    Loved my stay in Sandakan, my accommodation was ideal for me...

    Loved my stay in Sandakan, my accommodation was ideal for me and the location was perfect. There was so much more to explore but flight constraints limited my time there! Enjoyed some great seafood at the nearby restaurant on the water (Waterfront Seafood Restaurant), easy access to Sepilok for seeing orangutangs and sun bears. Pity my footwear was not suitable for visiting the RDC - note, to wear closed shoes and take mosquito repellant. And wish I could have done a trip to see the turtles. Use Grab taxis to get around. I would love to go back!!

    Sandakan has a fascinating history, particularly in regard to WW2 - check out the POW Death Marches from Sandakan to Ranau and the bravery of Agnes Keith and her husband. Local people of all ethnicities, took enormous risks to help escaped POW's and to support those opposed to the Japanese invasion. Sim Sim is a 15 minute Grab drive away and we ate at Sim Sim 90 twice - the food and service was excellent. Cold beer is sold and there's a cooling breeze in the evenings. Sandakan is not a beautiful city these days but we found it interesting and well worth a visit. It is an excellent gateway to tours up the Kingabatangan River. Sepilok is hotter, and without a market or supermarket, but leafier and more relaxing.

    The place is dirty, strong bad smell all over the area.

    The place is dirty, strong bad smell all over the area. The only think that made our stay up was the visit at Sandakan Rainforest Park, though we didn't see that much animals there. We saw loads of pitcher plants

    A very run down, untidy and litter strewn town.

    A very run down, untidy and litter strewn town. Residents do not take pride in their town and throw litter anywhere and everywhere, much of it in the harbour - absolutely disgusting, in such a beautiful country. Also lots of homelessness and too many beggars, including very young children, it’s almost constant. not a town to stay in for any longer than is necessary . Lots of good places to eat though.

    First of all, there is no shop to buy the SIM card in...

    First of all, there is no shop to buy the SIM card in Sandakan Airport, the nearest place is 7/11 which is in 5 min by taxi. Next stage of the quest is that you will need to ask someone to share the Wi-Fi with you since you must register your SIM card by yourself online. Perhaps, buying the SIM card in Kota Kinabalu will be the best option. If you are going to Sukau area, do not consider buying U Mobile SIM card - it will not work there completely. I would not recommend to have a food at any of restaurants at the seafront: meals will be overpriced and in most of the cases not even edible. Tours to Bornean bear and orangutan parks will be at least 3x cheaper for you than suggested by TripAdvisor if you will just use Grab taxi to reach it: both parks are located at the same place. Firefly tour is also costly and not really impressive: do not expect to see too much, if you cannot resist to go there. Pasir Putih Beach could be nice place if the beach was visible under the layers of garbage. Don't recommend to waste your time for it. There are a lot of beggar kids at the central area. I don't know if they can steal anything, but I guess it makes sense to be careful.

    Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm.

    Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade, which made my experience even more enjoyable. The room was spotless, and there was cold water provided, which was a thoughtful touch, especially after a long day. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay!

    Would definitely recommend staying here. Our room was a great size and very clean. We were also happy with how clean the shared bathrooms were. The owner was fantastic and helped us figure out how to take a mini-bus to the Orangutang sanctuary in Sepilok which saved us a lot of money. The hostel is also in a great area to explore Sandakan by foot.
