Top Kota Kinabatangan Hotel Reviews

Ormond Sandakan

Ormond Sandakan

10/10 Excellent
"Although this is only given 4 stars, I would say this is more of a 5 star hotel. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds, the staff are friendly and helpful, the restaurant food is delicious (particularly dinner) and the roof top pool/ bar is stunning and very hip with panoramic views of Sandakan and the sea."
