    What a great little find! I stayed at Harbourside Backpackers in Sandakan for a few nights and it was perfect. The place was extremely clean and tidy, even cleaner than some big hotels I've stayed in. The staff were helpful and kind, and the location was right in the heart of the town. The rooms were basic but clean, and the kitchenette for cooking and breakfast was a bonus. Plus, the common areas were spacious and cozy, making it easy to mingle with other travelers. I had a fantastic experience at this hotel.

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were well-maintained and always clean. The location was convenient, with a supermarket and restaurants nearby.

    The kitchen area could use some improvements, particularly the worn-out pots and pans. The laundry service was not up to par, as my clothes were not properly cleaned.

    We had an amazing time at the hostel in Sandakan. It was centrally located, close to restaurants, shops, and the sea. The common areas were spacious and well-equipped, with a kitchen for self-catering and a cozy living area with TV and books. We loved the clean and comfortable dorms, complete with air conditioning. The bathrooms and showers were always spotless. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, even when we had to wake them up early in the morning. We would definitely choose to stay at this hostel again if we return to Sandakan.
