Nice budget place, friendly service, big rooms. But all through the night we were tormented by sheets stinking with nasty cigarette odor. Unacceptable for a non-smoking room. More

This is a very clean and well kept hotel. Location is brilliant - right in the middle of town and very close to all nearby amenities. The room was small but very well furnished and the bathroom was great too. Only downside was that the staff were not particularly helpful or friendly but this didn't bother me that much. Would...

Central Hotel Sandakan is strategically located at the heart of the busy Sandakan town. There is 24-hr taxi stand just round the corner, varied kinds of eateries, supermarket, KFC, an excellent cake shop named "Kelly's". Since most of the tourists do not come to Sandakan for a leisurely stay, the location and the amenities provided by the hotel are good... More

The hotel is located in the middle of Sandakan CBD with lots of activities going on around it. The hotel itself was clean and decent. And it is also cheap. They have free wifi too. But if you are driving there might be a problem with parking if you are arriving during peak hours or weekends. [btw, this place should... More

This hotel is right at the center of the Main Town area of Sandakan. Hotel room has a great space & clean. Staff was friendly but clueless. Ask about the number for the airport they can't provide. Around the hotel I can find banks, eating places, supermarket, cake shop, wet market, KFC & many more. I would say this hotel... More

The hotel is a few streets back from the Waterfront restaurants, so only a few minutes walk. There is parking in the street which must be paid for during the day, but is free overnight and on Sundays. Small but clean rooms, wi-fi internet, but no food in the hotel. Staff friendly but not much tourism knowledge, let us use... More
