Reading some of the other reviews, I'm thinking its very much a matter of time and place at this hotel. For the price of the room (i payed 50RM for a spacious, air conditioned, double room, with television, large bathroom with lovely hot shower.) it was very, very good value. Ive stayed at a couple of other establishments in Sandakan... More

Really nothing special. Actually I think we overpaid it for the service received but it was the cheapest one in town with bathroom inside. rooms are quite OK, rather large and clean, the shower is good, the location is pretty good and the breakfast is quite lousy. i would say that this hotel is quite good but too expensive for...

Seriously there must be 2 Hotels London in Sandakan because the one we stayed in had nothing to do with those positive discriptions we read on Tripadvisor. This place was appalling in every way. We don`t expect too much at all. Only clean bathroom, no insects in bed and some edible breakfast. They did not meet these criterions. We stayed... More

We stayed 4 nights . Rooms were huge with tv, ac ensuite. Large bathroom. Towels provided and soap. Great free breakfast on the roof. Good location just 2 mins to town. Great food on the water front and for a great sunset view get to the nac hotel rooftop bar. Sandakan good for turtle island visits. Highly recommended!

We stayed for 3 nights and we where surprised the size of the rooms and the cleanliness - both exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed breakfast on the roof terrace each morning with the pool of terrapins. On a personal note Sandakan is not one of the most appealling cities to stay in but it is home to some of... More

Hotel London was surprisingly good value for the 65 RM we paid for a twin room. It's in walking distance of everything in Sandakan, even the Agnes Keith house, if you're good at hill walking. Breakfast is included on the roof garden, but it's nothing special, hardly worth the trek up the stairs (no elevator)
