“Good concept, terrible location, poor execution”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

we checked in and stayed for about 1-2 hours only. the idea of this hotel is great-- a floating hotel! however, the hotel is actually in Semporna Harbor, which means that the smell of boat exhaust combined with the eau de low tide is just awful. it's also right next to the public jetty, so boats are always going in and out. the toilets are outside the room and while the toilet appears to have proper plumbing, the sink and shower waters just go straight into the harbor. i also didn't feel particularly secure, as part of the floating facilities are a public walkway and a public restaurant.

“Little OASIS”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

This is a beautiful little oasis in which to relax and enjoy the sea and view. The rooms are clean and simple and It was beautiful. The staff are very helpful and attentive and it is only a short walk to the town and dive operators. The free breakfasts is ok . overall we are happy with DragonInn.

“unhygiene condition and costly food”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010

I was on holiday toDragon Inn Resort for two nights with extended family of 5 adults to celebrate my birthday. The place and surrounding is beautiful and I was told it was the top seventh resorts in the world as floating restaurant.My sister and me had a horrible experience with their bed resulting in having bed bugs bites the next morning and wish future holiday people will not have the same experience as us. The Breakfast is continental with toasted bread with jam/butter and deep fried banana but they are poor in giving proper utenstil. We were given a teaspoon to spread onto the bread and staff cannot understand when I askd for a butter knife to spread the jam onto bread.The restaurant food is of poor taste with no flavour and yet they charge very expensive price

“best in Semporna, great budget accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

Dragon Inn is a really nice and cheap hotel, clean rooms, nice staff. We chose front line room; it has a free side that looks directly to the sea...and to the boat corridor, so there's noise from early morning to late night. Choose the others basic room, cheaper, for noiseless sleeps!

“Rat in the ROOM!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

After having this "hotel" recommended to us we were looking forward to having a night in a hotel after staying in a resort off shore! The room smelt of mot balls, which was not pleasant! The room was very spacious, clean but our telly didn't work! Anyhow, during a peaceful nights sleep we were awoken by a strange noise of something in the room, lights on and we saw a rat crawling up the wooden wall! There are no warnings when you pay that you are paying for a 'friend' to join you!
Went to night watchman- fast alseep, not checking for rats roaming into guests rooms! He was not helpful at all. My boyfriend managed to get the rat out of the room! Could not get back to sleep...rubbish!
