  Great hostel located in a pretty good location in BSB. The beds are pretty comfortable, the hostel is within a 20 minute walk to the Gadong night market and a 25-30 minute to most of central BSB, and it attracts a really cool crowd of backpackers from all over the world. The hostel consists of 2 floors of dormitory bedrooms. On the first floor of the hostel, there is the reception desk, a communal table area, lockers (every guest gets a locker and a key), a fridge, some chairs and couches, 2 bathrooms, and a sink. Bottles of water can be purchased any time, but there is also a clean drinking water fountain. Unfortunately, it is fickle and easy to break, but when it's working, it is great. They also provide free bath towels and the service is great at arranging taxis should you need one (and you will - BSB is extremely car-centric). Things to note: the bathrooms are the classic South east Asian design where there is no divide at all between the shower and the toilet, meaning anything and everything gets completely soaked whenever anyone takes a shower. Also, the blanket provided with the bed is actually quite thin, and when the air conditioning is pumping at night, it can in fact get quite chilly in the rooms. If you get to choose top or bottom bunk, it is wise to go with the bottom bunks here, as they have a drape that can surround the bed and block out light which the top bunks do not have. The free breakfast consists of toast and a selection of spreads, including peanut butter and jam. Last but not least: in the communal area, the outlet accepts plugs from all over the world, but in the bedrooms, each bed is provided with one single British wall outlet, meaning if you have to charge multiple devices, best to do it when you are relaxing in the communal area. The Wi-Fi was also reliable and quite strong and fast. They also accept credit cards when paying for your stay with no additional fee, meaning you can keep more of your cash for shopping around the city. Will definitely be coming back if I find myself in BSB again!

  It's a budget-friendly accomodation, but packs a lot of facilities. The dorm area is clean, air-conditioned and quite spacious. The bathroom has hot shower. There is breakfast between 7.30 and 10.30 am. You can wash and dry the clothes for BND 5. The WiFi is strong and reliable should you need to work during the stay in the Abode of Peace

  Absolutely loved this hostel. Very clean and extremely comfy. Booked a 4 person dorm for the 2 of us but we ended up having it to ourselves our whole stay. Breakfast was toast with jam, butter etc and free tea and coffee which was also available free all day. There is a fridge you can use and a washing machine (5 dollars per use) also available. Staff were helpful and they have a walking map you can follow in the city centre. Download Dart for taxis to and from the centre as it is only $5 each way. Behind the hostel there is shops and restaurants. One of the best hostels I have stayed in.

  The best place to stay in Brunei. The owner is super friendly and we had some nice conversations. He even drove me to the bus in the center early in the morning. The hostel is new, cozy, veeery clean and safe. I just loved it there. One of the best ones I stayed in during my SEA trip. A bit further away from center but that's no problem as there is a bus stop just in front. You won't find better value for money in Brunei.

  Highly recommend this place if you're a backpacker who finds themselves travelling to Brunei. Great price, very friendly service - the staff go out of their way to help you, they even drove us to have dinner at the nearby night market. The hostel is very new so it is very clean and a pleasant environment to stay in. They also have free breakfast which is a nice tough and you can rent a bike from them if you wish. Would definitely stay again.
