    “Value for money stay with a perfect location”

    Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money. The best part is definitely the convenience—it's located very close to the nearest mall and surrounded by great places to eat. Breakfast was also a highlight, offering a good selection to start the day. The only minor issue we experienced was the soundproofing; we could hear some noise from next door, but otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay!

    “Awesome”

    The hotel just in front of the shopping mall. Below the hotel or just walk a lil bit you can find lots of restaurant. And it just walking distance to Pasar Sandakan.

    “Great spot if you need to stay for the night ”

    The staff were lovely. The room was bright and spacious. Central location. The bed was comfy. Ac worked well. There is a locked storage room downstairs if you need to leave your bags. It was a great spot to stay before heading to turtle island. The TV allows you to sign into netflix/you tube. Good WiFi. Like most bathrooms we've come across in S.E.A. the grouting in the bathroom could do with a refresh/demould.
