Everything was wonderful. The staff were really helpful, and they spoke fluent english. The room had just been renewed and everything smelt new. They had amazing decoration, probably with the help of a local designer. They are also pioneers in putting towels as a blankets. Sandakan has been the best stop of my 2 years trip in Malaysia. Wish I could have stayed longer...

Very lovely staff, room was a great size and felt clean. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was shared but one of the showers didn’t work and the water didn’t get hot, but wasn’t really an issue considering Borneo is so hot. Location was good close to shops, cafes and restaurants. We’d stay here again! Thank you

Friendly and helpful staff who gave good food recommendations. It's at a good price as Sandakan is quite expensive. Basic shared toilet and shower but did the job.

The room was quite bright in the morning and no lamps.

The room is relatively close to the city center, and there are many restaurants downstairs, with convenient locations

There are many insects and cockroaches in the room, which can be seen everywhere and the room is not very clean

Everything you need, hot water, AC, small kitchen with plates and bowls, less than 10 mins to the airport, hooks in the room and friendly staff. WiFi was good

The road was noisy at night, could hear the person next door coughing, not much in the area. Only a big towel as a blanket.
