Sandakan Backpackers Hostel
Vad gästerna säger
Great location, friendly, helpful staff private room has a/c that works very well The shared bathrooms are a little grungey - the place is tidy but it's . . . a hostel - there's a nice main lobby to hang out in and a rooftop to socialise and good WiFi throughout the hostel. the key card/fob to get in the building is extra security.

Staff so helpful with arranging busses and tours to Kinabatangan river - kept in communication with me even after I left to ensure I made it to my destination! It’s also easy to visit the sanctuaries in Sepilok due to a sanctuary. Lovely roof terrace and great overall vibe to the place. You can refill your water bottle for free whenever you want, and there is a decent breakfast included. They also provide free earplugs which is nice Also - I saw in another review and thought I’d echo.. had some amazing food at Fatimah just down the road!!

Great location. Free water, tea and coffee all day. Free simple breakfast from 7-9.30. Toast with spreads, banana and boiled egg. Room was large, if a little sparse. Free workout area with yoga mats, weights and punch bag. Decent rooftop with chairs and hammocks. Also really good restaurant nearby called Fatimahs, cheap, so tasty and lovely staff.

The location is great. Right in the middle of all the action (although the city is weirdly spread and doesn't have just one center). It's reasonably clean (as far as hostels go) There were enough bathrooms & toilets, so we didn't have to wait our turn (although the hostel didn't feel at its capacity and it was the low season). The simple breakfast is actually nice. You might end up having a second breakfast, but it's a good start of the day.

Extremely helpful staff. The best recommendations I got during all my travel time in Malesia were from the receptionist in the hostel. Excursions, money exchange with the better course, transportation, she new everything. When I prised her, she answered: "It is just my job and I like it". Super attitude. She even had good recommendations for diving in Sepadan (it is another city!). I admire professionals like that! In the hostel is relaxed and chill wibe, clean, smart murals on walls. Thank you for the best stay!

Lovely receptionist. Good rooftop to chill with hammocks and a few cans of beer from the hostel desk. I saw the toilets being cleaned multiple times and never had any issues with the shower water (despite there being a sign that said sometimes the water can turn brown). We were happy with our stay.

1. The location is great and with nice sea view (Especially from the rooftop). 2. Cheapest accommodation option in town. 3. Basic but comfortable for a short stay. Security card included. 4. Comfortable bed & pillow with blanket and towel provided. 5. AC works very well. 6. Basic clean shower & toilet. 7. A simple free breakfast is provided (Bread + Fruit + coffee/Tea). Window table to watch the sea while having meals is a bonus. 8. Free flow of cold & hot water. 9. Love their hammock on the rooftop with the sea view.

Location and the chill vibe. The roof top lounge is my favourite place. Unfortunately smoking is allowed . The friendly receptionist who checked me in. Great WiFi .

Great location, in the heart of Sandakan, overlooking the water. Helpful and friendly staff, they were able to provide information on getting a public bus to Sepilok and they were also able to help arrange a day trip to Kinabantangan River. Basic breakfast provided, it's great for days when you don't have time to go out or if you need to leave early.
