The Pavilion Hotel
4.2/5133 Reviews
Glad that I stayed just for 1 night, but that 1 night cause me to have a bar flu, as I am allergic to dusty. The place itself is okay, and quite convenient for those who just want to stay for a day transit, as it is near to the airport, and only 20mins to Sepilok Orang Utan. The place is rundown, as u can see in the pictures, they seem not to have effort to change the bad wall paper, clean the dusty etc. Really need to refurbish again. Stay away if u have an allergic to dusty, u will regret like me. But a good area for transit in terms of location. Breakfast food was just okay.
Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat
4.2/540 Reviews
Highly recommend staying here! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have free transportation to the RDC, Sepilok Orangutan Centre, and the Sun Bear Centre. The staff was also able to help me get signed up to do two night tours at the RDC and provided transportation to and from. They can help with other tour reservations as well though I did not have time to take advantage of them. The retreat itself is beautiful with amazing views! You really get the experience of being immersed in nature while you are here. They provided breakfast for free and then have a simple menu that you can purchase from for lunch and dinner. The vegetarian curry and vegetarian fried noodles were delicious and the rest of the food looked good as well. The prices for everything were also reasonable and was well worth it!
Hotel Sandakan
4.2/574 Reviews
We got this location on a cancellation by another hotel and couldn't have been more pleased. Our Junior Suite was spacious and comfortable. The buffet was excellent and dinner at the Chinese restaurant on 1st floor terrific. Not Halal certified (i.e.: Pork and liquor served here) we enjoyed the dim-sum brunch on Saturday. The evening entertainment left everyone happy with pictures to remember the performance. The owner is a fantastic host. Limited English programming on TV. A destination in itself.

The Mark's Lodge
4/516 Reviews
This was our 12th stay at Marks Lodge and the hotel is a decent hotel in Bandar Indah. Staff are attentive and pleasant. Hotel rooms are decent and clean but the TV channels are in need of upgrading as you can barely watch anything as the channel selection is horrible. We also as part of our group had left a letter asking for a sponsorship for an event we were participating in given we had stayed at the hotel but never heard back from the management. On that basis, and the lack of care in replying, we decided to give the hotel a 1 star.
Hello Kitty Signature Suite
4.6/53 Reviews
The deco is absolutely stunning. Pretty, can't deny this. Kids were happy to see the hello kitty theme, small size couch for the kids to sit. Downside is the amenities for this accommodation is poorly maintained. Front door can't close, owner ask us to just lock gate don't close front door or door will not able to be open from inside (?!), balcony look dangerous for children, so many sure not to let any kids go there. Lucky just book the place for a night, else will be worry for safely. Pic included where door required to stay open whole day/night to avoid locked in. Lol.
