Value!
The hallways did not have air con and generally the building was old. Not at all to the point of being a problem but noticeable.
Everything! Great location, staff super friendly
Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstücksbuffet war gut! Saubere, schöne Zimmer
War länger als erst geplant im Hotel. Habe mir ein Upgrade mit Stadtblick gezogen und was soll ich sagen. 8. Stock und Ausblick über die Bucht und die Stadt. Sauber, geräumig, alles funktioniert, herrliche Warmwasser-Dusche. Leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Empfehlenswert!
Die günstigsten Zimmer nach hinten sind etwas kleiner und bieten eine Blick auf ein Sozialbau. Lieber einen 10er mehr investieren
Everything were superb. From front desk welcoming and smooth check in to hotel rooms and room service all incredibly satisfied. The room service staffs even fold my clothes nicely and placed it neatly. The breakfast also suited my family's taste and variety of choice.
Sabahan language gap. But is alright. I can tolerate with it all.
El personal muy amable y pudimos dejar las mochilas antes del check-in, además, el check in fue unas horas más temprano de lo que era. No tenia moqueta la habitación e incluso nos preguntaron si preferíamos queen bed o individuales. Cenamos en el restaurante del hotel y buena relación calidad-precio.
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, pulito
La zona non è molto turistica, bisogna spostarsi a piedi per arrivare al lungo mare e ad alcuni ristoranti. Struttura un po' spartana. Al check in c'è stata un po' di confusione con un altro ospite con un nome simile.
In centro a Sandakan e comodo a tutto, camera comoda e buona colazione a buffet
Bright clean room with rear view on to the forest. Mosque nearby but the call for prayer was pleasant and melodic rather than a cacophony. Comfortable twin beds, adequate storage space and clean bathroom. Kettle, cups and tea/coffee provided. Excellent breakfast. Good wi-fi. Early check in permitted although price of 50 MAR was a bit steep. Free luggage storage while we went on Kinabatangan river trip. Excellent location just a few minutes walk from the waterfront and close to Agnes Keith house. Good aircon.
Standard twin room was a bit on the small side. Much bigger rooms were available at a cheaper price with a late booking if only I had known
Camera enorme con vista, bagno con vasca e doccia, staff gentile, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Prima bedden en douche.
Zeer gedateerd
Staff were very friendly. Great breakfast.

House-keeping can be improved
Localisation très centrale dans Sandakan et pratique pour rayonner à Sepilok ou au Kinabatangan. Hôtel vieillissant mais très bien entretenu, très propre et personnel accueillant. Buffet de petit déjeuner continental classique.
Good location, clean.
Dated decor
Tutto carino pulito colazione inclusa staff simpatico
Non c' erano prese vicino al letto
Personal muy amable.
El agua de la ducha salía muy floj. La cadena del WC perdía agua y sonaba toda la noche y el agua del grifo salió marrón durante unos minutos
Value for money. We stayed in the higher than basic rooms for a bit extra. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel is older style but the rooms and facilities are spacious, clean and comfortable. Quiet, good location and short walk to city centre. Quality nearby restaurants including the hotel restaurant. Our experience is that the hotel deserves a higher overall rating
No negatives
Location
Air freshner in room too strong
Great location and room was good for price i paid. However felt a little dated. Breakfast was decent.
The room felt dated, needs to be refurbished.
El tattoo, la limpieza y baño amplio
Más varíedad en el desayuno
Great location
Struttura pulita, colazione abbondante. Siamo stati una notte prima di partire per un tour
Corridoi e bagni un po' datati, ma comunque puliti
Wir haben hier 2 Nächte verbracht. Das Hotel liegt sehr gut im Stadtgebiet. Nicht mittendrin aber auch nicht weit draußen. Direkt am Heritage Walk einem Spazierweg zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten der kleinen Stadt. Es ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und hat seine beste Zeit hinter sich. Auch die Sauberkeit ist verbesserungswürdig. Das Frühstück ist hingegen sehr gut und erfüllt alle landestypischen Ansprüche. Der Preis ist fair. Insgesamt also eine mittlere Bewertung.
Clean and comfortable – great location in the middle of the city.
Breakfast is good
Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Klimaanlage kühlt angenehm nicht so extrem kalt
Kein Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen schon aber ansonsten gut
Emplacement et chambre
Le prix exorbitant de la lessive
Die Zimmer sind groß, bequeme Betten, großer TV, tolles Personal, großes Frühstück mit vielen asiatischen Hauptspeisen und auch europäischen Komponenten.
Die Fenster waren etwas hellhörig und die Klimaanlage ließ sich nicht gut einstellen.
Staff.
Dirty bed sheets, shabby feel.
Location, restaurant food and breakfast. Friendly staff.
Very dated, bathroom need a refit. No fridge in room. Sandakan is quite rundown so location is ok for 1 night
Prima hotel, schoon, goed ontbijt
Geen nadelen
El personal, la limpieza, la ubicación excelentes, desayuno exquisito

Malonus personalas.
XXI amžiuje tokia aplinka nuteikia nemaloniai. Viskas susidėvėję, durys baisios, sutrūnijusios. Interjeras pasenęs, koridoriuje kilimai baisūs. Rankšluosčiai užlopyti. Vonioje sunkiai subėga vanduo.
Great location & restaurants
The room I had was pretty small
Room was clean
Very basic. Alarming poster about soiling bedsheets that made us wonder that it was a ‘pay by the hour hotel.’ Posters everywhere about extra charges. Rough area to stay in. Rats everywhere
Porządny hotel w dobrej cenie, dobre śniadanie.
Nawoływania z meczetu mogą przeszkodzi w spaniu ok. 5 rano.
Perfect base for the night before Kinabatangan river cruise, very close to the pick up point for a lot of the operators. Fairly clean and comfy Staff very friendly and helpful
Not sure how thoroughly cleaned our room was, as I found a cigarette butt on the floor of the bathroom on our arrival!! Other than that, the room appeared clean, sheets fresh
LOcation
The room view facing old/ruined unoccupied building
Staff was nice. Good location. Cheap price.
The rooms were very tired. Stains and holes in towels. Hand marks and smudges on walls. Beds were very hard and pillows were large and hard.
Spacious suite for the price.
Hot water isn’t hot enough when taking showers at night.
Központi részen van.
Nincs hajszárító se hűtő a szobában. Viszkettem az ágyneműtől.
Location n great service
Nothing to dislike. All good
The staff make a hotel
ロケーションは市場やアグネスキースの家にも近く便利
廊下やエレベーターなど全体的に施設は古いかんじ
Un hotel viejo a precio europeo. La zona alrededor no era para nada atractiva.
Location was ok.
Hotel and rooms are extremely dated. Rooms are very basic. Cost per night does not feel like value for money especially given the fact a basic fridge is not provided. This is a one night stay as a layover tbh.
First of all, this is my 1st visit to Sandakan after my last visit which was 20 years ago. I find the front office was friendly, welcoming & very accommodative. The room was good for a night stay. Breakfast was also very good, since have a wide selection. Thank you.
Only when we went out for a walk, their was a guy sitting across the hotel, who was holding a long parang. We had to make a different route to walk then. Mainly for us ladies is our safety. The location is fine.
工作人員特別親切
早餐沒什麼東西吃,而且晚去吃的客人更糟,被吃光的食材也不再補貨了
Bersih dan cantik
Decent sized room , comfy beds, powerful showers, breakfast ok and buffet style.
It was all good to be fair for the price
Personnel professionnel et attentif.
Moquette du couloir de l'étage totalement à changer.
Das Zimmer war Top. Es war etwas hellhörig, ansonsten war alles super. Das Frühstück morgens war sehr umfangreich. Und auch sonst konnte man gut in dem Restaurant essen. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Heritage Walk und nur 5 Minuten vom Ufer entfernt.
Exactly at city centre. Walking distance to Harbour Mall and shops. Convenient for travellers.
The parking space is at the back of the hotel. Very small space. Not that convenient to those who bring car. But you have no choice because that’s only safe place to keep your car. It’s risky to park around the shop nearby.
Good central location before trip to Turtle island
Call to prayer very loud at 4.30am in the morning. Breakfast quite basic.
Lovely hotel, the staff at reception are lovely and so kind. We would definitely recommend.

Dit is een prima hotel voor een verblijf in Sandakan, personeel is supervriendelijk, de locatie is prima, alles is goed te voet bereikbaar.
De kamers van het hotel zijn gedateerd, maar wel schoon, restaurant is daarentegen modern en pas opgeknapt denk ik. Het ontbijt is wat minimalistisch. De bedden zijn erg hard. Je krijgt maar 2 (bad) handdoken, geen reserve wc-rol op de kamer.
We stayed at Hotel Sandakan for a couple of nights in April, in a ‘deluxe twin room’. Very good location if you’re interested in the nearby Heritage Trail. Pleasant, efficient receptionist. Clean, modern lobby. Our room, 513, had a large picture window with a view over a few streets toward the water, 2 chairs, a small round table, dresser/desk, closet. Odd ‘light boards’, but we got use to them. The bathroom was just ok, and the tap water was tan. We weren’t bothered by the nearby mosque call to prayer. Breakfast, included in the price, was served in the restaurant next to the reception desk. The first morning was buffet style; the second morning they offered limited choices/not the buffet. There is a Chinese restaurant on the 1st floor, however we didn’t try it.
* Although the room description included a refrigerator, and there was a space made for a small one, there wasn't one in the room. * The lobby has been renovated however the hallways and rooms have not been. The photographs make the rooms look fresher and more updated than ours was.
Nichts
Alles
El Hotel se encuentra muy bien ubicado en Sandakan. En pleno centro de la ciudad pero alejado del bullicio de las calles centrales, a unos 20 minutos del Aeropuerto de Sandakan y a 40 minutos en coche de Sepilok. Llegué antes de la hora del Check-in y me guardaron el equipaje hasta que mi habitación estuvo preparada. Me avisaron por WhatsApp cuando la habitación estaba lista para entrar. El aire acondicionado funcionaba bien.
La habitación no estaba limpia del todo. Había pelos en el baño de los anteriores huéspedes, un tapón de una botella de agua, suciedad debajo del lavabo y la mampara de la ducha parece que no se ha limpiado desde que se abrió el hotel. El desayuno muy limitado y con pocas opciones. La piña estaba pasada. Valido para pasar una noche.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, from reception to housekeeping. Location was good, very close to town.
This hotel is falling apart. Everything in my room was broken, the wardrobe door, the toilet was leaking, there was a bad smell and there was black mold on the ceiling of my room. Also the shower head sprayed the water over the shower cabin into bathroom, unless you held the shower head the whole time, so the room was soaked after showering. There were very few options for western breakfast, and no western food left if you arrived after 8:30.

Het was zeer proper, het personeel zeer behulpzaam en er was keuze genoeg bij het ontbijt. Elke dag verse handdoeken, al was dat niet nodig, en overal vlakbij.
In Sandakan zelf is er niet veel te beleven, maar in de ruime omgeving wel!

Nothing really
Close to airport Helpful staff
立地は良い
冷蔵庫がないのはだいぶつらいですね…
Lokalizacja, cena, przystępny room service. Obsługa miła.
Było głośno bo obok stoi meczetem. To jest bardzo męcząca dla ludzi z innych krajów. W trakcie ramadanu jest bardzo głośno. Bardzo słaby internet był w pokoju. Musiałam Korzystać z własnego internetu.
Całkiem czysto, łóżko wygodne, dobra lokalizacja, obsługa miła
Hałas bo stoi obok meczet. To nie wina hotelu, ale jest w nim głośno. Słaby internet był w pokoju. Praktycznie nie działa. Brak lodówki
Excellent location for the heritage trail. Very clean, comfortable and helpful friendly staff
Located 100m from the mosque so was woken up by the call to prayer.
USB電源があった。 ロケーション抜群。 朝食も美味しい。
見晴らしは悪い。 窓の外は廃屋と崖。
Excellent location, very clean and spacious room, friendly and helpful staff, good selection at breakfast.
It is right next to the mosque so every morning we were woken up around 5 am by the call to prayer. Good breakfast but, they don’t light the food warmers so the food is cold, which is a shame as they offer a good selection.

Het personeel. De receptionist was uitzonderlijk vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook tijdens het ontbijt werd op verzoek extra service verleend.
Eigenlijk niets.
