Best Two Star Hotels in Semporna

While Pacific Inn served its purpose for a night, I might explore other options when returning from Mabul. The rooms at Pacific Inn are compact but quiet, clean, and reasonably well-equipped. The air conditioning works well, and the WiFi is reliable.

Booked this Inn2 because I couldn’t see any commitments on Sipadan Inn 3 or 1. It was okay for overnight. The first time I stayed there, it was a normal small room with window facing the street. However, when I checked in again a week later I got a room in the middle without window, even though I booked the same queen room. The location is not great, Inn 3 and 1 are at better spots in the small seafront town, easier to reach than Inn 2. Among the three, Inn 3 is the newest and, after a visit, I noticed it has better rooms with better facilities. Had WiFi in room at Inn 2, the bed was very basic and sheets not crispy clean, the shower was okay as well as the air conditioning. Semporna is a tiny town with most places within walking distance, though the narrow, car-lined streets are not that clean or tidy to walk through, especially if you carry luggage. From what I heard from other travelers, very basic facilities wherever you stay, so lower your expectations then probably all good.

Booked through Agoda , roughly rm75++ per person per night which include breakfast, just no soundproof, we stayed at 3rd floor , can hear the band singing at night , and in the morning cat meow , loud music blasting . Breakfast selection ok , we joined the day trip tour by this hotel , rm263 per person for 2 days island hopping which is mabul & kapalai, the other day is bohey dulang , mantabuan island and sibuan island , the tour guides cum divers were helpful which was udin and nasim, the other day guide hutam was good 👍🏻 except one janggut guide was so into himself traveling and never really take care of us . So depends on which guide you have on your boat to take you around for day trip .. overall ok for 3 nights stay , got elevator , water bottle , travel shampoo

I didn’t really stay at this hotel but paid a visit when I was in town. The staff there were very friendly and showed me a couple of rooms as I requested. It is definitely in better condition than the Inn2 I stayed in. It is the newest among the three Sipadan Inns, at a better location, especially if you go to Mabul with Scuba Junkie, very close to their office and their jetty. Thought to let travelers know as I didn’t see any comment when booking hotels in Semporna. It is a tiny seafront town, everything close by but those narrow, car-lined streets are not that easy to walk through if you carry luggage on a hot day.

At first glance, I feel that the homestay is not very good, but after staying, it feels great, very warm, and very warm. It is a caring homestay with a clean and quiet environment. There is no shortage of restaurants around. The yard is breezy during the day and the flowers are scented at night. Behind the center of the sea, I feel that the tropical rain forest is the right choice. The handsome and handsome manager speaks Cantonese. The hotel also has two fixed-point vehicles to pick up and drop off to the town center. Breakfast is different for three days. The free afternoon tea is simple, but delicious. The room Not big and clean. The first time I went to Semporna, I only booked a room. It turns out that the tropical rain forest can also be booked for a day trip to island hopping. Compared with the Internet, the site will be similar to the online booking. So I booked three islands for a day. I thought it was with other people. After joining the group, we found that it was a group of 4 of us, and three of us served us. Among them, diving guides and professional underwater photography of the thin brother Big Fei from the fat world, regardless of snorkeling and snorkeling, all followed to help take pictures, and the little black brother pulled it. The lifebuoy is always taken to watch the underwater world, and the service is extremely considerate. The next day, I reported the deep diving experience to the child. Fortunately, I haven't booked an island hopping tour online before. When booking on the spot, Brother Dafei will patiently explain to us how to play. Summarizing the tropical rain forest, I booked a homestay for two more days.

It's a perfect budget hotel. Location wise, excellent. Its smack in the center of everything:dives hops, restaurants, pharmacy, Gmart. Room wise, yes it's old, aircon takes time to cool the room. But toilet functions, the hot shower functions well. They also have a hair dryer. Towels, toothbrush, soap and shampoo provided. Wifi was fast. Bed was comfy. Perfect for fussfree divers who just need a place to sleep and rest 😊

advantage: 1. The resort environment is very good. Compared with the stinky atmosphere in the town, it is really much better; 2. The vegetation in the yard is very good, the flowers are blooming beautifully, and you will be awakened by the wonderful chirping of birds in the morning. 3. There are recommendations for island hopping tours, and the prices are very reasonable. If you get up early, you will be helped to deliver them to the pier, which is very considerate; Disadvantages: 1. After 12 o'clock in the night, someone always provokes a group of dogs to suddenly start fighting and barking, waking up people in their sleep☹️ 2. At 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning and after midnight, there are always people riding motorcycles, rumbling past the ground. When you should be sleeping peacefully, there is a sudden loud noise and you wake up, which is not good for sleep. The people are very unfriendly; 3. There is no restaurant in the resort. You have to go to the town to eat. Although there is a shuttle bus to the town, there is no return bus at 6:30 pm. If you go to the town at 4:30 pm and want to take a bus back to the resort, you can It was inconvenient to wait until 8:30, so we basically took a taxi back to the hotel by ourselves.

We spent one night at Luna Capsule before heading to Mabul island. In terms of rooms: Two of us went for the double room and the other two originally had booked the dorm. Upon arrival we noted the following things; - the dorm is near the reception and is a really small room. It's like a small room with on both sides bunk beds. Only plus I could mention is the fact that the bunk beds got a curtain each. Furthermore, the dorm is really close to the reception. If you want to have a decent night of sleep this is obviously not the best option. For this reason, the two persons we travelled with changed their booking to a double room. - the double rooms felt like hotel rooms: clean, decent bed, brand new ac, and a modern bathroom with rain shower. During the day, construction work was going on, making us believe that the top floor was recently renovated. The construction work did not commence extremely early and stopped before 6pm, meaning that you will not suffer from noise issues. What is good to know is that the double rooms are located on the top floor. The reception with the dorm is located on ground floor. The staircase to the top floor however does not start at the reception ground floor. Instead, you have to walk around the corner, pass a gate, go up, scan your room pass, and enter the top floor. In other words, to get from and to the reception, one has to go outside. In general this was fine. You however do not want to to this at night; Semporna really is not the richest, cleanest and therefore safest of places. In terms of the rest: - Reception staff is not overly accommodating or friendly. However, if you e.g. have a request to make use of their laptop to transfer photos from a SD card, they will not refuse. - Breakfast is a joke. Just go around the corner and have breakfast at a public space. - Location wise, Luna Capsule is located about 1km from the Semporna jetty. During the day you can walk this. As already mentioned before, Semporna is not the cleanest and does not feel like the safest place on earth. Therefore, during night time I would take a Grab back to the hotel. - Price of what you get is fine. It's not as cheap compared to the rest of Borneo, but this seems to hold for all the accommodations in Semporna. If you want to have a clean, modern and relatively safe place to sleep, e.g. for a few nights, Luna Capsule is fine. - If you want to have dinner at an OK place on walking distance (almost same block) from Luna Capsule, I would recommend Summer breeze cafe.

This hostel is located very strategic and all the restaurant, pharmacy, mini market,etc is within the walking distance. The room was clean. It has hot shower, A/C, amenities, coffee and tea as well. It comes with drinking water too. Room not too big but not too small as well. The hostel doesn't have a lift. It has a common area for people to hang out and have some coffee and tea. The staff was superb. Her name is Fadilah if I got her right. She returned back my wallet which I lost it and she found it at the front door of the hostel. She saved my day. I must give her a two thumbs up for this. The wallet was returned to be as it was before it was drop at the front door table. Thank you Fadilah. This will be my next hostel whenever I will come to Semporna. It has dorm as well with cheaper price.
