Where to stay in Tawau
Tawau hotels & accommodations
It was really good. My family and I went over for around 1 week to settle some mind boggling matters and the stay here was really relaxing easing our stress and pressure. The view was wonderful especially that we had a high-floor room with windows all over giving us a panoramic view of the deep ocean and majestic mountains. The service was impeccable! It was Chinese N...
The room is very clean and tidy, it’s also very wide and large. We’re very satisfied with the best cost performance. Breakfast is unexpectedly good. It only take us 35 minutes to the Tawau airport. There’re also a lot of wonderful handicraft stores near the hotel. Foods in this town are very delicious and cheap.
There is not too much choice for hotels in Tawau, and I am glad I stayed here. This hotel is very cheap compared to the quality. The room is nice, the bathroom is surprisingly good quality, the bed is firm, what else do you need? Maybe breakfast, which they unfortunately do not have.
I stayed in this hotel on business, so I only used the room to sleep and to do some paperwork. I liked the patient and helpful staff. Dealt with counter staff (who processed my check in with the Agoda voucher) and maintenance (silly me didn't know how to switch the TV on!) and breakfast people. Breakfast offered were more than enough for me. Noodles, rice, bread, po...
Great hotel in Tawau, all new and beautifully designed. Not much in the area as it is out of town but great coffee shop, tea shops and a few restaurants and banks around as it is out of the centre of tawau. Great for transferring in and out of Tawau for diving, definitely recommended.
Not much to say. I stayed one night in transit to Semporna. Advantages are 1.Service was quick, 2.room was big, 3.wifi was available. However, a point to note is that the shower area is quite small even thought the bathroom is sizable. Heritage hotel is on the same street as a few other hotels in the new part of Tawau town, hence comparatively safe. There is ...
I stayed here for 1 night on a business trip. I didnt expect the hotel to be good, but it was!.. Not only is it affordable, it is also cheap. Its close to the supermarket where i got my night snacks, there is adjacent restaurant (good food). And i got my friend and collegues souvenir (mostly food) from the famous nearby local market. Walking distance was abt 3 mins giv...
Overall, I'm satisfied. One of the hotels in Tawau which I'll consider to book & stay again in the future.
This was the perfect place for us to calm down and relax a little from a long travel. The room is super nice and big with a huge double bed (maybe the best we ever had while traveling), fridge, workspace, nice bathroom ... everything you need! We stayed here almost 2 weeks, unfortunately we needed to leave, because of a water problem in the hotel. (I hope you got it fi...
We booked the junior suite. There was no option for breakfast for junior suite unlike the other rooms. We overlook the matter until we arrived on that day. Food was not a problem as there is a nearby eatery. The best thing about this room is the bed. It was so comfy! Truly had a good night sleep after a long flight. Toilet and the toiletries were just mediocre. There ...
Nice staff and strategic location at Tawau town and also nearby 'Pasar Gantung' and Survey Mall. But no airport shuttle service to send me and my family to Tawau airport.
Cheap rooms.... Old furnitures... Great location... Easy to find restaurants and shops. Close to pasar tanjung.
Good place to stay, near to the town. However have to share washroom and shower, the owner did mentioned the house is booked only for us but instead we have to share with 3 other families in one house.
feel like stay at home and staff very helpful......Tawau can consider for 2days travel after Semporna trip cause is near to airport & a lot of thing can shopping at Tanjung Market & Wet Market.....Tawau people very kind & helpful.....
Since we came in three, so, they have this big room with 3 separated beds. That came handy when we didn't want to share our beds.
This hotel is quite old without proper maintenance... Room size is quite big, FOC car park is available... However, the carpet in the room is dirty n smelly, hot shower in the bathroom has low water pressure... The price u book on agoda is cheaper than u book on the spot... If u r willing to pay more, find another better hotel in tawau
I spent 2 nights in Tawau at the start and the end of my diving trip. I didn't explore the town much but the VS Hotel was within walking distance to restaurants and stores. For a budget hotel in Malaysia, the VS was more modern than I expected and a bit cleaner. The room didn't have any windows but otherwise the place was comfortable. Both of my rooms were right next t...

Real reviews for hotels
1. Goto the central Market, you find all kind of Dried seafood. 2. Visit Kam Ling Seafood restaurant.
A small town with full of shoplots. local foods are nice, particularly the seafood, although is a little pricey.
For lunch go to Restoran Keningau which is situated behind Kingston Hotel. For dinner go to Warisan Ibu.
Nice city, quiet and peaceful but not suitable for long stay due to no nightlife at all, superb boring.
Small town with not much to do. Can cover the main places in town within one to two hours. Good to find dried fish.

I stay during my business trips and they always have event on their conference hall. The hall is convenient and big enough to hold event in Tawau.
It is a stop over town for travelers going to holidays on surrounding island like Sipadan, Pom Pom Island, Mabul Island and many more Island resorts around Sempoerna.
Visit the fishmarket (pasar tanjung). There you can get plenty of items to bring back home. apart from that, dont think there is anything much in the town.
Spent time for yam char, dinner and walk around in new township area, visit central market to buy local products.
A very peaceful town with mountain & sea surrounding, lots of boutique hotel with reasonable price & breakfast including which i'm strongly recommend " Shervinton Boutique Hotel " to all business traveller like me.
Not much can tell about this city as I only transit here to Sempurna but I really like the sea food here.
tawau nestled at the border between malaysia and indonesia and it should be an interesting spot for travellers who like to visit our next door neighbour indonesia, about 15 minutes boat ride?
There is not much worthwhile to see or do for tourists in Tawau. If you have to stay there before or after a tour, do so for one night only & move on.
some very good seafood restaurants in this town. A good market to get fresh fish and other sea products.
Tawau is small, food is expensive and less choice. Hope next time when i go there again, its was changes alot.
Only stayed here for a night after our dive trip, found the place quite dirty and run down with lots of rats around the market area where vendors were selling their food.
Tawau is an airport city, nothing to do or see here. Only stay here if you are catching a flight. Remember all the hotels are about 30 minutes from the airport.
This is a very small town, rich in seafood and three lovely golf courses. Two hours away by road and sea brings you to some great islands for scuba diving and snokerling.

Great place, Service is good
Woke up in the morning we were so happy to see the view of Tawau Town which we can see the sea view from our windows.

Room is quite clean, compared to may other hotels in Tawau.
The best thing about this room is the bed.
