"Excellent staff, customer service and location.
Let down by dated building and rooms. Carpets were past their used by date and dirty, bathrooms were in terrible condition, again requiring renovation."
"If it is your first time visiting Brunei, Higher Hotel might be one of the best budget options you could go for. The area is safe, the rooms are clean, and the breakfast is manageable. Morning privacy options (like a simple "Do Not Disturb" sign) and some help with transportation would help put it even higher in the future. As is, it's a fair option located not too far from the hotel and near some shopping areas. "
"Located nice and close to the centre an easy and safe walk, night or day. The pool was good to cool off in and the room was big, clean and comfortable."
"If you have a long layover in Brunei airport, this is a great option. Just downstairs from the departure gates, it is just 2 min walk to departure. Includes some vouchers for drink and food machines, but even when one didn't work, it was only $1 to buy"

As there was construction on going there was some noise but staff had informed us beforehand.
Breakfast options are great and would recommend "
