We booked last minute to stay in the NAK hotel for one night, on the recommendation of Hotel Eden54 in KK. We emailed a day ahead to see whether they had any availability, however, our email was not answered which was unusual based on our experience. However, on arrival we were lucky enough to get a room. The prices are... More

We just stayed here for one night before heading off to Turtle Island so we didn't have too much demands from it. It was a nice hotel, friendly young girl in the reception and young atmosphere up in the bar. The bathroom was nicely refurbished though our room itself looked a bit old and rustic but it worked fine. Bed... More

I stayed in NAK Hotel on every trips to Sandakan. I travel to Sandakan a lot. I usually will stay in Sandakan minimum of 2 nights. On my second stay in Sandakan recently, during the Chinese New Year, I asked for a late check-out. I was told that I must check-out by 4 pm or I will be charged a... More

We stayed in this hotel in our way to Lankayan. The hotel is quite simple but nicely decorated. The room was clean and spacious. There is a restaurant in the roof with a terrace/lounge with wooden tables and cozy sofas, so you can have a lovely breakfast in the morning or some drinks at night. I recommend this place if...

Hotel was perfect for our purpose which was (on two separate nights) a transit hotel. Staff were very friendly/helpful and english was perfect. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated - though basic, only downside was that we found them quite noisy in the mornings. Rooftop restaurant/bar was excellent, a little haven from the craziness of Sandikan :) More

I picked this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor. I knew that after coming out from a 3D/2N Wildlife experience I would like a hotel experience to clean up, have a nice luxurious bath, and indulge in a cafe experience if needed. I was not wrong – this place was great for that purpose. I booked a Classic Single... More

There wasn't much about this hotel I didn't like. The Chinese influence, for me, is equal to the Chinese influence over Sabah. The rooftop bar is incredible, day and night, the mojitos are delicious and the water is hot. Breakfasts are lovely and the staff are most helpful. It's centrally located, the taxis aren't too pushy and the lsmile smile... More

The hotel is very basic, but what makes it special is the decor with a touch of Chinese culture. The rooms are standard and clean, and staff are helpful too. But the best part is of course the rooftop bistro and bar which has an amazing view especially during sunset. Food and drinks are delicious and price is reasonable too. More
