Very comfortable, good sized room with panoramic view of the city, waterfront and bay from our upper story room. We enjoyed the time in the room watching the street life below. We didn't have breakfast included in our deal, so did not experience the hotel catering. Good, affordable street restaurants available close by to the hotel. It was an interesting walk through the backstreets and street markets down to the waterfront. Only took 5-10 minutes, and right on the waterfront is a busy modern mall if you need shops or a foodhall as an alternative to the street food. Sandakan is a nice town with a number of worthwhile attractions and sights. The Rainforest Discovery Centre was a highlight, and as Australians, a visit to the Sandakan War Memorial was a moving experience. Google the nearby Rooftop bar (about 10mins walk from the hotel towards the water) - great place for sunset drinks and snacks.

Room was large. Bed was a bit hard but I slept well. Buffet breakfast was ok, different items on the 2 days I was there. I had a pasta seafood dinner in the restaurant that was good. Staff arranged a taxi driver for trip to Sepilok Orangutan Rehab Center. I ended up staying here 2 nights.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, the reception lobby is large, nicely layed out and spotless. Our room was on an upper floor with great views over the city to the harbour, (nice watching the boats move around). It was clean and big enough for 3. Breakfasts were fine. But the location was excellent for walking around the old city and down to the night markets which are on the weekends along the waterfront. Good value for money.

Hotel Sandakan is an amazing journey back in time. They can really make something out of this, maybe turn it into a theme of itself (like 'Retro 90s Hotel Sandakan'). Make sure all facilities in there are up to date and things get cleaned thoroughly, and you've got yourself an amazing business idea. The only thing is, it must nog market itself as being a state of the art luxury and modern hotel, but I don't think the hotel currently does that. We had the king size room, staff was friendly, facilities were good, breakfast was fine. There was valet parking, though parking space is limited at the hotel. You could easily walk into the city centre of Sandakan from the hotel. Airconditioning was good, the room had a fridge, smelled very clean and was very spacious. Soundproofing was good,

Room is big enough, can fit 2xadults and 2xkids. Facilities complete. Bed confortable. Air-cond working great. Stayed at the 4th floor with City View. Can see Sandakan Town and the sea. Equipped with shower and bath tub. The breakfast was great, enjoyed the food. Check in and check out were smooth. Kudos to the receptionist. Limited parking, so need to pre-inform during booking. Hotel staff will help park our cara and keep the key. The staff will prpare the car during check out. The hotel looks old school but the management is doing a good job in maintaining the look.
