I have come, to sandakan for travel, I like of service, them give me. it seems a bit worn and, like all buildings in the tropics, has that layer of mould growing on the the exterior. The restaurant is not good...okay for the breakfast that's included but that's about it

For a relatively new hotel (2007) it is in a pretty poor state and the upkeep seems to be lacking in many departments - moldy smells everywhere, stained sheets, carpets not vacuumed in months, worn out showers. On the plus side the staff were super helpful and friendly and made the stay enjoyable.

First off, the photos of the hotel are generous. Though only built in 2007, it seems a bit worn and, like all buildings in the tropics, has that layer of mould growing on the the exterior. The restaurant is not good...okay for the breakfast that's included but that's about it. Forget about vegetarian options other than the cheese sandwich. Sandakan... More

I have to say the food is really bad. Medium well steak is soft and rubbery and I waited for 45mins with only three customers in the restaurant. Garden salad of RM10 comprises of cucumber, carrot and celery, that's it. The crepe (dessert) was served in the beginning of the meal!!!!!Yes, before the main course!!!! The worse thing is it...

We used this hotel, as a place to leave our bags for the day so we could visit attractions. We arrived 9am, the room was not ready so we left our bags at reception, when we returned about 5 hours later our bags were still in the foyer near reception where we had left them. We went up to our... More

Stayed for one night after staying in Sepilok. Swiss is simply a room for the night – would not want to stay more. Not amazingly clean (blood stained sheets & bath mat did not go down too well!). Shower was good and staff friendly especially in the restaurant which served good food. They are currently building a new shopping mall... More

The rooms are slightly smaller but very morden! The Inn is situated at the center of town where there's bus terminal and only 5 minutes walk away from Sandakan Central Market where... More

I picked this hotel because it was on the waterfront and additionally it was very inexpensive with breakfast included. What a little charmer! It is extremely well maintained, the desk staff is awesome, the restaurant staff is super friendly and the food just fab. The only criticism, is the rooms are a little tight, don't bring tons of luggage! Free... More
