"For the area of Sandakan that this hotel is in this is a pretty good option if you really have to stay here! I would not recommend the area at all. The staff here were very attentive and friendly. The room was adequate but the pillows were horrendous! Just lumpy lumps of hard sponge! The shower and sink use a pump system which was not smooth at all and you either had a ‘power’ shower or a trickle.

Top Sandakan Hotel Reviews

Sabah Hotel Sandakan

Sabah Hotel Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with pool area. Plenty of choices for eating. Would highly recommend"

The Pavilion Hotel

The Pavilion Hotel

6/10 Okay

"It was only a brief stopover before a river cruise so didn't expect much and I guess it met expectations. Area around the hotel was a little dirty and there wasn't much to walk to. Hotel room was basic (fine) and the sheets and floor were clean. Bathroom wasn't as clean. Had a TV but it came with a 2 prong plug ??? Which makes no sense when its a 3 prong country! Breakfast very limited for western palate - no fruit or breaded things apart from toast. Overall as expected - not sure it's 3 star though "

Sanbay Hotel

Sanbay Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This is an old hotel, it used to be one of the best hotels in Sandakan before. Now I saw the building itself is outstanding there but I also realized that the quality of their service and maintenance are not perfect anymore because of recession by the pandemic. One of the reasons why I decided this hotel for staying, the review mentions a " nice breakfast". But they don't have it now. Regarding amenities like a shampoo and toilet rolls, it requires payment if you get extra. I stayed 2nights 3days, so I was wondering If I should buy some. These are the things uncomfortable part staying this hote. However, this hotel fee is cheap and stuffs are friendly. I have no complaints."
