“cheap and did the job”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2010
1
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.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2010

Spent several nights here while visiting some sites around Sandakan. Clean rooms (albeit it a bit small). Basic breakfast. WiFi only working in lobby area.

“value for money, quiet and clean with no frills”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

We stayed for 3 nights.The room was quite basic with dated furniture but was clean.The A/C worked and we had satellite TV - only 2 channels in english.
Breakfast was included and served on the roof terrace - toast,bananas,tea and coffee.
We didnt notice any noise from the mosque.
It was only a 10 min walk to the harbour. The area is quite poorly lit at night, so bring a torch if walking alone.
To go to Sepilogue it is easy to catch Bus 14 which will drop you right inside the rehab centre for orangutans.Feeding times are 10am and 3pm. On the way back the bus will pick you up from inside the centre,the guest house have the timetable.Much cheaper to do this way.
