Hotel Sandakan

The room was comfortable and large. Had a bath, which is a great bonus. I had two excellent nights sleep. Little noise. House keeping kept the room to a high standard throughout. Enough shower gels to keep you going for your stay. Very much enjoyed the stay.

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.

We had a lovely clean and very quiet room, the black out curtains were great! It is just on the edge of one of the main streets leading down to the waterfront which is a great place to grab some food, there is also a big mall with lots of shops / stalls to grab some gifts, clothes and well stocked pharmacy if you need medicines or sun lotions.

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.

Excellent location in city centre— walking distance to the market, waterfront etc. Helpful staff and excellent service. Buffet breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices. Lift available. Clean rooms
