Pusat Belia

Hotels in Brunei are expensive. There are two budget accommodations:
Brunei Youth Centre (Pusat Belia) You can stay in air-conditioned, 4-bed dorm for B$10 (USD 6). It is Jalan Sungai Kianggeh near the Sheraton Hotel. You will pass it on the bus to town from the ferry or airport.

Ahmad Bujang recently opened a budget hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. B$10 per person per night. I have no address, only his telephone number: 08-828894

MORE INFORMATION FOR BUDGET TRAVELLERS:
To get to Sabah and/or Labuan, you will need to take a morning ferry from the terminal in Muara. Take bus #33 or 38 and allow yourself 90 minutes. The last morning boat to Labuan is at 8:30 a.m., so get there very early, perhaps 30 minutes prior so you can clear immigration. There are also ferries around 1:00 that will get you to Labuan in time to make a connection to Sabah. The fare to Labuan is B$15 and you need to pay B$1 exit tax. The ride to Labuan takes about 90 minutes where you will have to clear Malaysian immigration. To proceed to Kota Kinabalu, exit out the international departures, turn to the left and walk to the end of the same building. The fare to KK is RM28 and that ride takes about 2-2.5 hours.

To Miri, Limbang, Sarawak: To get to Miri or Limbang, take a bus to Seria from the BSB station (B$5) every hour. These take a couple of hours and then you can transfer to Kuala Belait (B$1, 1 hour). From Kuala Belait, there are buses to Limbang and Sungei Tujuh on the road to Miri (B$5.50, 30 minutes). Buy your bus tickets only to the Malaysian border as buses are cheaper once you cross the border.
