Just outside the city in a parklike lication. Spotless clean and free from bad odors. The staff is markedly attentive and friendly. Helped me to set up and use a Grab ap to get resonable rates to visit town and other locations. The food is well prepared. Semi pet water monitors vist the pool area. Waterslides, jacuzzi, on premises. Refrigerator and coffee in room. Massage available.

Nice Hotel, Good Restaurant, Pool, and History.

Great little hotel with a pool just outside downtown Sandakan. The hotel restaurant was a pleasant surprise, as they had good Malay food and the staff were amazing! Unfortunately they do not open in a timely manner for breakfast. Otherwise a great stay. If you're into history there are some cool photos in the lobby worth checking out. Apparently the property was a former residence of the governor of North British Borneo, and it is nice to see what it and the town used to look like.
