Friendly staff and good location for less money
This hotel is located in the center of Sandakan. The market is directly below the hotel. The view of the hotel roof is fantastic. The roof is looking very nice. For breackfast you can thous between two plates. Englisch or Amarican. We had pancakes with chocolat saus and banana, very tastefull. We had no dinner at the hotel.
Just fine but noisy on the scenic side
I stayed here twice and paid for the more expensive water view one night. The room was extremely noisy. Bed and room were basic but fine. The second time I was in the cheaper backside of the hotel room....room was identical but no noise. Friends that stayed the second night on the water side confirmed they didn't sleep well due to the noise eg alarms, motorbikes & yelling!!!! Same alarm I had heard a week before.... Staff very friendly. Food fine. BaLin rooftop bar and eatery were nice.
We spent 1 night in Nak Hotel Sandakan. The room was a large double room on the 4th floor, it was clean enough, the smell was also good, but it was not so quiet and had not too much convinience. The furniture was old and poor the shower was not working. The breakfast was very very poor. The hotels location was very good,it was in the centre and we could find in the near restaurants, stores and markets. The city of Sandakan is not very interesting but we made great tours from there. (Turte Island, Sepilok, Kintabanan, Gomantong Cave) So, I can recommend this hotel for guests who hasn't got great acceptations.
Nak Hotel
Was generally a good hotel although street outside a little loud.
Unfortunately there were floods and landslides in Sandakan when we were there which meant breakfast didn't appear - lack of staff meant disorganisation when this happened.

Was not happy with the showers. They need to improve the piping. Also we had ants in the room. So they need to make it more cleaner.
Beyond our Expectations
From the moment we arrived the wonderful staff, the beautiful hotel and our perfect suite exceeded our expectations.
We fell in love with this hotel and its central location; walking distance to the waterfront, shops, restaurants, bars and everything else you could possibly want and need.
We were further blown away by the absolutely incredible rooftop restaurant and bar. Wonderfully equipped with loungers, large comfortable beds and hundreds of pillows for your enjoyment, we spent all of our free time up there relaxing in the breeze and sipping fabulous drinks. The food was also the best we had while in Sabah!
A hotel with unmatched value, uniqueness and customer service, our only regret was not staying longer. We are already planning our next trip there!

Hotel is in a good location but...
Hotel is in a good location but really noisy from street activity below. If noise is an issue, don't request the seaview rooms.
Rooftop bar is a nice venue which serves alcohol (rare in this part of the world) though the drinks are pricey.
Staff are helpful & friendly.

Good hotel,good service.I like to have internet in the room.Wifi or cable,it doesn`t matter.Now it is only in the lobby.It was fast enough,faster than the Novotel in KK.
The roof top bar/cafe is nice but...
The roof top bar/cafe is nice but menu is Western with no Malaysian dishes. Wifi only works in lobby. The room is decent size, however the air conditioning was anemic, and as we had a forward facing room, the street noise was at time intolerable due to dueling mopeds in the street. The bathroom was equipped with a very poor quality bathtub that felt that it was about to fall apart. The shower/bathtub was not equipped with a curtain completely flooding the floor as the bathroom floor drain was very slow. Installing a shower curtain would provide a simple remedy. Check in staff was barely competent, and was inclined to pretend the credit card machine was out of order--a common characteristic of hotels in Southeast Asia where in many cases, the staff is either ignorant of the proper use of a credit card machine or has been instructed to use deception and pretend that the system is down, thereby forcing the patron/guest to use cash. A few petty issues that one hopes would not represent a pattern. Issuing only one breakfast coupon when two individuals are booked in a room. Really quite petty. The common areas are attractively furnished in bold Chinese style furniture. The roof top bar/restaurant staff was generally apathetic, rather inclined to ignore the patron and spend time gabbing amongst themselves. This reviewer found them to be in general rather immature. The price as found online is good value, however customer service could be greatly improved, and some instruction in proper conduct towards the guest (guest is more important than gabbing with your coworkers) would help. This reviewer was greatly turned off by the check in staff pretending that the credit card machine was down, and then issuing only one breakfast voucher, when the room as booked was clearly for two individuals. The cleaning staff and laundry staff was very nice. Feel that management should retrain staff. When does a paying guest play second fiddle to a coworker in regards to attention.
