Only the 4 star Four Points beats this hotel and it's a lot cheaper. Rooms are a reasonable size, modern and clean. Beds are comfortable and nothing is falling apart, yet. Breakfast included and is the standard Asian breakfast. Staff are friendly, helpful and speak good English. Only draw backs are beyond control of Hotel and that is noise from... More

We needed a good quality and inexpensive hotel in Sandakan for 3 nights in between tours and flights. We had read several reviews on Trip Advisor with mixed views on cleanliness, service etc, but decided to rely on my partner's sister (ex-travel agent) and brother-in-law's own experience there. We booked 9 months in advance through an on-line provider. From the... More

Good service and location is indeed in the center of the city. Taxi is cheep, you can access good sea food within 15 min with taxi. Local food along the sidewalk - and from our experience nothing to particularly recommend. City is not exciting, our room was clean but small facing the city. Perhaps worth paying for a better room.... More

Stayed here with an Exodus group in Feb 2013. Very good central waterfront location, handy for cafes and restaurants. Accommodation very good, comfortable beds. Good selection for breakfast at outside buffet. Ate at Star Bistro a couple of hundred metres away on the sea front. Very good food and prices

This is a really lovely Hotel, if somewhat pricey compared to other places we have stayed on our travels, the rooms were clean, comfortable and the deluxe sea-view has huge bed, the bathroom is great with excellent shower. It can be difficult to book on line as it is called the Swiss-Inn Waterfront but the website is swissgarden.com, very central,... More

Always difficult to book over Internet even with trip advisor reviews BUT this was a very good place to book. Staff all very helpful and friendly (special thanks to Nur Aswar the receptionist for her local knowledge and tips). She recommended using local minibus (Batu 7) to get from town centre to Australian War Memorial and return via Agnes Keith... More

Mattress was very comfy and FIVE (5) pillows were given in each of our rooms. Shower was hot and nice. Broadband Internet service was... More

I think it has a nice views just in front of the sea, the city is very basic so i think this hotel is very good for the standard of Sandakan, i like it rooms where confortable, pleople nice, had a nice breakfast outdoor so for the night we spend was perfect.

We made a booking about a year ago and ask for a studio room. Price is abit cheaper then perhaps because of early bookings and because thru the net. Printed out the voucher and the type of room stated there was "studio suite". when the day came (Jan 4th - Jan 7th), we present the voucher to the reception counter... More
