Hotels With Gym in Brunei-Muara, Brunei Darussalam

The hotel wifi is horrible!!! Better to go to Starbuck to get the wifi connection. The location of the hotel is good with many nice, good restaurants nearby, all within walking distance The swimming pool is on the 2nd floor and you have to walk across the building to go to the pool which is so inconvenient. The swimming pool is pretty bare with no facilities The lobby area is quite miserable with limited seats. There is a bakery store and Starbuck is within the lobby area. The room is clean but a little old, need to do some renovation to improve on the outlook

Probably the only chain hotel in Bandar Seri Begawan, capital of Brunei. Location is great, right in the city centre. Museums and mosques nearby. The hotel itself was fine, however it is looking a little dated now. Could do with a renovation. Saying that, all amenities worked well and the pool was nice enough to take a dip to beat the heat. Tip: download the Dart APP (Brunei's answer to Uber/Grab) and change some money (Brunei dollars or Singapore dollars are accepted everywhere).

Overall, the hotel is clean and tidy. Don't expect too much; the facilities are typical of a 2000s 5-star hotel. If you need to use your computer or connect it to the TV, you need to bring your own cable. The hotel still uses the round satellite TV cable from 2000, and doesn't have VGA/HDMI cables. The charging port uses a British plug. Downstairs is a shopping mall, one of the better ones in the area, with Rolex, Tudor, Patches, and a souvenir shop, KFC.

The interior decoration of the hotel room is still relatively old. It feels like a domestic guest house. The high price is not in line with the actual environment. There are no restaurants and supermarkets near the hotel, so life is inconvenient.

1. The hotel is slightly located, 2km away from the city center; 2. There are many shops and restaurants near the hotel, making it very convenient to eat; 3. Breakfast and lunch are very good, with many varieties and most of them are local specialties; 4. The front desk service is enthusiastic.

Check in time is strictly at 2pm. Bed a bit hard (For me) Gym quite run down or under renovation. However it's quite convenient as the supermarket is just downstairs.

easy connect to the mail and acceptable hotel quick a good choice

The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful, they always smile at us and try to fit our requests. The room is clean and comfortable in overall. Their breakfast has good quality too. The only con is the water supply is not hot and weak, there are also some worms in the toilet tiles. We responded to the staff and they resolved the water supply issue.

📍Day 3 | 1st June 2025, Sunday The Empire Brunei 🇧🇳 After all the walking yesterday, today was all about rilexing in style—and what better place than the legendary Empire Brunei? ✅ And yes—it absolutely lived up to the hype. 😍 This place is more than just a hotel. It's basically its own little kingdom. Here’s what they offer: 🏀 Full country club (basketball, squash, badminton, table tennis, pools 🎱) 🏊♂️ Indoor swimming pools & jacuzzis 🏖️ Private beaches & lagoons 🚴♀️ Kayaks & bicycles 🎥 On-site cinema 👶 Kids Club 🍽️ 4 Restaurants ⛳ Golf course 🚙 Buggy rides everywhere (the place is huge!) We booked a Dart ride from Jubilee Hotel and arrived around 11AM. Although check-in was supposed to be at 2PM, we were warmly greeted by Hafiz at the front desk. He invited us to explore the facilities while we waited. Then… surprise! Our room was ready by 12PM and we even got a free upgrade to the Ocean King Sea View Room. Influencer perks? Maybe 😎 (Just kidding 😂). Thank you, Empire Brunei! A buggy took us straight to our room—and wow, it was huge, luxurious, and the sea view was something else. 🌊 Lunch was at Pantai Restaurant. My son loves the mini burgers 🍔 while we enjoyed the ocean breeze and relaxed atmosphere. Afterwards, we wandered the lobby and took in the stunning architecture—those iconic golden pillars are a masterpiece. 🏛️ After prayers, we changed into sport/swimwear and headed to the Country Club. I jumped into a pickup basketball game with two lads from the UK while wifey and my son relaxed in the indoor pool and jacuzzi nearby. 🏀🛁 Later, we visited the Kids Club— My son splashed happily while we took a breather. Just before sunset, we found a quiet spot outside. Brunei’s sunset? Absolutely underrated. 🌅 To wrap up the day, we stayed in for dinner (room service KA dendeng 😅). FYI, you need to put down a deposit to order room service. We were way too tired to head out again anyway. Rating? Empire Brunei = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7 stars, obviously 😂) Truly a 10/10 experience—elegant, peaceful, and unforgettable. Feeling recharged and grateful.
