. Brunei is a lot of fun and very safe, and the locals are incredibly friendly. This was especially noticeable after coming from the Philippines; the difference was huge.

The hotel is new and the service is great. It's within walking distance to Hua Ho Department Store, though you do have to pass through a somewhat precarious section (no lights at night and no sidewalk). The adult pool on the upper floor is very large, and besides the kiddie pool, there are also excellent water play facilities for children. From the rooftop, you can see the Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, and it's close to many attractions. There's a spacious area for parking right in front of the hotel, and a nice cafe right next door.

There's a rooftop pool and gym with views of the famous Golden Dome Mosque. Downstairs, you'll find a cafe and bakery, and you can buy great coffee nearby. It's also a 5-minute drive to the night market. All in all, a solid performance in every aspect.

The room is very new and the location is excellent. Shopping malls, night markets, mosques, and supermarkets are all within walking distance. However, crossing the road in Brunei can be a bit tricky. Walking to the night market takes you through an area with stray dogs, so be a little careful. The hotel's top floor has a fitness area and a swimming pool, and you can see the mosque very clearly from the platform.

The hotel is small, and the rooms are simple and clean. However, its location by the highway makes walking inconvenient, and the noise level is quite high. This could be a significant issue for travelers who are sensitive to noise and require a quiet environment for sleep. On the bright side, the food from the ground floor restaurant is quite good.

The hotel's rooftop pool offers direct views of the mosque, and the staff are very friendly. The hotel facilities are new, and there's a Putri coffee shop downstairs. If I ever go to Brunei again, I'll definitely stay here.

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, and the rooftop pool was a paradise for kids!

The building is new and the interior facilities are modern and very clean. The staff service is also excellent. The rooftop pool has a fountain area where kids can play, and you can also see the New Mosque from the rooftop pool, offering a wonderful night view. It's about BND5-6 by taxi to the Old Mosque.

Great location with excellent amenities nearby. **Facilities**: The rooftop pool is a nice touch, and the hotel feels very new. Overall, it offers great value for money. The only downside for fitness enthusiasts is that the 'gym' is a gym in name only. The few pieces of equipment they have are placed outdoors! Given the temperature in Brunei, even if you don't mind the equipment, you'd likely suffer from heatstroke after a workout.🥵
