The breakfast buffet options were really limited. Eg, theres only 1 type of chicken and they put very little amount each batch. Had to wait another batch once its finish. Its not worth paying rm25-30 per head for the breakfast. I suggest you go by foot to the nearby places or restaurant for better food options.  I pick this place mainly for its swimming pool, but after seeing the water up close, its SO DIRTY! You can see a lot of phlegm, saliva, dust, hairs, some trash inside the water with algae. THERE WERE LOTS OF HAIRS during my visit. I felt disgusted by the water pool, pls save ur kids from going into the disease-ridden pool. The hotel needs to upgrade their pool- water filter system. Please. I tried the full body massage service, cost me about RM78, it was okay-ish. Not much to compliment or complaint, it was very average. And they dont use proper massage bed, they use thin mattress placed on the floor. So you cannot put ur face down, u need to put ur face sideways, which made my neck uncomfortable the whole time.  Otherwise room was okay, they need to clean under the bed, as i notice theres A LOT OF trash under the bedframe. The towel seems to be very old, they need to replace it. Looks very worn out.  During my stay, the water pipe had rust in it. It was very rusty for the whole 1 hour, i had to flush it out before the water become usable. Mind you. Theres a lot of positive things about the place too, but a positive experience should be a given, that a basic standards, so i only point out the things that may ward you off from coming to this place if you're like me.  Im travelling with kids, so I expect more quality service. If im travelling alone, i really don't care with the downsides of this place.

We recently stayed at The Pavilion Hotel in Sandakan and had a pleasant experience, especially during breakfast. The dining area was clean, spacious, and well-lit, providing a comfortable environment to start the day. The breakfast spread was simple yet satisfying, offering options such as bread, spreads, and beverages like fresh juice. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring the tables were clean and guests were well-served.

Everything was perfect with great hospitality.. great location....its worthy to have a stay here with budget cost....the bank is just behind the hotel and you can enjoy the night market on weekend nearby....there are plenty of restaurants you can choose to enjoy local food....I can easily go anywhere because the E - hailing is just a click away...

Slightly dated, yet clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Shower wouldn't turn on when I first arrived but was quickly fixed.

I had to change room twice. The first room have an air conditioning problem. The second room have problem with the door lock. Nice seaview from my room.

A great value option for a short stay in Sandakan. You need to get a grab taxi to the main part of town. The room was spacious but there was a bit of a smell. It was great to have air con for such a budget price. The Mubarak restaurant nearby is cheap and tasty. There's a supermarket across the road.

Location : not too far from kg pukat, seafood bak kut teh, harbour mall; but quite a distance to IJM. A quiet place and not so happening. Overall Sandakan places are quiet and dark when night is approaching. Service was good, friendly staff. Amenities was quite old but OK in term of management. Room and bathroom are clean.

I'm surprised how big and comfy the room is. It's like I'm staying in service appar**ent. Service is great with housekeeping cleaning our room everyday. Downside is the location is very isolated

Room was clean and staffs were friendly. Will definitely pay a 2nd visit.

Sandakn inn hotel is the best. Room much nicer and bigger than expected with lovely views. have lift and near city center. Very helpful, Clean rooms and good staff. worth for the money and it cheapest. Recommended.
