Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Bintulu
For the vast majority of travelers, Bintulu Airport (BTU) is the only logical choice, as it is the only airport physically located in the city itself. It provides the most efficient access to Bintulu for domestic flights. The other four airports on this list are located in neighboring cities and serve those cities primarily. Miri Airport (MYY) and Sibu Airport (SBW) serve as regional hubs for Miri and Sibu, respectively; while they offer more diverse flight schedules, they require a lengthy, multi-hour road journey to reach Bintulu. Mukah Airport (MKM) serves the town of Mukah, and Marudi Airport (MUR) is a small regional facility that is significantly out of the way. If you arrive at any of these neighboring airports, you should budget at least four hours for your onward land travel. We strongly recommend booking your ground transportation, such as express coaches or private taxi transfers, well in advance, especially during festive seasons or public holidays when demand increases.

The reception was nice and we loved the basement parking. The room was alright, but I specifically asked for quiet room away from the lift. Instead I was given the room right next to the lift. We can hear people getting off the lift and going to their room, with their luggag rolling. Our room faced the main room and is very noisy. Their pillows suck big time and we didn't get very good sleep here. The breakfast is alright and there is a small gym.FromUS$24

The hotel has an old vintage charm, and you can tell it must have had a grand atmosphere during its prime. It mainly features older furnishings, so it’s suitable if you don’t mind that style. The cleanliness is highly commendable, as maintaining older items requires great care. The furniture is well-maintained, sturdy, and fully functional.FromUS$17

The hotel is comfortable. Provide coffee & tea, mineral water in the room. Foods are around by just walking distance. Nearby have dobi also if you wish to have quick wash.
The downside is no twin room in this hotel. So, you only can get double queens bed room, which you need to pay more on that.FromUS$31
