Marco Polo Hotel - Tawau
4.1/5422 Reviews

Marco Polo Hotel - Tawau

Tawau|0.43km from city center
Stay in Deluxe room, spacious, ample solid wood furnishing, bed, sliding wooden door curtain gave a antique warm feel, bathtub was a treat, many newer hotel wouldn't have bathtub for RM150 per night, marble bathroom floor and sinktop, looks wee b it aged but functions well. Personally for environmental friendliness, it is better to maintain quality aged furnishing in hotel rather than continuously dismantling older furnishing to change to new ones which likely to be of less quality, like no longer solid wood or marble. Lobby and breakfast area also have marble floor, lavish chandelier, wood frame walls. Breakfast though limited choice was quite tasty. Just one suggestion: please provide milk for coffee rather than just using creamer pack.
Borneo Royale Hotel

Borneo Royale Hotel

Tawau|1.23km from city center
Bedding was very nice and comfortable, the only issue was, they dont have enough towels to replace on time.. They said it will only be available at 7.30pm..so my suggestion is, in the future, not to put your used towel to be replaced, or inform the housekeeping or the reception, not to take your towels away, until they have the new ones to replace.

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.

The Dream Hotel

Tawau|0.23km from city center
This hotel is clean and situated in a great location. The staff is courteous and helpful. The room is spacious. The bed sheet and pillow cover are spotless clean and smell good. The toilet is decent with hot shower. Still, there are water marks on the toilet wall that are still acceptable. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. There are convenience stores and ATMs in the vicinity. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Semporna Seaview Hotel started operation in 2022, consider quick a new hotel, overall the room condition looked a bit old and the cleanliness is acceptable, location was very near to seafoods restaurant, some tour pick up points. It is next to boat parking area, who's are sensitive to noise, please do not choose to stay at this hotel, because you will wake up by boat motor in the early morning.

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.

Renting a room under Hotel Emas Tawau: Imagine every time when you have the urge and rush to washroom to answer the nature's call (number 2), only to find out that there is NO WATER, and whatever coming out needs to be put on hold. Each and every time, each and every day, that has been my life in Tawau in the past 2 months. Empty water tank or faulty water pump, either way NO WATER. Need to shower - no water. Need to pass motion - no water. Need to cook or wash - no water Need to practise hand hygiene (wash hand) in a super red zone during pandemic - NO WATER. Have been paying >RM800 per month for rental, water, and electricity with NO INTERNET CONNECTION, for staying in a unit where rats outnumber the human.

The room was pretty big and the lack of window wasn't a problem. There could have been a few more amenities. There was tea/coffee/hot water in the lobby, but not in the room. The bed was comfortable. The air con and shower worked well. My only complaint is that there are swallows nesting nearby and they twittered incessantly.
