Sanbay Hotel

No shops

The hotel is very dated and could do with a spruce up. However, the room was a good space, with a comfortable bed, kettle and fridge. There was a large supermarket behind and it was 20 minutes walk into Sandakan shops.

This is an old hotel, it used to be one of the best hotels in Sandakan before. Now I saw the building itself is outstanding there but I also realized that the quality of their service and maintenance are not perfect anymore because of recession by the pandemic. One of the reasons why I decided this hotel for staying, the review mentions a " nice breakfast". But they don't have it now. Regarding amenities like a shampoo and toilet rolls, it requires payment if you get extra. I stayed 2nights 3days, so I was wondering If I should buy some. These are the things uncomfortable part staying this hote. However, this hotel fee is cheap and stuffs are friendly. I have no complaints.

Nei servizi proposti dall’Albergo era presente la lavanderia e giardino esterno. Invece tutte e due non erano presenti. Staff per niente accogliente e poco disponibile.

Good bang for your buck if you just need a quick night stay! Clean and easy check in process with nice helpful staff.
