Wonderful stay. Entertaining wildlife

We had a wonderful 3 days at the Sabah hotel with the most beautiful pool (including 2 resident water monitor lizards) and the most comfortable beds.

Nice Hotel, Good Restaurant, Pool, and History.

Great little hotel with a pool just outside downtown Sandakan. The hotel restaurant was a pleasant surprise, as they had good Malay food and the staff were amazing! Unfortunately they do not open in a timely manner for breakfast. Otherwise a great stay. If you're into history there are some cool photos in the lobby worth checking out. Apparently the property was a former residence of the governor of North British Borneo, and it is nice to see what it and the town used to look like.

4/10 Fair

Not great service

The trip was booked for 2 adults and a child on a suite. When we arrived they applied extra charges for a rollaway bed eventhough it was booked as 3 people booking. We were left without toulet paper for a whole day as the housekeeping forgot to add when changing room and then again when we went to reception. Had to call 3 hours later from the room. It is expensive for what it provides and benefits from being the only larger hotel in the area.

Cameron, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

An aging property depending on local events and functions more than room revenues to survive. Room fixtures are dated and worn. Plumbing was sluggish to drain. Outdoor areas are also dated and could use a refresh. The live-in Monitor lizard was a surprise. Food & Beverage was a bright spot with good offerings at reasonable prices.

Comfortable and excellent ambience

Lovely hotel, colonial feel and steeped in history. Very comfortable and spacious room, lovely swimming pool and pool bar area. Good choice of food for breakfast. The hotel is surrounded by trees and plants giving a rural and quiet location dispite the main town being just 1km away.
