베니스 로지 호텔

Fairly basic hotel, but quite adequate and good value for money. The bonus was the ability of the staff to convey messages while I was locked out of my phone, and to organise transport - and even to haggle with the driver on my behalf so that a return trip with designated pick up point and time was only 20 Brunei/Singapore dollars. The night market was an easy 15 minute walk in a cool evening. The store next to the hotel sold big bags of ice, which made the dozen cans of beer I brought with me a good idea! (Take note of the alcohol laws - very strict, but it's easy and legal to bring in the allowance if you are not a Muslim). A major plus: I was welcome to leave luggage in hotel, spend a few hours wandering downtown, and then come to the hotel for a swim and to get changed before going to airport in the free hotel transport. Well done hotel staff!
