Memory Boutique Hotel
8.0 (147 reviews)

Memory Boutique Hotel ★★

📍 SA51, Semporna

"Terrible. The room was tiny, stuffy, and had a strong mix of musty and sewage smells. The bed sheets were dirty. When I asked for them to be changed, I was told the cleaning staff had already left for the day, and changing rooms wasn't an option either. Eventually, they just gave me a new sheet to change myself. After diving, all our clothes were wet, and there was nowhere to hang them to dry. The room was so small we couldn't even open our luggage."

LANSE OCEAN SEAVIEW HOLIDAY HOTEL(Semporna store Chinese concierge) ★★★

📍 2, Jln Kastam, Pekan Semporna, Semporna

"The location is great for getting around, right by Haifeng Pier. Other than that, everything else is terrible. The hotel is dirty, messy, and old. The staff barely have any service awareness, and the room's facilities are simple and outdated. Overall, it felt like staying in a cheap motel. For around 1000, it's definitely not worth it. I don't recommend staying here. I stayed one night and then switched to a much better hotel next door for the same price point; they're not even in the same league."

Lato Lato Mun Resort Hotels in Semporna

Lato Lato Mun Resort

"This place offers incredible value for money. We booked two double rooms and one triple room; the triple room was noticeably much larger than the doubles, but that's not the main point. The best part is being able to walk directly into the sea from the room – it was so much fun! The water is crystal clear, with lots of starfish, sea urchins, and coral. We even saw many Nemos. At night, there were plenty of fish, and a large sea turtle even swam past the boardwalk."

SKY Water Villas Hotels in Semporna

"What an absolutely fantastic travel experience! This overwater bungalow exceeded my expectations in every way – the environment, location, and service were all excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Semporna!"

POM POM Island Resort Hotels in Semporna

POM POM Island Resort

"Bum Bum Island Resort is located in the outer waters of Semporna, a 45-minute speedboat ride away. The water quality is excellent, and the environment is absolutely beautiful. The wooden beach villas are spacious, each equipped with a king-size bed and a single bed, and fully furnished. The price of 1560 RMB per night includes breakfast and airport transfers from Tawau. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!"

Chan Living Hotels in Semporna

Chan Living

"The price was decent, and the environment was alright. It's about a twenty-minute drive from the pier. They offer one free shuttle service from the hotel to the pier, which is nice. However, the soundproofing isn't great; when someone walked outside, my bed actually shook. Also, if you go to breakfast a bit late, there's nothing left."

Seawind Cloudcrest Resort Hotels in Semporna

Seawind Cloudcrest Resort

"This hotel is located on a secluded hillside outside the city center, offering panoramic views of palm groves. It's a perfect retreat, ideal for unwinding at the end of a tiring journey. The pool is a bit small, but since it's rarely used, you can often have it all to yourself. The room boasts three sides of windows, making it very bright and airy, and the air conditioning is excellent. I had a wonderfully comfortable two-day stay. The staff provided standard service and could communicate in Chinese via WeChat. Transfers and pickups were always punctual."

Banyan Tree Villa Hotel Hotels in Semporna

Banyan Tree Villa Hotel

"The facilities are excellent, and the service attitude is top-notch. It's very clean, and we were able to store our luggage for free after checking out. What's more, after our island hopping tour, they even let us use their in-house shower facilities to freshen up, provided free towels, and even gave us complimentary bottled water. The service truly goes above and beyond! Plus, it's super convenient, only a 5-minute walk away, making it a perfect place to stay the night before an island hopping tour."

Amber House Hotels in Semporna

Amber House

"1️⃣ The location is about 1.2km from the pier, a 20-minute walk or a hotel shuttle bus. However, the road there is very bad, with no sidewalks, making it somewhat dangerous at night. 2️⃣ The hotel is located in a courtyard. Check-in and hotel staff all work in the courtyard. If someone is talking outside, you can hear them inside, as there is virtually no soundproofing. Similarly, conversations inside can be heard by passersby outside. Those seeking privacy and quiet should think twice. 3️⃣ The rooms are very basic. There are no curtains, only Roman blinds. The bathroom doesn't even have curtains. 😰 If you stay on the first floor, there's practically no privacy at night. Why didn't they even bother with curtains? It's really unpleasant. 4️⃣ It's very noisy at night. There are all sorts of insect and bird chirps, motorcycles passing by, and a constant, inexplicable mechanical humming outside my room. It was incredibly noisy. Then, at 4 AM, they started chanting prayers through a loudspeaker next door. I basically spent the whole night surrounded by noise; it was torture! 😩 5️⃣ Breakfast was just an egg and a bowl of noodles. After that, you could go island hopping. In short, I wouldn't recommend staying here at this price. It's just too noisy. The most important thing about staying in a hotel is rest, and the room lacks privacy without curtains. It rains frequently here, and there's a musty, watery smell on the first floor. It's a very average hotel, not worth the price. Personally, I think if you're going to be noisy anyway, you might as well stay near the pier."

Sagittarius Resort Hotels in Semporna

Sagittarius Resort

"Old Chen and General Chen were both very dedicated. The scenery was stunning, and the overwater bungalow's location was fantastic, offering expansive views. We enjoyed plenty of seafood, but you need to keep an eye on the local fishermen selling their catch. Remember to bargain when buying seafood!"

Memory Boutique Hotel ★★
"To my fellow Chinese travelers, absolutely do NOT stay at this place! When we checked in, we paid a 100 deposit and received a receipt. The Indian staff at the front desk did not tell us that we needed this receipt to get our 100 MYR back upon check-out the next day. My partner and I are both international students, so if they had mentioned it, we would have definitely understood in English. The next day, after we checked out, their staff quickly went up to clean the room. When we came down to check out, we were told we couldn't get our deposit back without the receipt. I said to wait a moment, that it was on the table, but by the time I went back up, a cleaner was already in the room, and the receipt was gone from the table. In the end, they refused to refund my 100 MYR."

LANSE OCEAN SEAVIEW HOLIDAY HOTEL(Semporna store Chinese concierge) ★★★
"AU YU Room is beautiful and offers a lovely sea view. The room was clean and well-maintained overall. One tip for future guests: wear the in-house slippers, as there was quite a bit of sand on the floor. The location is convenient, with many restaurants within walking distance. However, the nearest laundry service is on the other side of the city, so you'll need to take a Grab if you require laundry facilities. The only downside was the security deposit of RM200, which felt rather high. The deposit is only refunded after the staff completes a room inspection during check-out. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a great view and good dining options nearby."

Wing Tat Grand Hotel ★★★
"This is a really good hotel for the town, especially regarding its overall environment. There's a popular shop conveniently located right downstairs, which is a nice bonus. Plus, the pier's meeting point is just about a 10-minute walk away. It definitely surpassed my expectations for its setting!"

Seafest REGENCY ★★★★★
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't stay here again. This is the first time I've encountered such a long wait for check-out, even with a deposit. Those who paid with credit cards also had to wait. Check-in and check-out were all mixed together... the management is just too chaotic. Plus, the gym had an extremely strong, pungent plastic smell, making it impossible to use. The downstairs restaurant was absolutely terrible. The only good thing was that the room's cleanliness wasn't bad, after all, it's a 5-star hotel, and its location is superb."

Amber Villa ★★★
"I was really disappointed with this hotel experience. (The staff were very friendly, but the hotel facilities and soundproofing were poor.) The bathroom facilities were extremely basic, and the overall room amenities felt cheap and ordinary. Perhaps due to the materials used in the renovations, you could hear everything going on upstairs. This definitely needs improvement, especially considering it costs 700 RMB per night. 🫪"
