Reviews of Memory Boutique Hotel

I arrived in Tawau at 3 PM, but the airport didn't allow overnight stays, so I had to head to Semporna three hours earlier. Coincidentally, the front desk staff that day didn't speak Chinese or English, so we communicated using a translation app. It went smoothly; they allowed us to rest in the lobby and use the public restrooms. They were really kind and friendly throughout. After daybreak, we left our luggage there and went island hopping. We checked in upon our return in the evening. The cleanliness was good, and I didn't find any mosquitoes. My only minor regret was not having a place to hang my washed clothes, but thankfully, summer clothes dry quickly. The location is great, with plenty of food and drink options downstairs, including restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, for the price, I was very satisfied. If I go back, I'd definitely consider staying here again. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I'll just use my island hopping pictures instead.

The hotel is right in town and has everything you need. It feels pretty safe too! Don't expect anything too fancy, but it's decent value for money.

The location is quite central in town, just a few steps away from KFC, and about a 7-8 minute walk to the seafood market and Bataras supermarket. For this price, it's considered very good value for money in town. The room is a bit small, but it doesn't really bother me since I only stayed there at night and went island hopping during the day.

Great value! It's incredibly convenient to walk everywhere, with the pier just a 12-minute stroll away. Plus, it comes with a private bathroom. Some folks might complain about minor things, but you can't expect the world. The room is clean, the bathroom is fully equipped for showering, and you can even dry clothes on the second floor. Honestly, what more could you ask for? I'll definitely stay here again next time. It's a mere 3-minute walk to Wangwang Suduowu, 3 minutes to KFC, and there's a small supermarket right in front of the hotel, about 10 meters away. I genuinely think it's a fantastic spot!

Clean and strategic location in the Center of Semporna Town. A lot of eateries nearby such as KFC and there’s a restaurant just a few lot away where you can find Chinese cuisine and seafood.

We booked a family room, which was good as it came with one large and one small bed. The room itself was extremely small, and the facilities were quite basic. Even with minimal luggage, there was no designated place to put it, so it had to stay on the floor. The overall cleanliness was decent, and the bedding was clean. However, the bathroom facilities were quite rudimentary, and the bathroom's hygiene was just so-so. The location was fantastic, right in the very center of town, making it easy to access all the breakfast places. The owner is a local who doesn't speak Chinese, though simple English communication was possible. Don't expect much in the way of effective service. However, for a diver who spends their entire day out, this temporary lodging offers excellent value for money.

If you're visiting Semporna for island hopping, this place is a good option. It's affordable and conveniently located. The cleanliness is just average, but it's perfectly livable. You'll need to bring your own toiletries, though toothbrushes are provided.

I was very satisfied with my overall experience staying at this hotel in Semporna town. The hotel's location is excellent; it's very convenient for dining, shopping, and meeting up for island hopping tours. You can easily walk to nearby restaurants, which made planning my itinerary a breeze.

My go to hotel in Semporna, centrally located clean and comfy

staff is helpful and kind. consider to give us check in 1hr early from the check in time. we check out at 7am because we go to island hopping and they give us to leave our luggage at the hotel and shower there. thankyou so much. will repeat after this. overall 10/10 👍👍👍

It's okay. The location is convenient, being close to the pier near Starbucks. The overall ambiance is pretty standard. I appreciated the peace and quiet. It also seemed like housekeeping had serviced my room while I was out. Plus, they can lend you an adapter if you need one.

Very clean hotel, compared to some other hotels in the vicinity. The rooms are very small and not suitable for couples who are not used to being confined together. Bathroom only has a rack for towels. Bring a hanger. There is no closet. If you have heavy luggage, ask for ground floor. There is no lift.

The room's cleanliness was disappointing. On our first day, we found the floor sticky and ants crawling everywhere. I even had to wipe it clean myself. The room size was only just manageable. On the plus side, the location was good – it was very close to several trendy restaurants and not far from the pier.

Easy to go to seafest jetty, near semporna city
