Really enjoyed our stay at the Sabah hotel. The hotel staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The hotel facilities, such as the large pool and gym, were clean and well maintained. Will definitely stay again the next time we visit Sandakan.

The decor is a bit dated, but it's very quiet with a nice environment. There's a huge pool with a big slide that both adults and kids will love. It's perfect for a family or couples' getaway.

The rooms are a bit old, but they've been renovated. The service is decent, and the hotel feels like a small tropical garden. The Chinese food is excellent, with generous portions and affordable prices, and they even have Cantonese dim sum. Most of the guests are Westerners. The location is also pretty good; it's a 5-6 RM taxi ride to the beach. A common thing with hotels in Malaysia is the tourism tax. However, if you've booked through a platform, it's usually pre-paid. So, when we're asked to pay cash on the spot, we always show a copy or digital version of our booking confirmation. It helps if your English is good, otherwise you might end up paying twice. The platform has a responsibility to inform hotels if payment has already been made online.

A superb historic hotel, the room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was buffet style and had different choices each day we were there. The afternoon cake and drinks were both great value and excellent quality. This was the best hotel we stayed at during our driving tour of Sabah. Highly recommend the Sabah Hotel if you are going to Sandankan.

Old hotel. Partly renovated rooms. Noisy AC and elevator. Only 500ml drinking water per person per day. Pool very old and in bad condition. Breakfast very limited if you are late.

I gave it five stars considering the overall situation in Sandakan. The hotel rooms are clean, and there's a huge swimming pool, which is quite luxurious for the area, haha. The breakfast was terrible; definitely skip it. The service was excellent, everyone was incredibly friendly.
