A good breakfast was included in the price. ##### Jen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Raphael 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Could Be Better The room was spacious but very noisy, making it hard to get a good night’s rest. The bathroom was unclean, with visible mold in several areas. However, the breakfast was generous and the staff were welcoming ##### Raphael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharlene 27 Jun 2025 The property is central to a few attractions that we wanted to see and do.The staff is kind and eager and keen to help.When i booked our stay i chose the junior suite with a bath because i like baths after long walks but the bath plug wasn't working and it looked like it wasn't working for some time.We had a pleasant stay apart from that's. ##### Sharlene Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness A/C was a big plus, but overall the room was pretty dirty. No fridge in the room. Staff were very nice and friendly. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristen 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hotel Sandakan met our needs for a one night stay. The beds were comfortable and the AC kept things quite cool. As I expected, the hotel is older and as such a bit run down. The free breakfast had ample selection for our family. For a short trip, I would stay here again. ##### Kristen Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brook 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay at the Hotel Sandakan. Room was great for our family of four. Great view out to the Sandakan harbour. Lovely breakfast in the restaurant (we also had lunch there twice as part of a tour we were on, and can confirm that was very yummy too). ##### Brook Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitsutoyo 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very close to mole and surrounded by many Malay restaurants ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40602807-9d0e-4142-aa34-66f3aa404591-1754217262773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mitsutoyo Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SIU HIANG 21 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable stay A comfortable stay ##### SIU HIANG Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeffrey 11 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very poor It was so bad after we stayed for one night we asked for a refund for our other 3 nights & booked another hotel. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KAZUO 27 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 街の中心部の、やや奥まった場所に有り、部屋は静かで快適。比較的コンパクトな街なのでホテルから歩いて街中を探索するのにも便利な場所に有る。 ##### KAZUO Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### NancyLee 19 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value One night stay on our way back to KK/KL. Really nice staff. Great breakfast. Hotel is a bit warn but fine for a short stay. ##### NancyLee Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### NancyLee 12 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place for short stay in Sandakan There was a mixup with our reservation that didn’t show up in the hotel’s computer. We finally got squared away but had to ask a few times about the problem. It seemed they were reluctant to have to ask us about our booking details but were very nice and apologetic. The room was well appointed and stocked with water, coffee, tea and bathroom amenities. The corridor is warn and in need of carpet and brighter lighting. Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Just a couple blocks from the waterfront, but Sandakan is not a town you need to plan to stay for more than a day. ##### NancyLee Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Overall good! The rooms are clean and cozy - bed and pillows slightly stiff and it took a long time for them to find my booking and check me in then when I arrived. Seemed to be a little bit of a problem with organisation/communication cause the first day they didn’t know I had paid for breakfast and then the cleaners came to my room and thought I was gonna check out one day prior than my actual check out. But otherwise good service - friendly staff and nice food! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Janice 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient location Comfortable enough room with a good bathroom. Wi-fi never seemed to work properly and had to keep logging in again. We were out all day till 4pm but on our return found that the room had not been made up and had to call housekeeping. We had breakfast the first morning but there weren’t many suitable European choices. For some reason our booking for the second day did not include breakfast bu5 we found a cheap restaurant across the road with a more suitable breakfast. Staff in restaurant were helpful. Easy to walk to Agnes Keith House and the harbour. ##### Janice Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Inge 14 Jul 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Can you take the bad with the good? his hotel did not receive, or did not see, our booking via hotels.com; no idea if hotels.com/expedia did not confirm our booking. It therefor took hours to get rooms (we booked 2), a lot of confusion; no explanation. Tried to contact hotels.com and expedia. Passed around 4 different people with no body taking responsibility. the hotel is run down, not clean but the beds were comfortable. bathrooms very much in need of a refurbishment. Pictures on hotels.com must be from long time ago. some notes advertised refurbishments had taken place earlier this year and so perhaps other floors are in better condition. We had a room on the 2nd and 4th floor. the breakfast was a mixture of asian and european. they have a waffle station, freshly made and an "egg" station. this was nice. the hotel is well located; a block away from the see front. the cost charged if booked direct is about 30% less as if you book it via hotels.com; till no reaction from hotels.com on this incident. ##### Inge Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 13 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Big, clean and comfy I booked Hotel Sandakan on the recommendation of the driver I used out at Sepilok, and I'm grateful that I did. The hotel was great, in a good location close to countless eateries, and several convenience stores/supermarkets. Service was excellent. The room was large, clean, and very comfortable - I stayed in the Junior Suite. The room had both a shower and bath. Highly recommend if staying in Sandakan. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 9 Jun 2019 We booked family room for 4 persons but that room type was not available. Even though the hotel has gave us extra bed but the room size definitely not as big as what we expect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Inaccurate information. Your Home-Page information is an exhaustive and inaccurate example. I ask for this hotel before reservation from their homepage at "Contact Us". I asked for this hotel which room grade available to use bath-Tub. But I received Answer from them only before day. If I have exact Information before reserve,I can get a room with bathtub as same price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ievgen 14 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Great hotel in the past, needs maintenance today I guess hotel was great some time ago, but needs maintenance today, especially the bathroom which is really worn-out. Toilet was a bit leaking, bathroom drain was a bit blocked, one lamp was not working, etc. - needs maintenance. Despite the fact that I booked a non-smoking room, the corridor was smelly and I was able to smell cigarette smoke from bathroom vents when somebody smoked in another room. The staff was polite and helpful. Breakfast was OK. No critical issues with room cleanness. In general - good for its price. had no critical issues staying here. ##### Ievgen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jared 4 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Dated but friendly The hotel is dated but undergoing a much needed renovation. The staff were all very friendly, professional and eager to assist. If you can get it, room 8-15 is probably the best in the place as it has a nice view out over the water. ##### Jared Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cameron Highlands Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Cameron-Highlands-Resort.h1592373.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaya Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaya-Island-Hotels-Gaya-Island-Resort.h4981793.Hotel-Information) > > [Gayana Marine Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Gayana-Marine-Resort.h2322305.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest City Johor brand new homestay 2019](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-Forest-City-Johor-Brand-New-Homestay-2019.h39967063.Hotel-Information) > > [Redang Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Redang-Island-Hotels-Redang-Island-Resort.h11666689.Hotel-Information) > > [Father's Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Fathers-Guest-House.h9456475.Hotel-Information) > > [Sabah Tea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ranau-Hotels-Sabah-Tea-Garden.h4231368.Hotel-Information) > > [Strawberry Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brinchang-Hotels-Strawberry-Park-Resort.h8395.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanjong Jara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dungun-Hotels-Tanjong-Jara-Resort.h892199.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanini Sepilok (Formerly Nature Lodge Sepilok)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Nature-Lodge-Sepilok.h15451629.Hotel-Information) > > [Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaya-Island-Hotels-Bunga-Raya-Island-Resort-Spa.h2939927.Hotel-Information) > > [Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Poring Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Sutera-Sanctuary-Lodges-At-Poring-Hot-Springs.h4326031.Hotel-Information) > > [NEWLINA HOMESTAY, Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang, Malaysia.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nibong-Tebal-Hotels-Newlina-Homestay.h34345115.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuaran-Hotels-Shangri-La-Rasa-Ria.h48661.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Express KLIA Terminal 1 - Airside Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Express-KLIA-Airside-Transit-Hotel.h10945921.Hotel-Information) > > [Sutera @ Mantanani Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pulau-Mantanani-Besar-Hotels-Sutera-Mantanani-Island-Resort-SPA.h33350901.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178267-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Viva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klang-Hotels-Hotel-Viva.h18059905.Hotel-Information) > > [Japamala Resort by Samadhi – Age 12 and Above Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tioman-Island-Hotels-Japamala-Resort.h1709375.Hotel-Information) > > [Map Travelodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Map-Travelodge.h19927930.Hotel-Information) > > [Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort Tioman Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tioman-Island-Hotels-Tunamaya-Beach-Spa-Resort.h6820550.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabin Wildlife Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahad-Datu-Hotels-Tabin-Wildlife-Resort.h6928953.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuantan-Hotels-The-Chateau-Spa-Organic-Wellness-Resort.h4308783.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Hotel.h552055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reef Dive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mataking-Island-Hotels-The-Reef-Dive-Resort.h15092115.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Damai Laut Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lumut-Hotels-Swiss-Garden-Beach-Resort-Damai-Laut.h861775.Hotel-Information) > > [Empire Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pulau-Perhentian-Besar-Hotels-Eco-Marine-Perhentian-Island-Resort-Hostel.h19887698.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest City Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-Forest-City-Marina-Hotel.h17399959.Hotel-Information) > > [Sepilok Jungle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sepilok-Jungle-Resort.h5140593.Hotel-Information) ---
