Pros:

Good location. Decent roof top, gym, restaurant and breakfast. Nice staff. Quirky theme.

Cons:

Could be a really great hotel. Rooms just need to be maintained. A bit rough around the edges. Though probably not uncommon of many of the hotels in the region.

Good for a two night stay.
Pros:

The location was perfect. Right on the front and easy to start the heritage trial.

Cons:

Breakfast wasn’t great. A fair amount of choice but very lacking in vegetables or fruit and most things are cold including the coffee.

Pros:

Good central location, right by the waters. Large comfortable bed (on the hard side). Coway water filter machine at the lobby.

Cons:

Noise from the streets could be clearly heard which was distracting especially if we wanted to sleep early. The toilet drain gave off a funky smell at certain times of the day.

Buena experiencia en Sandakan.
Pros:

El personal era muy amable. Uno de los recepcionistas nos ofreció el servicio de transfer para ir al RDC de Sepilok para la caminata nocturna y nos vino a buscar. Después nos llevó a un mercadillo y nos recomendó comida local (cosa que agradecimos mucho). El desayuno no estaba mal para ser Asia.

Cons:

La zona por la noche, estaba llena de ratas. El pueblo no es nada visitable, pero es buen sitio para dormir si no quieres pagar el resort.
