Sandakan Hotels with Wifi

"Impressive facility in the middle of the jungle. The premises are huge with lakes, a restaurant, a large common area, a large pool, different kinds of rooms. They offer night tours of the property and even during the day it's possible to see wild animals and birds. Good breakfast, clean room and very close to the Orangutan and Sunbear centres."

"Hardware is fine, but not perfect. Bathroom in the room wasn't that clean but overall acceptable Nice view from the room over the seas. Loved the location because it's smack in centre of town. But this town is not pretty at all, and truly has a backwater feel."

"I stayed one night at Hotel Lutana. It was a little out of the town center, a 20 minute walk. I had my own room and my own bathroom with hot water and air conditioning. No breakfast, but they had coffee and biscuits. It was very clean and the woman at the front desk (Rita) was incredibly nice and helpful. It is small, but that adds to its charm."

"There were large gaps in the windows, making the room as noisy as being outside. I managed to improve the situation slightly by stuffing some paper in them. The bed was short; my feet hung off at 186cm tall. The overhead shower's control was broken, but I fixed it with a toothbrush from the amenity kit. You might also have trouble with the toilet flush. Just remove the tank lid and adjust the guiding rod under the flush button. Breakfast is only for those who aren't picky at all. I asked for an omelet, and they made it without a problem, but it might be undercooked. The location is convenient. If you're considering staying in Sandakan, keep in mind that the drive to the airport will take at least 30 minutes. It's fine for a couple of days."

"My stay at The Garden Boutique Hotel in Sandakan was surprisingly practical and delightful. Although the hotel isn't in the traditional city center and lacks a special view from the window, precisely because it avoids the hustle and bustle, the room rates are quite affordable, yet the room quality was unexpectedly high. Below are the key points of my stay, for travelers planning their Sandakan itinerary: 📍 Location and Transportation While the hotel isn't in a prime downtown location, transportation is actually very convenient. By car, it's within 20 minutes to Sandakan Airport, local famous temples, or other main tourist attractions. For travelers accustomed to ride-hailing apps or driving, this won't affect itinerary flexibility at all. 🛒 Excellent Surrounding Amenities The daily shopping and dining options in this area are surprisingly comprehensive! • There's a local market near the hotel with eateries open from early morning until late at night, making it easy to grab breakfast for an early start or a late-night snack upon return. • The vicinity also has supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, and bakeries, which is very convenient for long stays or for travelers needing temporary supplies. 🛏️ Well-Equipped Rooms, Perfect Details The rooms are the biggest highlight of this hotel! Despite the affordable price, it comes with high-standard hardware: • Ample power outlets, allowing multiple electronic devices to charge simultaneously without issues. • The room includes a wardrobe with hangers, a safe, a mini-fridge, and an iron, catering to both business and long-stay needs. • The TV offers Chinese channels, which is great for entertainment or catching up on shows during downtime. • The bathroom features a wet-dry separation design with a glass partition in the shower area, effectively keeping the space dry and clean, offering a very good user experience. 🧳 More Secure Luggage Storage Service The hotel's luggage storage method left a deep impression. Unlike many hotels that casually place luggage in a lobby corner, here, luggage is securely locked in a dedicated room, and guests are given a claim voucher to retrieve it. This significantly enhances the security of belongings, providing greater peace of mind when out exploring. 💡 Summary and Stay Recommendation ✅ Highly recommended for: travelers who prioritize room quality and complete facilities, are on a budget but seek high value for money, and whose itinerary mainly involves daytime outdoor exploration."

"The rooms are big enough and comfortable. They have their own parking space for those who rented car in Sandakan."

"Appreciate if an extra side table or chair can be provided on bed side to place bottle drink, hand phone & spectacle. Extra charge for additional pillow is not welcomed at all. No shampoo or washing liquid (only bath foam provided)! Overall, can not say stay experience is pleasant & enjoyable; only good point is availability of various eateries around."

"The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, and the breakfast is quite varied. The surroundings are beautiful. However, there were some unexplained noises at times. Also, the packed breakfast seemed insufficient; we only received three for three rooms, which wasn't enough for all the guests."

"The location was good as it is within IJM area, there's a nearby bataras, restaurants are also close by. But the room didn't have a cabinet or hanger, kinda inconvenient for business travel. Also would appreciate if they could prepare a common area microwave."

"This hotel is truly unique. The owner probably loves movies, as the lobby is decorated like a cinema, and movie posters adorn the rooms and hallways. The sea view room genuinely offers a sea view. There are various dining options nearby, including Chinese, Western, and Malay food, catering to different budgets. The staff are polite and always smiling. As for visiting Sepilok, it's about a 40-minute taxi ride, costing around 30-something Malaysian Ringgit, so there's no need to spend extra money staying there. Of course, there are downsides; while the rooms are clean, the facilities feel a bit old, especially the bathroom, which really needs a renovation."
