Only, Italy

The room was very large and had some problems that were sorted out very quickly. Staff were very nice.

Caroline, Australia

Roof top bar and restaurant with it's extensive menu is a great place to wind down, enjoy the sunset and the warm evening breeze. A hidden gem!

Elizabeth, Australia

Staff very helpful when needed! Very close to bus station Breakfast really sweet! The restaurant on the rooftop was really good value and meals were great!

Grace, United Kingdom

This is a good enough hotel for one or two nights if you are in transit thru Sandakan. And you should try the rooftop restaurant for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just coffee or drinks. A nice break from traditional asian food.

Alexander, Sweden

Great breakfast, comfortable bed, beautiful sea view and peaceful

Ngoc, Vietnam

Room was pretty basic as expected, bed was nice and comfortable, roof terrace bar/cafe was really cool with a good menu. Liked the quirky decorations around the hotel.

Abi, United Kingdom

Room was huge and probably in its time very nice. Hotel have tried to give rooms an old world style, but they are looking tired. Huge bed and plenty of space within. Fabulous rooftop restaurant and bar, although this could also do with so TLC. Wonderful cafe next door.

Grant, United Kingdom

눉The car park was used by staff so at times it was full and staff had to shift their car to make space, this was inconvenient. Also doing building works and potential for car damage. i would eat else where. Had one meal- had to wait a while and was not that satisfying given that i was very hungry. The entree was better than the main. Tv had poor reception.
눇The room was very large and had some problems that were sorted out very quickly. Staff were very nice.

눉The general cleanliness of our room was very poor! Floors were dirty, sink had hardly any water flow, toilet was heavily stained! Shower leaked everywhere on the floor! The lighting was also very dim-we had to get someone to change the lightbulb in our bathroom due to it being broken on arrival! Other lights didn't work around the room. Our aircon decided to break halfway through our stay-we had to be transferred to a different room-in the hotels favour they did act upon the matter very quickly. I think the hotel needs a little revamp inside and a better cleaning team to communicate when things aren't working to management..
눇Staff very helpful when needed! Very close to bus station Breakfast really sweet! The restaurant on the rooftop was really good value and meals were great!

눉This hotel is just about ok and could do with a complete renovation (looks like they started one some time ago, but did not have the meens to finish it). The breakfast is now served in a coffee place next to the hotel (from 8am) but you only get like a toast and nothing more, so you might just skip that and pay for a breakfast on the roof instead.
눇This is a good enough hotel for one or two nights if you are in transit thru Sandakan. And you should try the rooftop restaurant for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just coffee or drinks. A nice break from traditional asian food.
