Hotels near Sandakan Airport, Sandakan

Glad that I stayed just for 1 night, but that 1 night cause me to have a bar flu, as I am allergic to dusty. The place itself is okay, and quite convenient for those who just want to stay for a day transit, as it is near to the airport, and only 20mins to Sepilok Orang Utan. The place is rundown, as u can see in the pictures, they seem not to have effort to change the bad wall paper, clean the dusty etc. Really need to refurbish again. Stay away if u have an allergic to dusty, u will regret like me. But a good area for transit in terms of location. Breakfast food was just okay.

The hotel location very convenient. Nearby got a lot restaurant and the food very nice. In front the hotel got bataras hypermarket. Highly recommended.

Its perfect location is still the major reason that brought us to this hotel for multiple times. Numerous seafood restaurants and cafes are around within walking distance. Rooms are clean, moderately spacious and well maintained. Simply good for short stay.

Not much of amenities within the hotel. But there are eateries around the hotel location.

Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service. Service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable.

1. Lack of comfortable seats at lobby. Used to have sofas, which replaced with wooden chairs now and it's limited. If the policies dont allow customer to check in earlier then please provide more seats for customers to wait. Because alot of customer waiting for check in, we have to sit at dining area to wait for check in and it's hot inside. 2. Lobby are surrounded by glasses, expected it would be hotter. The current Air cond system at lobby can't provide a comfortable environment. It's quite warm inside. 3. Some Ushers at lobby appears less friendly. 4. Room cleanliness are acceptable. 5. Wifi from room not stable. Need to reconnect few times during movie time 6. Shower gels are limited. 7. Breakfast: -rice noodles are acceptable. -dishes are bit salty. -suggest to provide more varieties ie: croissant, nasi lemak, potatos. 8. Our room coridor door can't be locked.

The service is ok' Very satisfied with the good service, the cleanliness is also good.. our family is very comfortable and the room is spacious to stay at this hotel.

First time to Sandakan, arrived late at night so chose a hotel which should be easy ti find and bigger scale at avoid any surprise of late check-in. Location is 20 mins Grab from airport. Nice entrance and staff is friendly. It is quite an old old but I think they refurbished. Look good but the facilities kind of dated. First night hoping for a nice hot shower but the shower head fell down. Luckily could put it back as dont want to change room late at night. My bath tub stopper chain broken so after a bath the water stayed. We booked junior suite as I didn’t want carpet room. Smaller than on the photo but overall clean. Balcony is not really for sitting out though. However the hotel carpet outside the room smells a bit I guessed ventilation was the issue. Breakfast was good. I booked via trip.com to include a child but somehow that we not counted and they supposed to charge me a fee. Finally they offered for courtesy. Best part was the swimming pool with slide, fun for kids. If to explore the Samdakan, this could be a good location as walking distance to Agnes Keith House, then taking the 100 steps to go to the town.

This is the sort of place where the staff will always greet you with ”hello, sir/ma'am” whenever they see you. Nice swimming pool and very good food at the restaurant, even though slightly pricy at first (I guess it's fine being a resort), the portions are actually huge and very fresh. Try their lemon chicken on rice for 20 ringgit (February 2024). All you can eat breakfast included for free even with the dorm bed: fried noodles, a very thick pancake, fruit, British breakfast, beef sausages, coffee, juice, etc. Walk-in price is 80RM, cheaper here on Trip. The dorm looks exactly the same as the one I staid in Kinabatangan, which is always funny (same contractor?). Comfortable night, with a new AC and fan, specially so considering I had it all to myself since the other few guests they had had private accommodation. Dorm showers have plenty of hot water and are clean, but there's no soap or amenities beyond the towel they give you at check-in. Bring your own. The staff at the restaurant sometimes disappears for no reason in the middle of service, even if there's about 20 of them considering réception is right there. They helped me book a taxi to the airport (50 ringgit), since there's no grab available (spent 1h looking for one). Don't bother trying to get one, ask them to call a taxi for you, really. This resort is about 1km away from the three main things to do at sepilok. You will be walking on the side of the road to get anywhere since transportation options are scarce and expensive. Overall this is standard of service here in Borneo, so don't settle for less than this.

We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! The standard rooms are on the basic side, however for the money we paid we felt this was more than adequate (Considering you are in the middle of the jungle). The staff and the food were amazing and you’re well fed with the free breakfast! Actually very surprised at the previous reviews on here as the staff went above and beyond to cater to us and seemed really interested in our travel plans etc. Nothing was ever a bother for them and they seemed to really like their jobs from our point of view. We did make an effort to speak to all the staff (human decency), which in turn they were always super welcoming to us! The closeness to the attractions you want to see in Sepilok is the main bonus, with the orangutans and the sun bears being within a 10 minute walk. We spoke to some other travellers who weren’t staying here but came for lunch and they said how they highly regretted not booking here as theirs was practically derelict. The pool area is great for a cool down and very refreshing and the wildlife we seen around the resort alone was amazing. We 100% would come back and would definitely recommend!
