3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

We are all budget travelers (aka, backackers) so not by any means fussy, but this place was terrible. It was a last minute choice of accommodation after a backpacker hostel in the area stuffed up our booking. For the super cheap price we didn't expect a whole lot but for any establishment to be part of the hospitality industry, you... More

The reviews for this hotel were very good when I booked it. My friend and I had separate rooms. There were ants in her room so asked for the room to be fumigated, when she got back there was a huge cockroach (dead) in the room. We decided to spend the night in my room. Whilst sitting on the bed... More

We arrived in our room to find the aircon broken and leaking all over. We were able to change rooms to one on the other side of the building which was just as noisy as the first. Very depressing setting, we only stayed as a sleep over yet it was still unappealing. Beware: I think I got bed bugs from... More

The rooms are brilliant, clean, large and very comfortable. I think we had some of best nights sleep staying here on our holiday around Borneo. My friend and I were traveling around Borneo and this place was excellent value for money compared to other places we stayed in. We paid 60RM for a twin bedroom with AC, private bathroom, 2... More

We initially planned to book Hotel Sandakan but we decided to walk in to ask for a quote since this hotel is directly across the street. Only RM68 a night for a double room with AC, we could careless if the lobby is 5 times smaller than Hotel Sandakan. Besides, this hotel comes with free access to PC with internet... More

Nice room with big window, fresh painted walls, TV, towels, soap/shampoo, AC, fridge, 2 bottles water, wifi, and bathroom with glass shower door. Not spotlessly clean but decent. Good value and you get what’s advertised with no fuss. The people and value here are much better than the Seafront hotel where I was originally going to stay. I’d stay here... More

Hotel was in a great location and was great value for money. Breakfast was not included in our room price but for A$6.00 for both of us we didn't care. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are airconditioned and have cable tv and are very clean. More
