We spent a week at this property. There is a breakfast set-up for guests, but no actual restaurant. There are good dining options nearby. Our room was spacious with electric blackout curtains and a comfortable bed. The staff are attentive and available for assistance. The Wi-Fi was good, the TV was good. The pool was warm and wonderful, but no lounge chairs, just plastic chairs.

Room was clean. Additional pillows and towels will be charged - i believe only budget hotels do that. Shower area was spacious enough but beware of the slippery floor. Coffee provided with plastic spoons which would bend in shape when immersed in hot water. No refrigerator in the room. Overall, i feel that they are calculative in the way they treat their customers.

I choose to come back to stay at this hotel because it is near the Kim Fung Market. My children enjoy eating snacks and local delicacies at this market and lots of choices to select for afternoon teas. This time our hotel room's air-con is not working. Quick thinking, the hotel staff move us to another room where the air-con is working great.

A very nice & clean hotel to stay for any business trips and the surrounding is generally quite during the night for a good night rest after a long hard day out. There is a pool for a quick dip but did not have the chance to use it then.

I rarely write reviews of hotels as I have always had great experiences... But the Livingston Hotel shocked me. I arrived at the hotel a little disheveled as I had spent the last three nights on a wildlife expedition on the Kinabatangan river. As I arrived I was completely ignored by the bell boy and the staff at check in. I struggled with my bags to the check in desk where I was looked at with disgust. I placed my bags down and handed over my passport. I was continuously asked by the manager if I had a reservation and she then continuously repeated the price and looked at me in a condescending way. She then said are you sure that price is ok? I looked at her and again repeated my answer of yes. She gave me my room key and I could tell she wanted me away from the check in desk as soon as possible. I asked if there was someone to help with my bags - as I saw the trolley and she then called over the bell boy. I was shocked at how I was treated, purely based on the staff thought that I didn’t have money!! Before my river expedition I spent 4 nights at four points Sheraton, the service at the Sheraton was second to none and blows this hotel out of the water. I would welcome a response from management and an apology!

Good value for money but the breakfast is a bit disappointed since there is no fruit available at all as both of us prefer to have some fruits during breakfast. Besides, sound insulation is not not good since we can hear clearly the conversation of our "neighbours". However, staffs are friendly and helpful as well. Room is spacious and location is good too.

I stayed with a group of friends for business. The hotel looks grand from the outside, but as I entered the room, it’s only a big room with minimal decoration, and bedsheet looks quite old. The next morning we planned to have breakfast in the restaurant, but even the basic thing such as bread has finished. It was only 8.30am! They only had fried noodle, fried rice, porridge, and jam without bread, with hot drinks and cordial. It was a terrible breakfast so we had breakfast at the adjacent coffee shop instead. Overall, it was a dissapointing experience. I wish they could improve on the breakfast section!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the sound proofing of this hotel opened in 2017, is rather good. I had a room facing the main road but could hardly hear the traffic. Very good layout of the deluxe room, good utilitisation of space, satisfactorily furnished and sufficient lighting, I must say better than some hotels which charge much more per room night. Didn't have time to visit their gym or swimming pool. Generally very pleasant and clean ambience. Truly value for money accommodation. There are some parking lots in front of the hotel too. Local popular eateries are within the vicinity, just need some locals to tell you which ones to go to especially for seafood which Sandakan is famous for and other popular fare. Disappointingly though, Malaysian Airlines prohibit checking in of seafood and only allows handcarry. It was a pleasure to also have Tenom avocadoes in season, a bonus, the "milky" variety is way better than imported ones. And local dessert outlets were good too in creating yummylicious avocado desserts. I could not understand how others in my group could take it every day, some even twice a day, till I joined them on the last 2 days of their 4 days eating spree holiday in Sandakan! I will definitely plan my future trips to coincide with the avo season in future.
