Good stay. Could be better

Very pleasant conference / function style hotel. Nothing really wrong with it but a bit impersonal and set on its own away from restaurants and bars. Pool was very dirty - we wouldn't use it. WiFi was slow and patchy. Bed was comfortable and shower excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disappointing Stay – Wouldn’t Recommend

The only good thing about this hotel is the ample free parking. Unfortunately, the stay itself was disappointing. The room was not clean—found a long hair on the table and food crumbs on the bedside table. The bath towels were old and worn out, and they were the only towels provided. No box tissues were available, and the closet was dirty with only three hangers. The shower was broken, making it inconvenient to use. If you don’t have a car, I wouldn’t recommend staying here due to the location. Overall, not a comfortable or pleasant experience.

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.
