Ormond Sandakan ★★★★
"The hotel environment is very comfortable and pleasant, and the service is also quite good. Since the hotel is located above a shopping mall, I would suggest adding more directional signs, as I had difficulty finding the entrance on my first day. The swimming pool area is beautiful and also functions as a pool bar. However, because it is open to the public, it can become quite crowded. I would recommend restricting access to hotel guests during weekends and public holidays to better protect guests' enjoyment and use of the facilities. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I enjoyed the hotel's ambiance and services."

"It is an aged hotel however the maintenance is just ok. The location is superb, near to airport and many food nearby. Feel itchy after sleeping a night. Suspect the bed is not properly cleaned. Suggest to have the pillow replaced. They are not fluffy anymore. There is no hot water in the shower."
