Brunei is an exhibition of Islamic architecture and Bornean wildlife. Darussalam translates as the ‘abode of peace’, and its virgin rainforests are certainly somewhere you can switch off from the rest of the world. There’s plenty to do in and around capital city Bandar Seri Begawan, such as visiting the dazzling mosques of Omar Ali Saifuddien and Jame' Asri Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The village of Kampong Ayer is a real eye opener, with hundreds of houses appearing to float on water. A trip to Ulu Temburong National Park is also a must, with guided tours and activities like treetop canopy walks and longboat river cruises available. As well as encountering the odd local on a fishing trip, you may also spot grey gibbons, pygmy squirrels and black spot rock frogs. Muara Beach is one of Brunei’s many sandy stretches and is certainly the best equipped. Here you’ll find picnic areas, a playground and a variety of stalls serving food and drinks. Most accommodation can be found in Bandar Seri Begawan, with a selection of hotels, guests houses and B&Bs available.

The Capital Residence Suites is located in Bandar Seri Begawan only 300 metres from the Royal Regalia Museum.
Guest review
Amazing and friendly staff, from the receptionists, cleaning ladies, waiters in the breakfast room to the shuttle drivers. However, one staff member just went above and beyond: Sheera. He was always available to help with anything, he helped me book a tour to the national park and also book a bus trip to my next destination, he even requested a vegetarian dish for my breakfast!
In terms of location, it is in the center of the city and it is possible to go to some nearby attractions on foot, including the waterfront which is only 15 minutes away. For farther attractions, there is a shuttle service on request including dropoff and pickup. The buffet breakfast is very good with both Asian and Western-style options including vegetarian-friendly options. Throughout the hotel, there are several water filtering stations for refilling your water bottles.
For me, this hotel is a must-visit (and stay) attraction in Brunei. Highly recommended!
