What guests think
Across recent reviews, Sabah Hotel is praised for friendly staff, a large tropical pool with slides and jacuzzi, and spacious rooms, while recurring drawbacks include dated interiors, some maintenance issues, and limited or inconsistent dining choices in the evenings.
Guests like the quiet, greenery-surrounded setting close to Sandakan, though many rely on short Grab rides rather than walking. Cleanliness is generally good, but a few note musty smells, bathroom pests, or sluggish plumbing. Overall, expect a comfortable, good-value base suited to families and short stopovers.
