There are quite a few places to choose from but this is a great deal for a clean room and bathroom with cable tv and air conditioning. It is very close to some yummy curry houses, the market and the boat Jetty!

The hotel is in good condition. AC works well, curtains kept the light out in the morning, TV with english speaking channels. I got bed bugs the first night I was there. We told the receptionist and they came to inspect the sheets and indeed there were the bed bug droppings and they moved us to the room next door.... More

This is the older sister of Sipadan Inn 2 I guess, but nonetheless nicer because I prefer this one's bathroom better than the other one. Other things, room facilities, cleanliness, service, location are all very nice and satisfactory. However here there's no seaview room (perhaps that's why the price is cheaper than no.2). Worth the stay and money.

It is actually a hotel and not a guest-house or catering to budget travelers, so don't expect too much of an atmosphere, but it has everything you need for the one or two nights you have to stay in Semporna (nobody stays longer than necessary before going on a diving trip or island ;-)). Rooms were nice and spotless. The... More

I stayed at Sipadan Inn before moving to the diveshop place called Holiday Dive Inn. It's rather basic but ok. There's no elevator but the staff helps you to carry the luggage. They are very friendly and the wifi works perfecty. The rooms are small but clean and the bathroom is ok, although the taps are leaking. Good for a... More

What else could you expect for that price?! It's a nice, clean hotel. The W-Lan worked better than at many places before (sometimes it's nice to skype with the family). I missed the breakfast but you can get that from the market around the corner. If you miss Pizza (we did, after 5 weeks away from home ;)) go to... More

The hotel location is very good and staff was very friendly, however my room (ground floor) was very smelly and ,bathroom wasn't nice at all.i actually didn't even use it because of it.i heard from other people that rooms on the first floor were better,so if you go to this hotel,don't choose a ground floor

The Sipadan Inn is centrally located in the tourist end of Semporna; close to markets, restaurants, and dive shops. The staff are very nice and very helpful. It has three types of rooms. Ones with no windows, ones with windows on the front street, and delux ones with windows on the back alley. I opted for the back alley thinking... More

Our stay was not pleasant as all. We ended up paying more for a much nicer "hotel". The room was disappointed as the sheet was not replaced. We read the reviews here and was holding high expectation before we arrive. We were misled. It is a budget hotel and the location is ok. I was not expect to be that... More
