Stay at Sanbay hotel, Sandakan
No restaurant, furniture old and chipped, very few food options outside the hotel, no WiFi in the room at all . We had to stand in the middle of the corridor or go to the reception area to connect to the WiFi

Budget hotel - ok for a night
Clean rooms with huge bathrooms, very quiet — this is the plus Lingering smoking smell and no food is the minus. We got dinner in the local open air curry house a few minutes walk away. It is a local food place - really good but ‘very local’

All very nice, car parking very easy. Only disappointment for us was hotel evening meals (except Fri and Saturday) were very ordinary. But in saying that there is lots of food places around if you have the time. Breakfast was included in hotel price. It was basic with no fruit.

Location not so good.
Had to change rooms 3 times before got one where room safe worked. There were only 2 cafes nearby , one a malay curry house ,the 2nd we opted for a Chinese cafe in a Malay housing area which was a bit dodgy to get to at night (ghetto) On plus side the staff were wonderful and tried hard

Comfort executive like hotel
The room is nice with executive feeling-alike. Amenities is complete with fridge and basic amenities you can find in a hotel. With value prices, this a perfect place to stay in Sandakan. Since it is nearby the town, there are a lot of eateries to find. If you bring in car, the hotel will even give a free car wash. Recommended for all travellers

Good hotel for a short stay
Hotel is a little out of town, but an easy taxi or bus ride away. Not a high end hotel, but perfect for a few days and very good value for money.
