Hotels near Sandakan Airport, Sandakan

The hotel was incredible welcoming and the receptionist was lovely. The room was consistent with other hotels in this price range. It's a local area with many small restaurants located nearby. The room was clean and spacious and the water was hot. Shower was nice. They left us 2 bottles of water as well. Overall very nice.

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)

By far, dah banyak kali stay sini kalau datang Sandakan. Still the hotel that i would choose over and over again. The experience just get better everytime. What makes my stay become better this time is the receptionist named Darwin. He explained everything carefully and made sure i understand everything. SHOUT OUT TO DARWIN FOR THE GREATEST HOSPITALITY!! You made my vacation better, tq so much.

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.

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.

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!!!

The resort environment is very good. It is a ten-minute walk from the Orangutan Sanctuary. It is recommended to watch the feeding at 3 pm. You can go to the innermost nursery center at two o'clock to see the little orangutans playing. The service staff will not speak Chinese, but people. They are very good. In the morning, it is a simple buffet. There are many animals in the resort. The birds keep calling. The disadvantage is that the swimming pool is too small.

Beautiful stay with an atmosphere where the room is complete. Lovely comfortable bed, mosquito net, clean linen and air conditioning. The breakfast is very limited and not a must have to look forward to, which is a shame because it really completes your stay. Can they still improve? You pay more for each extra; yoga, water, etc. While if you order à la carte the food is delicious. The swimming pool is clean, the temperature of the surrounding area is not really cooling, but our kids had a great time in it. Enough beds around it. We were here because the rest around it was fully booked. In terms of price/quality ratio, I thought it was less and you don't have to be here in terms of extra luxury for what you pay. Too bad because with all the finishing touches, this would really be highly recommended! Perhaps too critical and by Malaysia standards this is a luxury :) The staff is super friendly, can sing well and is always willing to help you.

What I liked a lot: Well situated to visit main attractions in Sepilok: Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre/Sunbear centre/Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), free shuttle bus to the main attractions (09h-14h-16) which was really great. Also offer tours at reasonable prices e.g. Mangroves & Firefly Cruise (recommended). Free water dispenser. To note: rooms are very basic (there is airco), we had some ants in the room, bathroom is outside. Breakfast was limited and minimal. When we were there internet was not functional, luckily we had taken local simcard before with unlimited data so for us, this was not a big issue. Before coming to the hotel, I had sent a mail to have info about tours they offered, but never received a reply therefore I had booked tours with an agency which in the end was more expensive then when I would have it booked with Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat. Possible to book tours on the spot (no need to reserve before coming) but I did not know this in advance.
