Luxury stay. Beautful property with many amenities. The room was spacious and clean. Free minibar drinks and food. Housekeeping was excellent. There are many activities to do on site. My kid enjoyed the pool, fish feeding lagoon and renting a bicycle. The staff was soo friendly and even gave me a complimentary 3 pm checkout. Breakfast was fantastic. We had dinner at Lobby Lounge and it was great. Its a bit far from the city centre. I would recommend this place for a luxurious stay

“A Must-Visit Luxury Stay in Brunei”

The Empire Brunei is by far the best hotel to stay at in Brunei. Having traveled to more than 70 countries, I can confidently say it’s one of the finest hotels I’ve ever experienced. The property itself is a landmark, making it a must-visit even if you’re not staying overnight. The breakfast buffe… lisää

The Empire Brunei is by far the best hotel to stay at in Brunei. Having traveled to more than 70 countries, I can confidently say it’s one of the finest hotels I’ve ever experienced. The property itself is a landmark, making it a must-visit even if you’re not staying overnight. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of options. There are several pools to enjoy, and the hotel is so vast that you actually need transportation to move around inside. My room was spacious and clean, though I believe the customer service could be improved, as guests were not always treated with the level of care expected from such a prestigious hotel. One important note: there are no regular taxis in Brunei, so you’ll need to use a ride-hailing app called Dart to get around the city.

“Best place to stay in Brunei.”

The Empire is by far the best place to stay in Brunei, with so much space, lots of marble everywhere, which feels very plush. The service is spot on and very polite from each and every member of staff I met. Teppanyaki was my favourite restaurant space there and the flavours were stunning. The pool… lisää

The pool area is also wonderful and one of the only places in Brunei where you can relax in a bikini.

“Good, but fell short of expectations”

We had high expectations for the Empire, but perhaps they were too lofty. The staff were exceptional, and the facilities at the country club were outstanding. Unfortunately, the hotel itself lacked character and reminded me of a recent stay in a Japanese hospital. Due to its remote location, we had many meals at the hotel but found the food to be somewhat uninspiring. The breakfasts, held in a dark ballroom, left my family longing for the wonderful meals we had just a week prior across the border at the Miri Marriott. From an environmental perspective, the number of plastic water bottles used was excessive. It would be great to see them offer reusable water containers. Additionally, the air conditioning throughout the hotel was extremely cold. Even in our room, the air conditioning was so frigid that we had to turn it off most of the time. The complimentary mini-bar was a nice touch, but it primarily stocked sugary sodas and cookies. For an island known for its delicious coffee, it was disappointing that this self-proclaimed 7-star hotel only provided instant coffee packets in the room.
