Pros:

Snídaně byla velmi rozmanitá, bohatá a chuťově dobrá. Samotný hotel je na nábřeží, některé pokoje s výhledem na moře.

Cons:

Čistota pokoje by mohla být lepší, zejména co se týká oken nebo skleněných dveří v koupelně.

Bien mais ...
Pros:

La position centrale de l'hôtel dans la ville,, le confort des chambres, le restaurant avec un petit déjeuner super. Attention juste de prendre des chambres qui ne donnent pas sur l'arrière des cuisines, car le bruit de la ventilation est infernal. Nous avons demandé à changer durant notre séjour.

Cons:

Le bruit de la ventilation de cuisine. Évitez les chambres de gauche en sortant de l'ascenseur.
Également la sortie proposée par le bureau dans l'hôtel à la rivière kinabatangan est très chère. Comparez ailleurs.

A great stay in the heart of Sandakan oldtown.
Pros:

Booked this hotel for my dad who wanted a place to stay in the center of the town. He was indeed very happy with Elopura Hotel as everything was within walking distance. Friendly staff and clean room. He had the room with the seaview on the first floor and the next time he is there he wishes to be on the third floor, i suppose to get a better wide view of the sea.
