Hotel Dengan Pools di Belait, Brunei Darussalam

For casual travellers with no special demands, this hotel will suffice. However, it appears that hotel management is trying hard to save dimes. Rooms have insufficient light [I had to drag a bed light to the working desk to see anything...]. There were several other minor issues [key to room did not work for a while, no clothes hangers in cupboard, no safety box and so on], which are - I guess - nuisances, but not a big problem. However, attentiveness to small things should be top priority for any hotel. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful.

While it offers basic amenities, what stood out was its cleanliness and the warm hospitality of the staff. The location is surprisingly central, making it a great base for exploring the city on a budget. While it may lack the frills of higher-rated hotels, it compensates with its cozy charm and genuine service. A commendable choice for travelers seeking simplicity and value.
