After explaninh they keep saying that the price i pay to them is worthy for two voucher only even i explaning to them that before i book i clearly see stated there applied for 3vouchers! And the next morning luckly i got friendly staff who told me that actually i applied for 3free breakfast instead of 2. Thank you and pls remained check of any regulation since its family room which is fit for 4person .

Pros: The breakfast was good with sufficient choice and variety. The room was spacious

Cons: There was a large chinese restaurant that was either not open or almost empty. It was licensed but did not look at all inviting. The restaurant on the ground floor where breakfast was served along with other meals was not licensed so no choice really but to go to the Sheraton if you wanted an alcoholic drink(which I did).

Pros: The staff here is very well-trained and professional. Their English is more than adequate and they always stand ready to assist you with whatever you need. The showers/hot water are terrific. It is also convenient to have in-house eating opportunities, although there are plenty within easy walking distance of the hotel.

Cons: The beds were a bit short (I am 5'11 and hung over the end) and the air-conditioning is great but a bit all-or-nothing, which means one has to decide if one wants to sleep with a breeze overhead (even with the fan off). But I didn't let that detract from enjoying the hotel. These are minor things. As humid as it is here, I am not inclined to complain about "too much" AC.

Pros: Staff were brilliant, location excellent, good breakfast and dinner.

Cons: Very dated, bedding was very old, felt like it needed a really good clean.

Pros: Good location in the center of Sandakan, nice breakfast, rooms are clean and comfortable.

Pros: Large, comfortable room on a quiet street. Good location. Good coffee. Okay breakfast with Malay buffet plus eggs and waffles. High floors have sea view, the rest face pleasant trees (not many in downtown area).

The free transfer from hotel to airport helps coz we return our rented car the night before due to our 8.30 flight from sandakan. Hotel is also nearer to sepilok orang utan rehabilitation and borneo sun bear centre vs hotels in the city.

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: No lift

Pros: The furniture provided, especially the bed are very comfortable. Its cleanliness also in a top condition. The location is very quite and peaceful, and yet the food stall, supermarket are located nearby to your convenience.

Cons: It will be so much better if the hotel to have elevator to make it earsier for the customer to go up to their room at 1st and 2nd floor. It will be a big problem if you are travelling with family. The hotel staff also would not assist you to bring up the luggage, unless you asked them while they are not busy

Pros: Clean

Pros: The room design and the bed is very comfy and excellent choice if you are looking place to rest.

Cons: The internet wifi connection is very poor at some room especially at the 3rd floor (room number 301-305)

Pros: We stayed at Mark's Lodge for an extended period of time in May as we were on our elective in Sandakan. Initially, I had booked 7 nights prior to leaving for Malaysia but we decided to only stay 5 nights and head off for a 10-day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. The hotel staff were fantastic and held our bag for us whilst we went away and then also gave us 1 night free on credit as we had only used 5 nights from our previously paid 7. When it came to booking our flights and hotels, we had a major catastrophe, the hotel wifi went down mid-booking but the staff on hand were extremely helpful, offering to tether their own phones to our laptop and even let us ring the UK to get our families to book for us as the tethering didn't seem to work. The guest service and kindness from the hotel and their staff are second to none!

Cons: The only downside for me was the WiFi being very poor on the third floor but once we returned from Vietnam, the WiFi issue had been fixed. Also, there is no lift so climbing up 2 flights of stairs became strenuous in the heat, especially with luggage also. (Although staff do offer to carry your big bags up to your room for you).

Pros: Very intuitive and 1st class facilities. BOSE radio, LED TV with USB extension for easy plug in, bathrobe. The little things they got it right.

Cons: The adjoining restaurant was closed, no breakfast on the premises. No lift, walk up.

Pros: Room was clean n all facilities works. Bed was wonderful. Had a very good sleep.

Pros: Good

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: No parking car for consumers

Pros: Location

Cons: Toilet

Pros: Hotel rate. Front desk staff. Hotel location. There is enough parking at the back of hotel and nearby.

Cons: Near to mosque... somemore we stayed during fasting month. So its really loud. The backside parking is quite dirty. The facilities is not in good condition (but the rate is cheap)

Pros: When the receptionist was actually there in the morning (not sure if same person as was missing the night before) she was very friendly, helpful and spoke good English.

Cons: This is hands down the most unclean, actually downright filthy place I have ever stayed. We chose this hotel as it had a 24 h reception and we arrived late at night. When we came to the hotel there we three men sleeping on couches in the moldy-smelling reception. They woke up but no one could help us check in. They barely spoke any English. After 10-15 min they told us that the receptionist had left and they did not know where she was. Finally the oldest man (who, poor him, seemed a bit confused whether due to sleepiness or old age), finally helped us to two sets of keys for our rooms. We went to the rooms. Cobwebs in ceiling corner, spots and hair on the sheets and bedding (were they even clean?), dirty spots on everything from floor to doors to walls to bathroom shelves (leftover toothpaste, soap markings). Mirror visibly dusty and smudgy. Curtains absolutely appalling and sticky. Ash tray inside so probably a lot of the sour, old smell and stickiness could be due to indoor smoking. Not suitable for non-smokers. When trying to air out the room cigarette smell came in, so we only used air con. The flush button on our toilet was not there, so we could not flush at all. Shower was old and dirty w disintegrating rubber panels in rusty brown. Thankfully we left next morning.

Pros: The restaurant is no longer opened. It looks like an abandoned property. The front desk is very dark and internet was not that good.

Cons: Internet, facility offered, closed restaurant.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Some of the facilities such as iron and water heater are not provided in room and need to ask the staff if want to use

Pros: The location

Cons: i dunt like the counter service is not good..and the breakfast was on 8am..but already delay 45minutes..and the breakfast havent standby early...and inside the room didnt have soap for customer...the staff say in the price for stay havent prepare for the customer..and the wifi connection was slowly..mobile connection also no good on the location..i hope please improve your service system...is very bad

Pros: No breakfast includes in the price. Only the reception look nice and clean. One of the staff helped me as much as her manager wants.

Cons: The dormitory is ridiculous. Looks like and abandoned room that they put 3 beds and they sell as a budget accommodation. Smelling, bed is dirty and looks from the previous guests (I ask for new bed clothes), the floor is dirty and smelly, the toilet was old, dirty and smelly with leak dirty water, stains on the walls, ceiling and mirror. Spiders webs on corners. Not AC and one of the fans didn't work. There are internet WiFi but doesn't work in the room. I asked for another room and they reject me.
