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.

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.

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
