The staff were super friendly and allowed us to check in early which was a lifesaver after an early flight! Nice rooms at a very reasonable price and you can tell they care.

Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm.
Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

We used Sandakan as the gateway to Turtle Island and the Kinabatangan River. We had lunch in a central hotel which was fine, not a lot for vegetarians but the service was good.
We could have spent a little longer there, it seems easy to get around.

Great little town, wouldn’t spend more than a day or two here unless you were using as a base to go and see the orangutans and rainforest discovery centre or island tours.
Great water front dinners. Shopping mall and grocery store close to water front. Nice vibe.

It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories. Fresh seafood paradise and amazing mixed cuisine with traditional Chinese, Malaysian food and Indian dishes. Everything in the food market is super cheap and fresh.
The town centre is looking undeveloped and unloved.

Not much to do in the town or much to see and nowhere very nice places to eat/drink. Unfortunately it is quite run down so book a decent hotel to stay in and make the most of the experiences available in the area.

Beautiful place. Lots of nature.
Beautiful place. Lots of nature.
We visited the Borneo Sunbear conservation centre, The orang utan sanctuary, the Rainfoest Discovery Centre and the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Centre.
All above were very interesting and nicely done. However, you do need a car to get about as distances are far from Sabah Hotel.
Ride-sharing app (Grabcar) is a good alternative.
Seafood is cheap, plentiful and yummy in the Chinese restaurants
I had an early flight to Sandakan and headed straight to the hotel. I've requested for an early check-in (between 9am-10am). The hotel was very accommodating to allow an early check-in so I can refresh myself before going for my appointment.
I don't usually take breakfast because all I need to start my day is a cup of hot coffee. Glad to see that there's a coffee & tea facility at the lounge so I can have my coffee the way I like it, even if it's instant coffee.
Hotel is very modern, rooms like new and whole place is spotless. Staff are brilliant, let us check about 6 hours early on 2 separate stays. They open the door for you. Tasty buffet breakfast with lots of choices included. Best hotel I've stayed in Malaysia. I'm surprised doesn't have a higher score/rating. Loads of eating places 5 mins walk away is a bonus. Pool also clean and great to cool off.
I like this place very cheap if u book online and the room is big. Nice and clean... how many times already I stay here.. I'm very recommended this place , hotel very near to all restaurant Starbucks, mcd and bataras .. Next time when we go sandakan we actually book this hotel .
Host is great and eagerly contacts you with check in details and offers lots of advice for things to do. Also has car, motorcycle and snorkel rentals, and water dispensers in the hallway. Showers and the room are nice enough and the aircon works well. We didn't check the TV.
The location was lovely, but not directly on the river - you can see squirrels in the trees, as well as monkeys and other forrest animals. At night you can see bats! Breakfast was served in a buffet style with fried rice, fried eggs, sausages and toast.
The hotel is well located: near laundromat, convenience stores, several cafe and restaurants. It's also very close to the airport as well as the bus station.
The room was clean and spacious ; bed was super comfortable !
Beautiful location by the sea, amazing buffet style breakfast, friendly staff, clean room, tv with Netflix, close to a big mall and plenty of restaurants. Best location in Sandakan we believe! Would definitely recommend!
I had my best sleep in Sandakan here, the bed was great- firm but not hard- loved it.
The view is lovely and the location of this place is great- although in the middle of a busy area, the rooms are quiet and relaxing.
Staff were so friendly and amazing. Food was delicious, the highlight though was seeing oranguatans and langurs in the forest walk behind the hotel. That was truly amazing and the staff helped us identify what we saw.
The hotel is perfectly situated for visits to the orang-utan and sun bear rehabilitation centres. The staff were very friendly and helpful in booking taxis/tours etc; and we really enjoyed the ambience of the lodge.
The room was nice and clean. The buffet breakfast included had lots of options. Sandakan does not have too offer too much, but it was nice that the hotel was in the center close to some restaurants and bars.
the location is very good and close to the shopping mall, it's easy to find a place to eat and there are many restaurants nearby, but it's a little difficult to find a parking lot near the hotel..
Great and Budget hotel. Nice room and comfortable. Just 5 minutes to the main town. Near with the Pasar Malam.
I was book from online. More cheap because they have promo rate.
