My husband & I stayed here for part of our honeymoon , we loved the room and great views of the sea from rooftop restaurant! They provided opportunities to go on kinabatangan river cruises to see monkeys and pigmy elephants with mini night time trek to see amazing wildlife. Close to orangutang and proboscis monkey sanctuary! Only drawback is no... More

We stayed for one night at the Nak Hotel. For the price the rooms were a good size and reasonably furnished with air con. Although the room was clean we noticed the smell of cigarette smoke and being in the centre it was quite noisy which did keep us awake. The restaurant served a nice pizza in the evening. We... More

I love the roof top bistro with magnificent view of the Sandakan town regardless it is quiet during the night. Service wise, good with staffs that do smile and greet clients. They are very helpful too. It depends on which room you are in, some do come with nice view. Although they may need to consider about changing the tea... More

We stayed at NAK Hotel for one night as a stopover, and found it good value for what we wanted out of it, which was convenience and comfort for a good price, and it seemed to have some character. It had been recently renovated, and done pretty well, though you could still tell it was an old building. We had... More

We stayed here for a couple nights at the beginning and the end of a jungle tour. It was a centrally located hotel with nice staff and decent rooms. Pretty good value for your money and definitely somewhere I'd suggest after trekking around in the jungle. An interesting bar at the top (beware they forget to put alcohol in your... More

The best part of the hotel was the restaurant and bar at the roof as well as the very polite and friendly staff. The view from the roof restaurant was great as well. A great place to have a drink and/or dinner and watch the sun set. The restaurant is worth a visit for the view and cosy atmosphere even... More

We stayed there in January and took 2 rooms. The rooms and bathrooms were clean enough. However, the shower head in one bathroom didn’t work and the long bath in the other was a bit shaky. The sea view we got was not very pleasant. The structure of the windows broke up the view of the sea, construction site and... More

Based on good reviews and very affordable price range we decided to choose this hotel as our stop over trip to Sandakan on our way to KK. It is a sleepy town and not much happening here. It's pretty trendy and cozy for Sandakan standard I must say. Located at the main shopping street . The rooftop bar is somewhat... More

The service , price, rooftop garden and breakfast sums up to a very good place to stop over! Makes sandakan a better place! I felt comfortable even it was an overnight stay, and the reception is friendly. Unfortunately the room light that we stay can't be switch off. Overrall it was a very good experience.
