Best hotels & accommodations in Lahad Datu

We stayed as a couple here for one night, for a compulsory stay before embarking on a weeklong rainforest lodge trip. The Inn has all the basic amenities and is clean (not sparkling or new) but sufficient, considering we are in Lahad Datu. Pros: The air con is cold, the water pressure is strong with steady hot water, there are clean towels and fair breakfast variety, l...

First time in Lahad Datu, the hotel is located at old town area, but is near to where our working place. The hotel looks old but we are surprised that the staffs here are really friendly and gave us a lot of suggestions as where to get nice food and transport. Very happy with the internet speed, the air-conditioner was working great and the room I booked (2 single beds...

Internet can be variable, but the staff is great with calling taxis, laundry, bookings, etc. It's really the only place worth staying in Lahad Datu. Restaurant is passable. I haven't tried the western food; they were limited to the Ramadan dinner when I was there, but that was rally quite good.

We arrived with the bus 3 am. We wrote to the manager before leaving, and they told us that the reception was open 24/7. We came to a very spooky street and found the place with a lock on the door. We tried to call the number on the gate but no one answered. We had to book a night on a nearby hotel to avoid sitting on the street while waiting. We came to the hostel the...

Right near the centre of the town, with some good food nearby (even 24 hours). The staff are friendly, however they have limited English so make sure if you are being transferred you have their number or determine if you will meet in the lobby (downstairs) or at the street level. Was good and exactly what we needed - a place to await transfer to Danum Valley.

Pros 1. Privacy place but still near to restaurant, mosque,market and supermarket 2. The staff is very friendly 3. Got fox movies channel in tv eventhough the tv is old, but still can b use Cons - can't expect much, it is just a small town, as we all know. It is lahad datu. At least still got hotel , market n food then it is just perfect

Traveler impressions of Lahad Datu
This was one of the dirtiest towns i have ever been to and i will never return - there is nothing there except rubbish - unfortunately we had to stop over there but would not recommend
nothing special in Lahad Datu but if you are travelling in Sabah you are forced to go there. Nice park with jungle around.

I book a standard single room for one night after 5 pm on same day, and I arrived there at 9pm (after driving about 200km from sandakan to lahad datu). When I informed the front desk worker that I already booked a room through agoda, he immediately make a fuss because I didn't inform that I will be arriving late. I told him that I already put a note during my booking ...
