We loved our stay at Sabah hotel as a family of two adults and one child (9yrs old). We booked it for the pool mainly as we knew Sandakan town didn't have much to offer compared to other places on our trip. My daughter loved the pool especially the slides and they provide free pool towels which was great too. The rooms were cleaned daily and were very spacious and we had a pool view. The decor is a little dated and rooms a bit musty but the rooms had air con which was such a relief to get back to after a day in the heat. We used Sandakan as a base for our trips to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation centre and for an overnight trip to Turtle Island to see the baby turtles being released into the sea. Both were fantastic and I'd highly recommend! Sabah hotel is about 5 mins drive to the main town and as it's situated on a hill we used Grab taxis to get to and from the town as it was too hot to walk it with our daughter. Breakfast was included which was another big plus for us and it was buffet style and had lots of options. We ate a few times in the Plantation cafe during lunch or dinner and were impressed with the quality of food. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend to anyone.

As a family of two adults and one child (9yrs) we had a great time at Sabah Hotel. Although the hotel and rooms are starting to look a little tired and smell a bit musty they were a really goodsl size and we had our rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels etc. My daughter absolutely loved the pool and slide and it was a great place for us to relax in between our travels around Malaysia, Borneo and Singapore. We used this hotel as a base for seeing the orangutans at Sepilok and also a night on Selingan island to see the turtles lay eggs and to release babies back into the sea- both of which were incredible experiences and I highly recommend!! We used Grab taxis to get around the town. Not an awful lot to do in the town itself. The hotel is on a hill from the main town and as the temps were 30/32 degrees most days it would have been too hot to walk it. Grabs are convenient and cheap and we also did a load of washing at the laundromat in the town. The staff were all so friendly, smiley, welcoming and attentive. They all seem to really care about the hotel and making sure your experience is great. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
