Sandakan Hotels with Free Breakfast

First time to Sandakan, arrived late at night so chose a hotel which should be easy ti find and bigger scale at avoid any surprise of late check-in. Location is 20 mins Grab from airport. Nice entrance and staff is friendly. It is quite an old old but I think they refurbished. Look good but the facilities kind of dated. First night hoping for a nice hot shower but the shower head fell down. Luckily could put it back as dont want to change room late at night. My bath tub stopper chain broken so after a bath the water stayed. We booked junior suite as I didn’t want carpet room. Smaller than on the photo but overall clean. Balcony is not really for sitting out though. However the hotel carpet outside the room smells a bit I guessed ventilation was the issue. Breakfast was good. I booked via trip.com to include a child but somehow that we not counted and they supposed to charge me a fee. Finally they offered for courtesy. Best part was the swimming pool with slide, fun for kids. If to explore the Samdakan, this could be a good location as walking distance to Agnes Keith House, then taking the 100 steps to go to the town.

Worth the price. The room was really comfy. Didn't had a chance to get the breakfast provided because I was too busy with my interview. Definitely will stay there when I go to Sandakan again.

Glad that I stayed just for 1 night, but that 1 night cause me to have a bar flu, as I am allergic to dusty. The place itself is okay, and quite convenient for those who just want to stay for a day transit, as it is near to the airport, and only 20mins to Sepilok Orang Utan. The place is rundown, as u can see in the pictures, they seem not to have effort to change the bad wall paper, clean the dusty etc. Really need to refurbish again. Stay away if u have an allergic to dusty, u will regret like me. But a good area for transit in terms of location. Breakfast food was just okay.

Central in the main town, great base for day tours to the parks/sanctuary/River. Few options for food along the waterfront. Sandakan seems a quiet town with a few tourists but mainly local (v friendly) population, clearly a short stop/jump off spot. Options for 'drinks' are few - this is a no alcohol establishment, but there is a roof bar 3 mins walk for an evening beverage (the baling Hotel roof). Very clean..comfy bed, great aircon and hot shower. For the price the included breakfast had fresh fruits, to order omelets /eggs/ rice/ noodles and toast. No complaints!!!

We got this location on a cancellation by another hotel and couldn't have been more pleased. Our Junior Suite was spacious and comfortable. The buffet was excellent and dinner at the Chinese restaurant on 1st floor terrific. Not Halal certified (i.e.: Pork and liquor served here) we enjoyed the dim-sum brunch on Saturday. The evening entertainment left everyone happy with pictures to remember the performance. The owner is a fantastic host. Limited English programming on TV. A destination in itself.

Hotel Labuk in Sandakan offers a comfortable and pleasant stay with its modern amenities and friendly staff. The rooms are well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. The hotel's location is convenient, close to local attractions and dining options. While the facilities are generally good, the decor a bit dated. Overall, Hotel Labuk provides good value for money.

The hostel is basic and there's no two ways about it. Yes it's cheap, so cheap that my friends and I got a private room each. But I feel that the hostel could charge more and then update the decor and facilities and also offer more of a substantial and welcoming breakfast than just a pot of jam and a loaf of bread. However, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The location is also great. In central Sandakan and it felt very secure. The hostel does what it needs to do if you need a cheap place to stay.

I give 5 stars not because of it is 5star hotel but it is worth it with the price that you pay(walk in price is better). It is clean,have water heater,toiletaries(toothbrush is not provided, bring it on your own). The room is not that spacious but it is acceptable. Both of receptionist are good and polite. I want to have activities in the city center, so i tried one day in this hotel then i tried the other hotel in the city center. I found out that this hotel is more worth it. The third day i came back to stay at this hotel. I wonder if Covid19 really took a toll to the hotels in the city center...Many hotels are old and some are already closed. If you are searching for good hotel with good price in city center to me this one is a good bargain and have many parking lots. Im not sure the rooms have how many colours?🙂 My first stay is in orange.(I didnt like orange much and the room looks dim and romantic.i prefer blue colour😅) Some minor defects in this room that i found like the window cannot open and the curtain is stained). My second stay is blue. (I love blue). This room is ok for me. No defect only the water heater i need to let it for a while to become hot water. Overall, im satisfied my stay with the paid price. Thank you. (*** My review is for city center hotels only which is not comparable with other hotels in bandar indah for example or other sides of area in sandakan)

Highly recommend staying here! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have free transportation to the RDC, Sepilok Orangutan Centre, and the Sun Bear Centre. The staff was also able to help me get signed up to do two night tours at the RDC and provided transportation to and from. They can help with other tour reservations as well though I did not have time to take advantage of them. The retreat itself is beautiful with amazing views! You really get the experience of being immersed in nature while you are here. They provided breakfast for free and then have a simple menu that you can purchase from for lunch and dinner. The vegetarian curry and vegetarian fried noodles were delicious and the rest of the food looked good as well. The prices for everything were also reasonable and was well worth it!

Very characteristic, the wooden house in the forest has a lot of insects, and the fruit must not be placed in the room.
