Lovely hotel, colonial feel and steeped in history. Very comfortable and spacious room, lovely swimming pool and pool bar area. Good choice of food for breakfast. The hotel is surrounded by trees and plants giving a rural and quiet location dispite the main town being just 1km away.

Excellent hotel in Sandakan
The Sabah Hotel is a lovely hotel. Our twin room on the 6th floor was perfect with comfortable firm beds and was clean and spacious. Note: importantly the room has a fridge which is not all that common at other Sandakan hotels. The Buffet Breakfast was very good, especially the egg station and food was plentiful. The pool is nicely set in a tropical environment, yet it feels quite open and is of varying depths. There is a good outdoor jacuzzi within the pool area, two slides for kids and a more than adequate gym is close by to the pool area. The Plantation Cafe also served well priced dinners (in addition to breakfast), so there was no need to leave the hotel, except for day tours. An additional Chinese Restaurant is also onsite. We had a really good time. P.S. if you don't have a car, when on day tours pick-up any groceries you may need as it's a fair walk to the shops, but then again that's the beauty of the Sabah Hotel as it's located away from all the hussle and bussle.
