Super OYO 43959 Astana Hotel
3.7/5161 Reviews

Super OYO 43959 Astana Hotel

Tawau|1km from city center
Hotel: The check in process was a mess. They wanted deposits when checking in that was not listed when we booked the hotel. No one to help us with luggage to our rooms have to carry them ourselves. Luckily there is a elevator/lift to the floors which makes it a bit easier. The hotel is not near any good food stalls, you have to travel quite a distance to get decent food. The only good thing is that it is near the major market where you can purchase fresh seafood and other products that you might want to take home as souvenirs. They are also near a supermarket which allows you to buy almost anything you need a reasonably cheap price. Room: Stuffy when we entered. It's like no one has stayed there for a long time. Turned the air conditioning unit on and it took hours before the room got to a nice temperature. The towels are rough and there is no soap, shampoo or other amenities you would normally find at even the cheapest hotel. The shower is ok with hot water. There is no floor mat so there will be wet floors if you walk out of the bath room wet. The window was not locked when we went in and there is a fire balcony and stairs in front of the window which poses a risk of your room being burglarise at any time. It is better to have a room without window as the view is nothing to shout about. Service: Very very poor. When we ask for soap, extra towels and etc ... the standard answer we don't have extra towels or soap. The reception does not do anything for you except to make sure you pay the deposit and process your checking in/out. Summary: Will never ever stay in this hotel again for my next trip to Tawau. Will NOT recommend anyone to stay here even if the prices are reasonable because the service and rooms are not up to standard. This place should not be called a hotel.

Borneo Royale Hotel
3.8/5204 Reviews
The housekeeping service is questionable, no towels replacement untill late evening, i come to a stage where i had to use the bed sheets as a drying alternate after shower, after several calls for the towels, as i was rushing for an appointment to attend to.. I think this is unacceptable.. they should have left the used ones behind the least, until they can replace the towels.
City Garden Hotel
4.3/540 Reviews
I stayed for one night in the standard room. Surprisingly good in such a small budget hotel. Very clean and very comfortable, standard room facilities, in the safe in the room they even provide you with toothbrushes, combs and disposable slippers. (These are available in rooms only 4 stars and more than 4 stars now)...you can find many small restaurants (seafood) opposite the hotel. PS: The hotel front desk and the hotel backstage CCTV can be seen on room TV. They'll also deliver FOC coconut rice to your room in the morning.
Vista Hotel
4.4/540 Reviews
The place was really nice, convenient and clean. No amenities as it feels more like a backpackers inn. More than worth for the price for divers who need 24 hours before flying. With tons of food and other necessities nearby. If you are staying here and love seafood please try Kam Ling Seafood.
La Hotel Tawau
4.3/5118 Reviews
LA hotel used to be one of the best hotels in Tawau, but not now. The facilities and services of other new hotels are much better than LA hotel now. Those new hotels may not have breakfast in their packages but the hotel rate is reasonable. LA hotel's breakfast quality has lots of room to improve.
Heritage Hotel
3.8/527 Reviews
The stay was a decent and okay experience overall. Though I enjoyed it, I would like to remind the staffs at the hotel to ensure the cleanliness of the room’s toilet to be the highest concern. I could see dirty dust and ashes of a cigarette in the sink and the smell was definitely there. Also, the bed sheet stink. I could smell the likeliness of a body odour on the bed which was totally very unpleasant. Please be reminded that the hotel is located at the city centre, so the noise would probably become another concern, you could hear sirens, honks, shouts from the streets etc. On the bright side, everything is just within walking distant, even 24H restaurants. I wasn’t looking for the best experience like I would usually do when I go travelling as I was only staying for a night due to an urgent business. I booked at the last minute just for a transit, so I cannot say I did not enjoy the experience, it was better than staying out in the streets. Heritage hotel provides cheaper option too, so everyone can save up a little. Anyway, I can recommend you to stay here, but of course, like anywhere else in the world, you could find better option with similar price or cheaper, better experience, get you fully satisfied and all, but that’s probably unlikely in Tawau during an urgent time. So, 6.5/10 from me.
Prince Hotel
4/549 Reviews
The room was quite spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids. Got 7e next to the hotel lobby, really easy to buy necessaries.
