Hotels near Impyana Palace, Semporna

The detached wooden house we booked was actually very small. It was difficult to put luggage in the room. There was almost no room for toiletries in the bathroom. If you put toothpaste in it, you would worry that it would slide off the narrow shelf. There was only one room card. After I left, it ran out of power. When I came back, the room was so hot. It was also very humid. The breakfast was hard to describe. I had never had such a simple breakfast in a room that cost more than 800 yuan a night. The key point was that the local chargers in Malaysia could not be used. We could only use the Chinese ones. The boss said that the hotel only received Chinese people. If you need service, you must go to the restaurant to call for help. If there is no one, you have to wait. I asked the hotel to help book a two-day island hopping tour. On the first day, I stood at the gate (outdoors) and waited for 40-50 minutes. The pick-up car did not come. The boss drove us to the pier himself. When we came back in the evening, we had to communicate by phone to pick him up (the pick-up and drop-off were included in the itinerary of the one-day tour). The second day was much better. The waiting time was shorter and he came to pick me up when I came back. The appearance of the wooden house looked good, and the green environment was okay.

really love the affordable rates of each rooms. every room was clean and there were free flow coffe, tea and biscuits at the main hall for guests to enjoy! alllowed me to check in early at 1pm instead. very kind of them Check in was swift and smooth. friendly receptionists and staff

Booked this Inn2 because I couldn’t see any commitments on Sipadan Inn 3 or 1. It was okay for overnight. The first time I stayed there, it was a normal small room with window facing the street. However, when I checked in again a week later I got a room in the middle without window, even though I booked the same queen room. The location is not great, Inn 3 and 1 are at better spots in the small seafront town, easier to reach than Inn 2. Among the three, Inn 3 is the newest and, after a visit, I noticed it has better rooms with better facilities. Had WiFi in room at Inn 2, the bed was very basic and sheets not crispy clean, the shower was okay as well as the air conditioning. Semporna is a tiny town with most places within walking distance, though the narrow, car-lined streets are not that clean or tidy to walk through, especially if you carry luggage. From what I heard from other travelers, very basic facilities wherever you stay, so lower your expectations then probably all good.

Staying in Sempoorna town was a delightful experience, and this resort made our visit truly special. Sempoorna town is relatively small and apart from diving, hiking, island hopping there is not much things to do. If you're planning to spend more than 2-3 days in the area, I highly recommend considering this resort. Conveniently located just 10 minutes away from Sempoorna town by boat, the resort offers a tranquil escape. The staff and owner here are not only friendly but also incredibly cooperative, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable stay throughout. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully equipped, providing a luxurious experience. The surrounding beautiful sea is a highlight, adorned by starfish and other fishes. While the included food may not be the centerpiece of the experience, it is satisfactory, mainly featuring delicious Chinese cuisine. The staff and owner go the extra mile to share details about the resort, snorkeling gear, and any assistance you may need. During our stay, they arranged an unforgettable island-hopping tour, adding an extra layer of excitement to our visit.

enjoy staying here even though short trip . easy to access, newr to shop easy to get food. the room is clean n nice sticker on the wall. my kids love it.

suitable for couple, don't expect the room is spacious but just fine. love the hotel will come back again, inshaaAllah thanks.

Providing an ideal mix of value, comfort and convenience, it offers an array of amenities designed for travellers… Internet access is offered to guests, and rooms at Dragon Hotel offer air conditioning. Guests of Dragon Inn Resort are also welcome to enjoy an on-site restaurant. Semporna has plenty of Asian restaurants. So when you’re here, be sure to check out popular spots like Fat Mother Semporna, Ocean Treasure Live Seafood Restaurant, and Fish Village Seafood Restaurant, which are serving up some great dishes. Best of all, Dragon Hotel makes it easy to experience some great Semporna attractions like Sabah (0.2 mi), which is a short distance away.

Upon arrival at the airport, things just went downhill. My wife had booked a ride from Ocean Inn from the airport to their hotel prior to our arrival. Our ride never showed up even after my wife confirmed with the hotel staff. Called them and not one response after several calls. Great way to confirm everything and then leave your customers high and dry. We ended getting our own ride. Ocean Inn hotel is situated in a what I would consider a more or less slum area. I saw multiple locals finish their drinks and then tossed their trash over into the sea when there’s garbage cans just a few feet from them. There’s a lot of garbage sunken and floating in the water everywhere. Countless rats scurrying on the ground and roofs in broad daylight. The area reeks of sewage. When we checked in, the gal in the front didn’t like her job. No greetings. No smiles. No friendly service. Not sure if it’s a cultural thing that I’m misunderstanding. I felt like she didn’t want to help us. Never did. The entrance of the front desk had an overwhelming smell of mothball. In our room, my wife found strands of hair between the sheets and blanket. The room smelled mildewy. The restroom smelled like a heavily used public restroom. The shower pressure trickled. I just don’t know how some of these reviewers gave this place a 3-5 stars. Absolutely baffled!!! Overall, there’s little nice things to say about Ocean Inn except that the AC works well. I’ll let you readers run wild with your own imagination that I’m painting. I would never come back here again. Thank goodness it was just for one night stay.

I have stayed in several hotels in Semporna before. The Lighthouse is considered the best hotel in town. The rooms are clean and new. The air conditioning is cold enough, the hot water is hot enough, there is a refrigerator, and the breakfast buffet upstairs is not bad. It is also very close to various sea piers, only a 5-10 minute walk away.

I really like this garden B&B. There are only 7 rooms in total. The boss and service staff are very enthusiastic. It feels like we are friends. The breakfast is different every day. It is cooked as you go. It is delicious. Dinner can also be booked in advance. We Stayed and ate for 3 nights. The boss's craftsmanship was excellent and the dining environment was very comfortable. But remember to bring mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes. There will be a car to pick up and drop off the town for free. In the last half day, the boss took us to a local supermarket for shopping and bought a lot of coffee to give to friends. Semporna Airport is very small and the queues are long. You can’t go wrong by arriving at the airport 2 hours in advance. Our plane took off 15 minutes early.
