The hotel is in a great location, right on the waterfront and there is no shortage of eating places nearby. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The extractor fan from the hotel kitchen made the rooms at the front somewhat noisy in the morning and evening. Breakfast was very good.

Nice enough room, great location and excellent staff, comfy bed, only issue was a bad smell that came from the drains, the staff were quick to spray the drains for us but it only temporarily masked the smell. Didn’t affect our stay massively but would have been nice to not have an odour. Would still recommend for a short stay in sandakan!

Basic but fine

Basic accomodation - served its purpose. We thought there was a problem with the air conditioning, and they responded quickly and thankfully the remote simply needed new batteries. There was some nearby music/street noise at around 9pm that would have been disruptive, but it did not go too late. Location is handy. Love the memorabilia!!!

Think twice before a room

An alarm from a building next door went off about 17 times around 1pm and continued until around 9pm. When contacted reception staff they were at a loss to support us and informing that they were unable to contact the building owner and would ring our room with an update, this never occurred

Exceeded my expectations

A lovely little hotel in a great location on the waterside with loads of food and drink options nearby. Definitely get a room with a view of the water.

A nice seaside gem!

This is a little gem on the seaside walk. Terrific breakfast and the staff were amazing. Also the quirky music collections were a nice added touch. The beds are a bit firm and it’s not a luxury hotel but the price reflects it. I would stay here again!

Good location but otherwise it's a basic budget hotel. Nothing to rave about. It's a good stopping point for us as we moved onto the resorts.

Good accommodation in Sandakan covering all necessities. Sandakan doesn’t have a lot to offer tourists other than being a stopping off hub but this hotel caters well to the needs of travellers and has everything you need for a comfortable stay

The staff were all nice and kind, very professional. The hotel was ok, lots of movie memorabilia. The restaurant next to the hotel serves good food. Area around the property is not pleasing, it's dirty and smells. The city is great, with lots of stores around. They should keep it cleaner, no littering. My room was small but overlooking the sea. Nice view from my room.
