“Nice budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

Stayed here for 2 nights. We had a room on the 2nd floor facing the back. There was no view as it was overlooking a storage area. The room was clean and attached toilet was clean. The room had tv. I would suggest to get a room on the 3rd floor facing the hill at the back, as it was beautiful with a small garden. There is no elevator, however. We didn't hear any prayers at all from the mosque.

The hotel also has a safe gated parking area for a few cars. The roof top garden is where breakfast is served. Breakfast is self-served, with toast and coffee/tea. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. It is a short walk from the busy downtown streets.

“cheap and did the job”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2010

person found this review helpful

we stayed at the sandakan hotel for 1 night then went to turtle island, and hadnt booked anywhere for the next night. a couple we had met suggested the london hotel as it was about 15usd a night, compared to the 65 usd at the previous hotel.
the room was fine, its nothing flash for what you pay, we have never stayed in such a cheap place so we were a bit unsure, however we thought it was fine.
the BIG DOWN SIDE is that its right next to the mosque. who have pray ceremonies over loud speakers until around 10 or 11 at night and then again from like 4am onwards. this really didnt help us get any sleep.
so for 1 night id say its fine, but for more than that, maybe try else where.

“OK - just”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2010

London Hotel is OK, little walk to centre town. Staff friendly but not too knowledgeable.

“Fine but not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

This place will do the trick if you need a place to stay for the night but it is nothing special. They do have internet, beer, and water for sale so you don't have to go far. The breakfast included is white bread toast and bananas, so you might want to find something else. Not great value for your money but not bad either.
