Ormond Sandakan

Ormond Sandakan

10/10 Excellent
"When passing through Sandakan following our wildlife experience south, this hotel was the best. Enabled us to have a final night in Borneo before flying home in a lovely hotel. The pool and rooms were great and the staff were beyond helpful. From the front desk welcome to the hospitality at level 13, it was excellent. Well priced for a connecting room."
