Badi'ah Hotel is nothing short of superb! Large, spacious rooms with elegant/warm lighting and tasteful decor and artwork. Rooms were equipped with functional furniture such as a wall desk with a chair, 2 arm chairs, a folding luggage storage rack as well as a large cabinet for luggage storage and clothing. The room also came with an electronic safe, electric kettle, mini fridge, coffee/tea making supplies (Nescafé and milk powder packets, sugar, Lipton tea), 2 glasses, 2 coffee mugs with little stir sticks and bathroom amenities such as bar soap, shampoo, body gel, 2 dental kits and a disposable bag. 2 bottles of water were also provided and were replenished each morning. The bathroom was large and clean with a large western toilet. Shower was enclosed, however, water still floods all over the bathroom floor when showering. On this point, the bathrooms could be improved. The bed was extremely comfortable, but unusually short in length. I am only 5'5” but my feet were hitting the edge of the bed. For anyone taller than 5'5”, I fear your feet may be hanging off the bed? Perhaps this was just the size of the double bed in my room, but I found this peculiar. The room also came with a flatscreen TV, with 9 channels to choose from. Limited, but fine for a few nights. Channel selections included BBC news, Discovery and also a Cinemax movie channel (all in English). There were a couple of other English channels also, but I didn't tune in to these. Channels/TV service cut in and out periodically - loss of service - unsure why, but it was manageable. Wifi signal was exceptionally strong, with a router on each floor and different floor networks to choose from. Very happy! Air conditioning in the room and ventilation both were excellent. Housekeeping was excellent and efficient! They started at a reasonable time and finished very quickly, never missing a beat and generous with replenishing used supplies and toiletries. Rooms were also very clean! There was an electronic pad inside to indicate whether you wanted your room cleaned or to be left be, which I thought was excellent design. Reception and kitchen staff were all amazing! Professional, friendly and welcoming of guests! Always opening the door for incoming and departing guests and happy to service any request with a smile! Staff were superb! My one complaint (other than the flooding shower) would be ants in the room. Unfortunately, this is in most tropical climates, and difficult to control, I understand. They are harmless, but, for sure, an annoyance. The hotel offered free airport pick-up and drop-off which was superb value and very much appreciated! The staff even waited for me despite my flight being delayed over an hour (sorry!). Location of the hotel is perfect! You can walk to all of the major tourist sights, and there are 2 major supermarkets close by, one in the complex just behind the hotel, which was very convenient (it's called First Emporium Supermarket). The included breakfast b
Abdul Razak Hotel Apartments is a very excellent option for the travelers who prefers to stay in a convenient but relatively quiet place.
Also, the facility and the staff are superior to make sure your stay will be pleasant while you visit Bandar Seri Begawan :)
Higher hotel have to a two different type of accommodation, one is the hotel itself and second is a dorm type hotel, we got the dorm type hotel. Although we didn't get the hotel room that they have, but still the accommodation is good, clean and peaceful. The area is just around the city and some nearby restaurant/s. It is accessible to all. The staff were nice especially the kababayan's that used to work there. They're very welcoming and friendly. I am looking forward for the wifi connection that it will be more reliable, during our stay the wifi connection was not working well.
The hotel spontaneously organised an aurport transfer for me which i really appreciated. The room was dpacious and provided the usual: tv, hairdryer, fridge, complimentary water, kettle, aircon. The furniture deciration is a bit sp**** and could fo with a makeover. Upon arrival the toilet flush was broken and needed to ve fixed and I never got the shower to be hot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. i booked a small boat tour which did not deliver what was mentioned, e.g., instead of 2 hours it lasted only for 1 h 15min and there was no packed food or water as mentioned in the hotel brochure. The breakfast buffet was large and offered many local specialities. The location was central and there were many restaurants & minimarkets around. >> a bit unprofessional in regard to the advertised boat excursion
