      Friendly staff, cheap and fine for couple nights”

      Very cheap, very basic, we literally had a sleep there with our friends but nothing extra. For that it was just fine. The staff were very grateful and nice though. :)

      Acceptable in Sandakan ”

      I stayed in Sandakan only for 1 night and half day. Sea View Sandakan BB Hotel is close to the beach, weekend market and shopping mall area. They have tour to Kinabatangan river pick up from this hotel. The manager is really friendly and funny. She herself made banana pancake for breakfast for guests. The hotel looks not so morden but quite clean.

      Not so good”

      Location is very good, but the rest is not. The facilites are old and not very well maintaned, the room was not so clean. But the worst part is the kitchen. Very dirty, we had breakfast included in the room rate, but have not been so brave to try it. We wanted to stay here for two nights, but changed our mind and spent only one and moved to another hotel.
