- Swiss Hotel Waterfront Sandakan

Usual average hotel, small clean rooms. Good location. Very helpful and friendly staff- the best thing in this hotel.
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

Swiss Inn promise a nice view looking at the waterfront and some mamaks but that depends which room you took some rooms are blocked by another tall building.

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...
