Pros:

Зручне розташування, привітливий персонал.
Досить непогані сніданки. Ліжко було зручне, кондиціонер працював нормально хоча й шумно, телевізор - смарт.

Cons:

Постільна білизна була брудна, наче її не змінили після попередніх гостей, але на моє прохання її одразу змінили на іншу (не білосніжну, але здається чисту).


В номері відсутній сейф та холодильник

Budget hotel
Pros:

Staff friendly and maintenence were prompt in fixing the window and the toilet. Location was good for the sea front of Sandakan.

Cons:

Expensive for a budget hotel and breakfast was limited. We had to ask for a second pillow. Air conditioning unit leaked water.

I'd stay here again
Pros:

Great and also bad location. You are at the city center which is awesome but it's also pretty loud at night and windows aren't completely noise canceling.

Cons:

The glass bathroom. It doesn't make sense. It's very uncomfortable.
Breakfast wasn't the best.

A welcoming second time stay
Pros:

Again I booked Elupora Hotel in Sandakan for my dad as he loved his previous stay here. This time the hotel team allocated him to stay on a higher level and managed to get better and lovely seaview. He mentioned the team was very friendly and the room he stayed in was clean and comfortable. He will definitely get me to book this hotel again if he comes and visit Sandakan :)

Pros:

Fin beliggenhed og dejligt hotel. Rent og hyggeligt.

Cons:

Morgenmads buffet var ikke god. Kold kaffe og the. Meget lidt og lunken mad. Kedeligt. Vi var ikke sent nede til morgenmad.
Der var meget lidt på hotellet. Både fra de andre værelser, gangen og gaden.
