    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 have booked this hotel through the Booking.com. The hotel staff has called for double confirmation. Since the hotel room was full, the staff upgraded my room to a queen bed type. The staff is very responsible and helpful. The room is big and the bed is very comfortable. The toilet is also clean and big. There is wifi and it is guaranteed in terms of security because every tenant will be given a door passcode. The price is worth it. Easy to park a car. I will book this hotel again if I come to Sandakan. The best!

    Staff is nice, always smiling and asking if you need anything. But they are also shy and don't connect. We rented a car from Avis in Sandakan airport (158 RM per day) and drove to the lodge. Any small car can reach the lodge. There are some pot holes in some places but overall not too bad at all. On the way back we stopped at Sepilok to watch the morning feeding. Contact Avis but Whatsapp as they don't confirm booking.com reservations in a timely matter, +60-17-861-9451.

    Room : Our room have been upgraded to room with sea view. Super satisfied with the room view. Basic room amenities provided. Very reasonable price for what the room had offered. Location : Very convenient location as the hotel just in front of Sandakan Market & at the back of Harbour Mall. Near to Waterfront Seafood Restaurant. All in walking distance, super convenient.

    The hotel had a great view in the reception area as well as from the room. Each room was a separate cabin which had more privacy, we loved it. The reception staff was very helpful. He sent us to a nice room with good views. Room was pretty big for 2 people and was clean We enjoyed our stay in there. Thank you!

    Perfect for a night in Sandakan. We were in town in between Kota Kinabalu and our Kinabatangan River Safari. The hotel was located right next to where we would be picked up and plenty comfortable for the cheap price. The staff were friendly. Would stay again if we stop in Sandakan

    It was right at the water and we even got a little bit of sea view, without even booking it. Value for money was amazing! Including a huge breakfast buffet which you had directly next to the water as well. For a city hotel, very well done!

    The Hotel is well located in the town center and has a fairly good restaurant (Palm Cafe) with cheap options and big portions, sometimes buffet, and very friendly staff. Wouldn‘t recommend to spend the night at the Hotel though.
