we stayed here for one night. it's located on the hill above the town so a cab or 2km walk is needed to get to the centre. very good sized rooms and a great rate. free internet and great pool. not too touristic. alcohol needs to be consumed outside the a/c restaurant which is not a huge inconvenience.

We stayed for 6 days. The front desk and all other services were very good. All employees were friendly and helpful. Our room on the top floor was large enough but the furniture was dated, could use an upgrade. Bathroom ok, nothing special one way or the other. Grounds and swimmingpool excellent. The location is a little out of the... More

Good location. Friendly very helpful staff. Service excellent. We found this great value for money. It was advertised to us as 4 star and everything about it goes with this until you get to the room which was very dated. Faded, fraying carpets, furniture, linen and smelt rather of cigarette smoke. In serious need of updating but otherwise this place... More

My family and I stayed here for 6 nights in 2 Deluxe room. We have visited Sandakan at least 8 times because my Dad is from Sandakan. It is our second time staying at the Sandakan Hotel. Unlike the Sabah Hotel, Hotel Sandakan is located in Sandakan Town (and during the period we stayed here, was unusually more expensive than... More

Stayed one night here before exploring the wildlife hotspots. the hotel and rooms are basic and need refurbishing. That said, the staff were delightful and the place was spotless. We had breakfast and lunch there and both meals were excellent. The grounds and forested views were really lovely and well kept. Apparently they are building a Sheraton in Sandakan. This... More

We stay here once every 2 years whenever we are having family reunion. Effectient service (although sometime lack of smile), huge room size with double-double bed, great location, Chinese Restaurant on... More

The bathroom was ok, shower was fine. they have an area in reception where you can store your bags while you explore the... More

Nice facility which was all we could ask for in economical overnighter en route. The rooms were quite nice if a little musty smelling. The restaurant and service were quite satisfactory but unremarkable. The best feature was probably the location which was very central. More
