Great Hotel for the price
Really good hotel to stay at with large rooms and large bathroom, staff friendly and attentive.
Only a quick 5 minute walk to the waterfront, it’s an excellent location for tourists.
Hotel has 2 restaurants and food quality is high, breakfast buffet also good options.
For the price and location a very good hotel to base yourself at if you want to stay in Sandakan.

Well located for Sandakan, clean, comfortable with excellent family rooms and an a great view.
Well located for Sandakan, clean and great sized rooms
We stayed here as we were leaving early from Sandakan jetty and didn’t want drive from Sepilok and it was an unexpected gem! I was worried after reading some recent reviews but the room we had (family room on a Selingan floor) was immaculately clean. The decor is dated in style but looks like it has been recently refreshed - paint is new and unmarked, tiles and sealant in the bathroom are spotless and so on (and I can be pretty fussy!). Admittedly the corridor is not air conditioned and is carpeted so the humidity means it smells musty - which doesn’t give a great impression on approach to the room but the room itself was was great. Air conditioning worked well and was quiet, beds were comfy, shower had good water pressure and was hot.
The family room had two large double beds, plenty of space for luggage, a large TV, all the standard amenities (shampoo, soap, bottled water, tea, coffee etc). There are notices explaining extra charges for additional amenities or excess cleaning required, which I think it’s perfectly reasonable for a hotel at this price point - it’s how they maintain the value for money. I was most impressed that a family room for 4 people actually had 4 bath towels! Most rooms even when booked for 4 in high end hotels, at best provide 3 and require you to ask housekeeping for the extra!
Breakfast was good - options for western and Asian, hot and tasty.
Overall it’s not a fancy resort hotel however, if you are looking for a clean comfortable hotel in sandakan, suitable for a family I would absolutely recommend this one.

No Wi-Fi
There was no Wi-Fi on our floor and there was no interest in remedying it. No help from the desk staff. The breakfast was reasonable.

Location is Nearby to Tourist Spots
A hotel on the hill and near to downtown, Sim Sim Water Village, Agnes Keith House and St Michael's Church. Morning breakfast is as simple as the hotel. Nothing much but adequate. We like their plain porridge, very tasty indeed. I heard that lunch and dinner are delicious here. To find a parking space is a big problem in this popular place, but we just give our car keys to the Security, he will take care of our car. It is very affordable to stay in this hotel and it is convenient to find food and shop around.
Very good location
