Book Gadong hotels

Old outdated hotel. Rooms were very average. I was transferred to another room on the 06th floor on the last night of my stay as the aircon compressor spoiled. Saw 2 small cockroaches in the previous room as I was packing my stuff. The staff are helpful and friendly though. The coffee house closes earlier than scheduled. Construction going on the beach area. Most of the road side stalls were closed most of the time. Best to stay near town or jonker street area where there are more amenities, malls, food, etc and much better hotels.

**Below Expectation for a 5-Star Hotel** The price of RM1200 per night did not reflect the experience expected from a 5-star hotel. **Pros:** 1. The room was spacious and surprisingly very cold, even without the air conditioning switched on (around 18°C). The tiled floor was also very cold. 2. We made a last-minute request for an anniversary room decoration. Although the hotel required a 3-day notice, they still managed to provide a simple setup—thank you for the effort. 3. Kids were given a “mystery activity” to complete, with an ice cream reward, which was a nice touch. 4. The check-in process was smooth and quick, with welcome drinks provided. **Areas for Improvement:** 1. No room slippers were provided, which was uncomfortable given the very cold floor. 2. The table lamp was not functioning, and it took more than 30 minutes for the technical team to respond. 3. All TV channels were lagging badly. Even calls to the operator had delays. The technical team mentioned this was “normal,” which is quite unacceptable. 4. Parking was limited and located far away. The buggy/trem service was not readily available and had to be requested each time, which was inconvenient. 5. There was no lifeguard at the swimming pool. We witnessed a concerning incident where a young child nearly drowned after jumping into the adult pool area near the kids’ slide. This raises serious safety concerns. 6. Breakfast was expected at the coffee house, but it was instead held in the ballroom.

The hotel location is a bit isolated especially without a car. The staff is very friendly . The rooms designed and built with wood cinder blocks are original yet poorly isolated . Next door their was a family with 2 small children and despite the obvious crying you could also clearly hear all that was going on , all sounds come through the ceiling rafters

Room condition can be improve as furniture and TV was bit ageing already.
