"Over all good"

"We loved our stay at Sabah hotel as a family of two adults and one child (9yrs old). We booked it for the pool mainly as we knew Sandakan town didn't have much to offer compared to other places on our trip. My daughter loved the pool especially the slides and they provide free pool towels which was great too. The rooms were cleaned daily and were very spacious and we had a pool view. The decor is a little dated and rooms a bit musty but the rooms had air con which was such a relief to get back to after a day in the heat. We used Sandakan as a base for our trips to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation centre and for an overnight trip to Turtle Island to see the baby turtles being released into the sea. Both were fantastic and I'd highly recommend! Sabah hotel is about 5 mins drive to the main town and as it's situated on a hill we used Grab taxis to get to and from the town as it was too hot to walk it with our daughter. Breakfast was included which was another big plus for us and it was buffet style and had lots of options. We ate a few times in the Plantation cafe during lunch or dinner and were impressed with the quality of food. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend to anyone. "

"All gpod for yhe country and area. Not 5 star but ok and great staff"

"Mudah parking. Di tengah pusat bandar. "

"Much better area of Lahad Datu, compared to town closer to airport. Lots of small shops and a good supermarket below hotel. Area feels relatively safe and we enjoyed the Night Market for dinner (although we were very much a spectacle for locals who are not used to tourists). Hotel itself is reasonably modern, good size bathroom and shower. Beds were OK for comfort and air con worked OK. There is a lot of noise from the streets and shops around, especially on the nights of the night markets until around 10 or 11pm. "

"Very out dated property in the old area of Lahad Datu. Felt quite unsafe walking around the area, everything was run down. The hotel is above a mall, but the elevator requires no key to access the hotel levels, so not very secure. Air con is not efficient and extremely noisey. Bed was horrible, towels and sheets not clean. Cracks in wall paper and bathroom in terrible condition. Staff didnt speak much english, so check in was difficult and gave no information about room, hotel or area. It may be cheap, but you can do a lot better for similar money. Recommend looking elsewhere in the newer area of Lahad Datu (My Inn)"

"There are improvements being carried out, which will make a difference in the future. We were unable to get the advertised wifi at all, despite the router being reset many times. This was annoying. On four occasions we had random people enter our room without knocking, which was not okay. Once guy even got cross with us and said we should have locked the door. I had to clean the bathroom before use and despite being given a non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes was present I. The duvet, towels and there was cigarette ash all over the top of the toilet seat. Cigarette burns were present on the furniture. A local mosque is across the road and while we enjoy hearing the call to prayer, it was not so great to hear each session broadcast over mega-speakers outside. Every mic drop/exchange, everything and with single-glazed windows, we didn't get much sleep. Close to amenities though and staff are nice. "

"Much better than the website photos"

"The most amazing stay. The kitchen excelled with all our food allergies and nothing was too much trouble for them. We saw wild Orangutans near the lodge. Only 4 rooms, so quiet and less mosquitoes than those places on the river. I loved my stay and highly recommend to others."
