Sandakan Hotels with Wifi

"stayed here for two nights. get seperate bookings. cleanliness is on top. location, i would say easy access to highway. that means its easier to get to newrby attractions like crocodile farm and whatnots. got restaurant just in front of the hotel. 99 mart nearby and so many other shops. the first room doesn’t include hairdryer so its a bit of a hassle. other than that, everything js on top. philips iron steam that works really well, well-stocked stash. my booking came with breakfast. each day, different menu. for me, it is an all-rounder as they serve well-accepted dish. as the space to eat is limited (ground floor space & extended to the first floor but need to climb up stairs), i just found out on my last day that we can actually bring up the food to our room. all in all, mantul 🥰"

"The moment you step into the hotel, the subtle fragrance truly immerses you in a high-end atmosphere! 😆 The only slight inconvenience is that guests arriving by car need to park in the adjacent mall's parking lot. 😂 You have to drive in circles all the way up to about the 5th floor to find a parking spot, which can be a bit of a challenge! 🚗😆"

"Easy access to restaurants, bars, and dessert spots, making it convenient for both dining and leisure. The accommodation is comfortable and located in a relatively quiet area, ensuring a good night’s rest without excessive crowd noise. As a business traveler, I also find its proximity to Sandakan Airport extremely convenient, especially for catching early morning flights."

"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."

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Livinston Hotel. Pros: The shower water temperature was very stable, which was a big plus. Unlike some hotels where the water suddenly becomes too hot or too cold, the temperature here remained consistent throughout the shower. The room air-conditioning worked very well and was cold enough to keep the room comfortable, even during warmer periods. Cons: The sink tap showed some signs of rust and could use better maintenance. The sink drainage was quite slow, causing water to take longer to drain away. The room lighting was rather dim, making the room feel a bit dark, especially at night."

"Very clean they even have air purifiers by the corridor. Cheaper rooms don't have an attached bathroom and have to share common bathrooms. Would be nice if there was a hairdryer and mirror in the room. Plenty of free parking spaces, surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, 24hr laundry..etc."

"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."

"We booked a dorm room with 2 beds and they said that I only booked 1 room, when the booking said 2 adults and I had paid for 2 people so that didn’t get off to the best start. Laundry is absolutely extortionate, charging per item , one of the local home stays did our washing for 5th of the price. Staff said they would have to charge he to use the Phin to call a hospital. Food portions are small and dorms aren’t the cleanest, didn’t have our dorm cleaned or bin emptied once throughout our 3 night stay. Only 1 fan for a room for 6 people so it’s absolutely boiling at night. Pool could do with being cleaned a bit with loads of floating bugs. Setting is nice to be in the jungle but could do with some improvements, maybe starting off with welcoming customer service."

"Great location. Breakfast was sparse, no vegetables, and only watermelon for fruit. The rooms are large and comfortable, but a bit dated. All the furniture and decor are old. The bedding, however, was clean and fresh. There's no fridge. The windows don't open, and there's no sea view from them. There's no safe in the room, but they brought one upon request. Wi-Fi is advertised and available, but it constantly disconnects, the password drops, making it impossible to work."

"Surrounded by Greenery, large pool, I m quite a frequent hotel guest and was upgraded to deluxe room when the rooms facing swimming pool for superior no longer available, nice long bath in each room, spacious.. A relaxing vibe, sported a monitor lizard I'm hotel compound, non aggressive type..."
