8/10 Very good

The hotel is very dated and could do with a spruce up. However, the room was a good space, with a comfortable bed, kettle and fridge. There was a large supermarket behind and it was 20 minutes walk into Sandakan shops.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel and the room was very old and should be renovated urgently. The fridge was not clean and there was no shampoo in the shower. Staff is very kind and helpful. The location was not that good, because there were only local restaurants nearby. The price was ok for all that.

6/10 Good

This is an old hotel, it used to be one of the best hotels in Sandakan before. Now I saw the building itself is outstanding there but I also realized that the quality of their service and maintenance are not perfect anymore because of recession by the pandemic. One of the reasons why I decided this hotel for staying, the review mentions a " nice breakfast". But they don't have it now. Regarding amenities like a shampoo and toilet rolls, it requires payment if you get extra. I stayed 2nights 3days, so I was wondering If I should buy some. These are the things uncomfortable part staying this hote. However, this hotel fee is cheap and stuffs are friendly. I have no complaints.

Nei servizi proposti dall’Albergo era presente la lavanderia e giardino esterno. Invece tutte e due non erano presenti. Staff per niente accogliente e poco disponibile.

Sampai hotel security suruh tunggu next shift staff untuk sampai kerja. Pekerja shift sebelum sudah balik atas sebab transport balik waktu malam tidak ada. Terpaksa tggu hampir 3 jam lobby untuk staff kasih check-in ke bilik yang sudah dibayar.

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
