The hotel is in a great location, right on the waterfront and there is no shortage of eating places nearby. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The extractor fan from the hotel kitchen made the rooms at the front somewhat noisy in the morning and evening. Breakfast was very good.

Exceeded my expectations

A lovely little hotel in a great location on the waterside with loads of food and drink options nearby. Definitely get a room with a view of the water.

A nice seaside gem!

This is a little gem on the seaside walk. Terrific breakfast and the staff were amazing. Also the quirky music collections were a nice added touch. The beds are a bit firm and it’s not a luxury hotel but the price reflects it. I would stay here again!

Nice enough room, great location and excellent staff, comfy bed, only issue was a bad smell that came from the drains, the staff were quick to spray the drains for us but it only temporarily masked the smell. Didn’t affect our stay massively but would have been nice to not have an odour. Would still recommend for a short stay in sandakan!

Basic but fine

Basic accomodation - served its purpose. We thought there was a problem with the air conditioning, and they responded quickly and thankfully the remote simply needed new batteries. There was some nearby music/street noise at around 9pm that would have been disruptive, but it did not go too late. Location is handy. Love the memorabilia!!!

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The rooms were basic, but comfortable. There was entertainment going on outside and it sounded like the person singing was in our room. The structure didn't block outside nose very well.

Hotel Review I recently stayed at Elopura Hotel and had a mixed experience. Despite being only three years old, the hotel looked quite dated and did not match the vibrant pictures shown online. The facilities, including the gym and furniture, appeared to be poorly maintained, which was disappointing. Additionally, the bed was uncomfortably hard, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. It's also important to note that parking is not guaranteed at this hotel, which can be a hassle for guests with cars. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and accommodating, which added a nice touch to my stay. The highlight for me was the stunning sunrise view in the morning - it was truly breathtaking. If you're not particularly interested in visiting the nearby wet market, I would recommend considering other areas, as there are many convenient options available for those with a car. Overall, I would suggest looking for other accommodations if you're seeking a more modern and comfortable experience.

We wanted a mid priced hotel near the centre of town/ waterfront. The room had everything we needed. Enough space to open two suitcases. Comfy bed. Good towels. Kettle and tea/coffee making. Separate bathroom. The shower was good. We did notice the silicone around shower glass was very thick, amateurish, but it worked. We used the waterfront restaurant for breakfast and it had a decent selection, including an egg station. We also had one meal in the rooftop area with views down over the harbour. It is close to other waterfront restaurants. Its opposite a large multistory mall with many food, grocery, pharmacy, clthing stalls. Behind that there is a laundromat and the wet markets. We enjoyed seeing all the fresh produce including the fishing boats return. Parking is out the front and regulated by the hotel staff. We hired a driver for two day to go out to all the atttractions , Lobock Bay Probiscus Monkey Sanctuary, Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Sun Bears, Rainforest Discovery Centre ( including return to collect us at 8pm after night walk) as well as temple, SinmSim Water Garden, Sandakan Death March Memorial, Edith Keith house and museum. We thought there was a lot to see and do and just needed a good bed before our tour to Sukau and Utan for wildlife.
