What are the best locations for accommodation in Brunei and where is the cheapest place to stay? Read in this chapter.
Where to stay in Brunei
We think these cities in Brunei are the best for accommodation.
Bandar Seri Begawan
The best place is without a doubt the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan, where all the tourist agencies offering jungle tours, the main sights, shops and most hotels are located.
We provide tips on specific hotels in a separate guide to Bandar Seri Begawan.,
Beach resorts
If you want to relax by the sea while travelling in Brunei, we would recommend the resort of Jerudong with its theme park and several nice hotels.
- The Empire Brunei ***** - The most luxurious and famous hotel in Brunei will offer quality without compromise and accommodation right on the beach
- Parkview Hotel *** - a very cheap hotel in the centre of Jerudong with prices from 50 usd and good reviews
Hotels on the border
If you need an overnight stay before crossing the Malaysian border, stay in the border town of Kuala Belait.
- Swiss Hotel Apartment ** - The only hotel right in the city centre with good taxi access
- Garden Sentral Hotel **** - hotel on the edge of town on the main road convenient if you are travelling by car
Prices and when to book
For a local 3* hotel you will pay on average between 62 usd and 80 usd.
The better hotels of international chains offer a night in a 2-bed room at prices from 120 usd.
As Brunei is not a major tourist destination and has no high season (weather is similar all year round), prices stay at a similar price level regardless of the time of booking.
