Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a good budget option with friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms. However, we faced some inconveniences with the absence of bellboy service during our stay. The location was convenient, but cleanliness around the entrance could be improved.
I had mixed feelings about my stay. The rooms were a bit dated, but they provided decent comfort for the price. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue, especially in the bathrooms, and I encountered a terrible smell when I first entered. The staff was friendly, but the lack of bell service and slow lifts were real inconveniences. Overall, it felt like a budget option, but some aspects could use improvement.
I had a decent stay overall at this hotel. The staff was eager to help, which I really appreciated. The room was spacious and clean, though the presence of rats outside was concerning. It’s a quiet place with a good budget price, making it reasonable for a short stay.
I stayed for one night in Sandakan and didn't expect luxury, but I found the experience a bit challenging due to noise levels and some cleanliness issues. The location is central, which is a plus, but if you're sensitive to noise, you might want to think twice. It could work for budget travelers, especially if you can sleep with earplugs. Overall, it’s a mixed bag.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with friendly staff who were eager to assist. The room was spacious and clean, providing good value for the price. However, I did notice a significant rat issue around the hotel and some cleanliness lapses in common areas. Overall, it's a decent budget option, but be prepared for some inconveniences.
I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. The rooms were plagued with strong cigarette smoke, even though we requested non-smoking options. The location was decent, but the loud noise from neighboring buildings and lack of Wi-Fi access in the rooms really hurt the stay. There were some positives, like the friendly customer service and reasonable prices, but overall, it fell short of my expectations.
I had a pleasant stay here with my family. We stayed for two nights in a room with two full beds, which was a nice treat compared to our usual dorm settings. The price was reasonable, and the area was quiet, making it more enjoyable overall. However, the hotel had some noise issues that made sleeping a bit difficult, especially at night due to thin walls and plumbing sounds.
