Initially, I booked for the standard room. But the management decided to upgrade my room due to the miscommunication occurred earlier that day. The hotel driver was supposed to pick me up at Serasa Ferry Terminal (Muara) but there was no one at the terminal when we arrived. As it was already getting dark, I decided to take the taxi instead. 

I talked to the management when I arrived at the hotel. Since I've spent $40 for the taxi fare, I asked for refund from them. But due to hotel policy, they couldn't pay cash to guest. So they offered to upgrade my room as compensation. Nothing else I could do but to just accept the offer. Paying the price of a standard room but get to stay in a Junior Suite

Price: 80.00 BND (~RM 211.00) per night 
Room Type: Standard Room

This was rather an impromptu stay for me. As I missed to board the ferry back to Labuan FT that evening, I have no choice but to extend my stay in Bandar Seri Begawan. Much to my surprise, the receptionist told me I could stay at the standard room & I was eligible for a 50% discount. Alhamdulillah! Truly is my rezeki! So instead of paying $80, I paid $40 only.

Boleh di consider kalau ke Brunei ni. Nak kena buat-buat tertinggal feri jugaklah Bie supaya dapat murah. Aku cuma jejak kaki ke Brunei untuk business trip semata, belom pernah jejalan. Yang aku ingat, sushi dia terbaik yang pernah aku makan.

Bibie Karim said...

Meng: Harga berbaloi ah dengan bilik dia. Lagi pula standard harga hotel kat BSB lah kot kan. Aku paling suka staff dia. Sangat helpful.

Bibie Karim said...

Zarul: Aah bersih. Hotel baru tu yang serba serbi bersih.

Bibie Karim said...

Siti: Janganlah buat2 tertinggal sengsara gila rasa. Macam ber-amazing race bagai. Aku gi pun sebab keja ah ni. Nak cop visa kerja & pasport pekerja aku punya pasal, kena keluar dari Msia katanye. Nanti repeat barulah aku mau trip JJCM. Insha Allah.

Luna: Terpaksa halalkan jelah tambang $40 tu. Merasa gak duk junior suite.

Mie: Cantik. Tempat pun strategik betul. Betul kan, hotel kat sana memang rate gitu je. Lagipun company bayar so duduk jelah. Hihi.
