30/12/2017 Best advice is DON"T STAY THERE , the room (319) was far worse than any backpackers we have ever stayed in. White towels were thread bear and GREY. Bottom of bath/shower was dirty and handbasin plug didn"t work. TV was old, bulky 1970"s and difficult to view. Pool surroundings old and DIRTY, couldnt bring myself to have a swim NO GUEST"S COMPUTER IN LOBBY & WI FI WAS POOR Difficult to do on line boarding passes It's an Airport hotel, we arrived at 12.30 am tired and a little hungry. We couldn't get any milk or ice, no room service and only ONE drinking glass in entire room for two people. Time Square, shopping centre is a short distance away, however shuttle delivers you there only every 2 hours and picks you up every 2 hours Round trip 4 hours; too long if you have only a stop over $5.00 p/p each way any other time, yet they go past it on way to and from the Airport. WE question why you have it advertised on Hotels.com !!! Staff were very friendly and obviously embarassed by their management; we felt sorry for them

Not bad...for an oldie
Overall it was a rather pleasant stay. The Hotel itself is old, about 20 years or so with the interior design to compliment that. Staff were pleasant and were always helpful for any queries that was asked. The room interior was also just as old and pleasant however, the bed was old and creaky (which meant every movement while on the bed was complimented by a creak). The tv itself was old even though on the paper printing, the TV was LCD but what we got was the old school CRT tv that has hardly any channels to go through. Internet so far was quite good, at least until a large group of users (clients) stayed as well. That's where the internet crashed and was not usable for the whole night. Food wise, can be improved in terms of choice for the buffet breakfast and most importantly, kept warm. Coffee was nice and thick. Tables were cleaned up as soon as possible and food replenished fast. Still a pleasant hotel to stay in with needs met at every possible corner.

Comfortable Hotel near the National Stadium.
Came back here for a return stay. Comfortable and spacious room for a twin share. As a Muslim, I was very grateful for the provision of the prayer mat and Quran. Facilities are basic, but its the friendly staff that made the stay better. Pool was nice, Spa was nice, with a variety of treatment available. Shuttle service to Times Hotel are available at fixed frequency, and u can approach the friendly receptionist for taxi booking to take u elsewhere in Brunei. Only complaint is that some of the towels for the guests, are quite "dark"in colour. I think new towels are to be purchased sooner rather than later. Overall, a good stay in Orchid Garden.

Great hotel but wrong location.
The hotel does not get five stars from me because everywhere is at least five miles away with taxis not too cheap. The hotel,offers a shuttle to a not very exciting Mall, otherwise pick the hotel up and move it to where the action (?) is and it would rate four stars in my book. The information in the book in our room was not accurate...many things had been cancelled like the In hotel travel agent and the times and places of the shuttle which failed to go there. I did book a shuttle to meet me at the airport but although the shuttle turned up it was not to meet me and my friend. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly but one of them didn't know what was going on and always had to refer to someone else before I got any answers. Breakfast fine and pool okay.
Thank you so much for your review. We will definitely look into your suggestions and are sorry to hear of your bad experience. We do hope to see you again soon!

IN NEED OF REFURBISHMENT
Carpet in the room has a noticeable (200mm) wearing tear, furnishing and bathroom are worn and dated. Towels are off white. Equipments such as TV, DVD player, Hair Dryer are not plugged in and requiring adaptor which the room doesnt have. Security safe in the room were locked and requested a couple times for it to be opened, but was never done. Staffs are pleasant and courteous but not 4 star service, needs training. There are only 40 taxis in Brunei as everyone has a car, need to know taxi driver number or make use of the Hotel Shuttle which is cheaper by half. Airport to this hotel by taxi was BND$20, $5 by hotel shuttle to airport...obviously robbed by taxi as new comer. Hotel to ICC by taxi was $10, by hotel shuttle $5. Hotel to Central Shopping Centre by hotel shuttle was $10. Hotel has free shuttle at nominated time, hourly.

Facilities were unusable as we are women and every day except 2 days per week are men only days. You can't use the facilities if you are a woman and unfortunate enough to arrive on a mens only day. Alternatively if you are a man and arrive on womans day you can't use the facilities. Also there is a free bus to town that was inflexible when we asked to be picked up 10 mins later despite us being the only ones using the bus.

A nice hotel close to the airport
A nice hotel close to the airport for a one night stay. I had booked for another three nights on my return from China: the shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel didn't have my name even though it was booked. The early morning call came 15mns late. Was very unhappy when the shuttle bus booked to pick me up at the mall did not turn up, had the security officer from the mall to ring the hotel, and finally had to fetch a cab & paid the fare. Bad service in that regard!!! breakfast fair, mainly asian food, also continental.

I was very happy at this hotel. Very kind and helpful staff, good accommodation and service.
From the first moment I was happy in this hotel. After my arriving I could immediately have a sightseeing tour. Guide picked me up at the entrance of the hotel and we spent nice time together with other travellers to visit Water city at night, to see golden mosques at night lights and to go shopping in the shopping centre and old market. We had sea food for dinner, which was little bit strange but nice for me. I had good trip following day day too. The hotel taxi brought me to the centrum and I walked everywhere alone. It was great experience. I can recommend this hotel to everybody.

An excellent place for a visit
An excellent place for a visit to BSB.Away from the city so is a bit quieter yet easy access to town with the scheduled free transfers.Location also allows for quick access to the airport for flights without having to be ready hours before a flight. Very friendly staff who were keen to assist in all enquiries. The breakfast was excellent and the rooms were fantastic. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone.

Hotel rather close to the airport
It is hard to make a comparison with other hotels in Brunei but for me it was not the one I can recommend strongly. The location was near to the airport and that is a good advantage for this hotel. However, I see that the sanitation of the hotel did not seem to be very good. For example, when I wanted to fill the hot water in my bath tub the water color looked to be brownish and I felt very bad. Also when I had a breakfast in the restaurant on the ground floor, I saw many fries on the fresh salad and could not touch them.

무난한 호텔
전에도 이 호텔을 이용했었는데 전체적으로 무난하지만, 이번에 호텔에 요청했던 두 가지 사항(모닝콜/신문)이 모두 제대로 지켜지지 않았다. 특히 모닝콜은 별 것 아닌것 같지만, 자칫 잘못하면 투숙객의 일정을 망칠 수 있기에 주의를 요망한다. 물론 투숙객이 스스로 유의해야겠지만.... 전체적으로 무난한 호텔
