Advantages: cheap, excellent services, good location Disadvantages: Youth hostel is cheaper
This hotel is, in my opinion the best budget traveller hotel in brunei. During my visit to BandarSeriBegawan i spent 4 nights there and 1 night in the local youth hostel. The adavantages of the is hotel are numerous:
1. At 70 Brunei Dollars or about 26 quid its far less expensive than other hotels in the city and i think is pretty good value for money.
2. The services provided are plentiful including: concierge, internet cafe, restaurant (which is pretty good) amongst several other cafes, a few boutiques, a mini-mart and finally a tours desk.
3. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming - they will advise on anything and make you really feel at home.
4. Rooms are well appointed with fridge (more useful than you may think), tv, good bathrooms and beds.
5. The location on jalan kiannegh is excellent - literally a two ...
Advantages: Great views, quiet location Disadvantages: Boring food and no real character
Fame At Last
The River View is one of the best hotels in Thimphu ? it must be, my guide book said so. Even Ciao had it listed without me having to even request it. That doesn't happen very often with the places where I stay.
It's not one of the most expensive hotels in Thimphu ? apparently that accolade goes to the Taj Trashi which is still being built and is said to be likely to cost about $1000 a night. But who needs that much ostentation on their holiday? Not me. Actually despite being good enough for the Lonely Planet to know about it, I have to be honest and say that I don't think the hotel's as good as it thinks it is. However it's in a country where no hotel really needs to try very hard.

Advantages: a good place to visit Disadvantages: not a great deal of attractions
BandarSeriBegawan, the capital of Brunei Darussalam is a very interesting place to visit. Most people arrive by air and the well appointed airport is only 15 minutes from the city. Most hotels will provide a transfer, with exception of the only true budget option which is the local youth hostel. Apart from that you can expect to pay in excess of 25 pounds per night, with prices rising to hundred of pounds for the empire resort. There asre buses from the airport to the central bus stand in the city but they are infrequent, although cheap at $1 (brunei dollar).
Transport in the city is fairly efficient and in fact rarely needed, as its so small. As an avid walker i found i could get anywhere by foot. However the bus system is easy to understand and easy to use. Useful buses include the 39 which goes to the museum, 01 which goes to ...
