We arrived at the Sabah Hotel the day the city had locked down for COVID19, including the hotel.
The staff honoured the booking for our group and allowed us to stay until our rearranged flights or scheduled flights. We had limits applied, room with meals delivered, no other hotel facilities or services.
Thank you to all the staff we had (minimal) contact with, all were very polite and empathetic to our dilemma.

After staying at the tea plantation and in the rainforest, it was nice to get back to a modern stay.

The room was spacious and relatively clean. Most amenities were included; hairdryer is found outside the bathroom, in a cupboard at the furthest end of the room (insert shrug emoji). The water pressure was absolutely amazing!

The bed was comfortable and there is plenty of surfaces and electrical sockets. Wifi can drop in and out but is good when it's working.

There's a beautiful pool and a gym but I didn't use it.

Meals were pretty good, with good service.

Location wise, it's not in the centre of Sandakan but a 20 minute walk should take you there.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and it was a good place to end our trip.

(Disclaimer: this stay was part of a Trip a Deal tour)

We staid at this hotel as part of a package holiday with Riviera, two nights bed and breakfast, room was clean and tidy even if it was dated, food was fine and a good selection of meals to choose from. Nice pool and friendly staff.
