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.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The rooms were basic, but comfortable. There was entertainment going on outside and it sounded like the person singing was in our room. The structure didn't block outside nose very well.

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.

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
