Fairly standard ‘business travel’ style hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. Hotel restaurant was closed for everything except breakfast, with no car this involved walking out of the hotel along the grass verge alongside a busy road and open sewer to nearest shops/restaurants.

Hotel in poor condition
This hotel is quite disappointing. The towels are yellowing and frayed, the shower water was cold, the bedsheets had stains on them and the breakfast was limited and poor. On the plus side it was cheap and closer to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary than staying in Sandakan itself.

Hotel in poor condition
This hotel is like the England performance at euro 2024, promised a lot, performed poorly and ultimately failed to deliver. The towels are yellowing and frayed, the shower water was cold, the bedsheets had stains on them and the breakfast was limited and poor. On the plus side it was cheap and closer to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary than if we stayed in Sandakan itself.

The rooms and staff were very nice but the hotel has very limited food and drink options, and the area around it has nothing to offer - other than KFC and Pizza.

Standard and Efficient Stay
The hotel is standard and efficient…. A good option for the price. The front desk staff are not very welcoming or friendly but maybe there was a language barrier? Although it didn’t seem to be. The room was comfortable, good AC, clean except for spot on the duvee cover which I could not tell if it was a spot that hadn’t been cleaned or a stain so we just turned the quilt around and hoped it was clean and just a stain. One flat pillow per bed but again, for the price, it is a good hotel to stay at for in-and-out of Sandakan. Breakfast is pretty lackluster but I don’t think American tourists are the target market and again, for the price, it was fine. We had congee with sugar in it and instant coffee. Overall, there is nothing fancy or service- oriented about this hotel but it was clean, efficient, and a good night’s sleep for the very reasonable price.
