"The staff was very nice but it's in an inconvenient area, the room had a lot of bugs and the amenities like the WiFi, AC and refrigerator did not work very well"
"For the area of Sandakan that this hotel is in this is a pretty good option if you really have to stay here! I would not recommend the area at all.
The staff here were very attentive and friendly. The room was adequate but the pillows were horrendous! Just lumpy lumps of hard sponge!
The shower and sink use a pump system which was not smooth at all and you either had a ‘power’ shower or a trickle.
The hotel is near the Central Market, Harbour Mall & the promenade plus local shops but don’t get...
"If you just want a bed for a night it is fine. Definitely wouldn’t want to stay longer. Breakfast was very basic no cereal or milk, only 1 fresh fruit papaya I think. Probably wouldn’t stay again but conveniently located to airport."
"There are improvements being carried out, which will make a difference in the future.
We were unable to get the advertised wifi at all, despite the router being reset many times. This was annoying.
On four occasions we had random people enter our room without knocking, which was not okay. Once guy even got cross with us and said we should have locked the door.

"This is an old hotel, it used to be one of the best hotels in Sandakan before.
Now I saw the building itself is outstanding there but I also realized that the quality of their service and maintenance are not perfect anymore because of recession by the pandemic.
One of the reasons why I decided this hotel for staying, the review mentions a " nice breakfast". But they don't have it now.
Regarding amenities like a shampoo and toilet rolls, it requires payment if you get extra. I stayed 2nights 3days, so I was wondering If I should buy some.
These are the things uncomfortable part staying this hote.
However, this hotel fee is cheap and stuffs are friendly. I have no complaints."
"Staff are exceptional - friendly, kind, helpful. There's nothing fancy about the place, but nothing fancy is needed, given the surroundings. I especially enjoyed my balcony with the fan. Breakfast is decent and it's only a 20 min walk to the orangutan rehab centre and 5 mins to the rainforest discovery centre."
"It's a piece of luxury in an interesting place - don't let the exterior building fool you. You can be walking into another world in Sandakan and Hotel Sandakan is a sanctuary amongst it. The staff emulate the local Sabahan hospitality and friendliness, I will stay again next time."
