; Jln Kampung Kianggeh; d B$70-95, f
B$145; )
The Jubilee's rooms aren't flash - they may remind you of your old aunt's
seldom-used guest bedroom - but are liveable and clean. 'Superior' rooms come with kit-
chenettes.

The Centrepoint is a flash business-class hotel located in trendy
Gadong. The rooms are plush and decently luxurious in an executive kind of way. To get
to Gadong, either hop in a taxi or you can take the Circle Line bus.

khsoon-resthouse.tripod.com
; 2nd fl, 140 Jln Pemancha; s/d B$35/39,
with shared bathroom B$30/35; )
This rather matter-of-fact guesthouse, in a converted
commercial space with floors the colour of a man-o-war's decks, offers budget rates, huge
but spartan rooms, and a supercentral location. An extra bed costs around B$17.
GUESTHOUSE
Rizqun International Hotel $$$
( 243 3000;
www.rizquninternational.com
; Abdul Razak Complex; r from B$320; )
Another tourist hotel in the Gadong district, the Rizqun is much more sophisticated than
you'd expect for something growing out of a shopping mall. Plenty of restaurants, friendly
staff and business-class amenities on hand. To get here, take a taxi or Circle Line bus.

Eating
BSB is not exactly a city that screams sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - the second part of that
equation is illegal, the other two are definitely happening behind closed doors. So how do
people have fun?
