The hotel is kept very clean and tidy it’s the tourists that don’t clean up after themselves that creat the mess but the staff are in it very quickly. The room we had was in the fourth floor with a rear facing view but to be honest your in your room to shower and sleep. The beds was comfy shower really good. Water tea and coffee replenished every day and it’s decent size mugs in your room. We ate one evening meal as we like to explore and it was very nice. Decent portions and not over priced. The breakfast was nice it catered for all different cultures and was plentiful. We were a bit disappointed at how people piled their plates and didn’t eat it then went back for more. The pool area is lovely very relaxing and we always found a sun lounger it got quieter mid morning. All the staff are super friendly and always willing to help. It’s about a fifteen to twenty min walk into town where you will see local culture. And it’s a pathway all the way. You’ll be greeted with lots of hello from the locals. This is my honest opinion and obviously make your own conclusions. Would I stay here again YES it’s definitely worth what you pay.

Parking was available on the street and the area is very walkable with plenty of restaurants, stores, even laundromats, although not from a tourist standpoint. There are no tourist attractions in walking distance but there's easy access to and from the highways if you're driving.

The location is perfect to explore the city. The beds and pillows are confortable. The man at reception is very nice and helpful. This hotel could be perfect if a little cleaner. The curtains were absolutely disgusting. That's too bad because there is a lot of positive things

If you are interested in wild life, then Sandakan is a good place to visit. The Orangutan, Sun bear and Proboscis monkeys sanctuaries are in Sandakan. Sandakan is also a gateway to Kinabatangan River wild life river cruise.

Home of the orang utangs all species of tropical flora and fauna. Ever green environment being in the Tropics. Renowned visitors were Judy Dench, Jason Scott Lee championing the plights of the the orang Utangs and sun bears. Slow pace and small town and easy to drive around. Many seafood restaurants with fresh Cheap food at Taman IJM, and one at Buli Sim Sim. All visitors including Hong Kong TV celebrities came for the local seafood. Locals have breakfasts at the local markets. I opted out the hotel breakfast and have the local springing noodles, ramen equivalent, at the market Labuk Rd mile 1.5 roundabout.

It's a beautiful and comfortable place with lots of activities for nature lovers. It was perfect for working remotely and exploring. The facilities in the city are great; you can find good restaurants to eat at and have good connectivity. And can always escape to some natural reserve or beach to be in touch with nature.

sandakan is fun. make sure to visit rainforest discovery centre, sepilok orang utan sanctuary and the sunbear sanctuary. didnt expect so many cafe that serve their own specialty coffee. 1# coffee is the name of the shop and a very good place to blast away that coffee urge. sandakan is abit crowded with people that im not sure local but overall it was a good adventure.

The old town looks old and worn.

The old town looks old and worn. Needs a coat of paint and touch up. Too many old and abandoned buildings but oh well, it’s the entrance town to get to the Kinabatangan for wildlife spotting and Sepilok for the Orang Utan and sun bears.

The staff was really nice and helpful. Lift was quick. Room was clean and matched the price I paid. And in fact that it was a last minute booking, the whole thing was very quick. Check in was 2pm too. When I was visiting the whole Sandakan was out of water. This hotel was so fortunate to have tank water and we were very grateful of it because we were told to cancel our previous booking.
