OYO 90576 Holiday Dive Inn

I live and work in the area but sometimes I need to sleep in Semporna (I try to avoid it as much as possible). The hotel is basic and clean, spacious room compared to Sipadan Inn, but smaller than Seafest (any of them). AC working, hot shower working although not much pressure. Internet had not function during my stay at all, the TV did not work. Overall I found it overpriced when but better (bigger room) than Sipadan inn, although I happily pay the extra U$4 and sleep in Seafest.

Booked into the Holiday Dive Inn as a part of the diving package with Sipadan Scuba. The Inn is fairly priced and is located in a convenient location as well, with grocery stores and marts about 100m away. The rooms are well maintained accompanied by a decent daily room service. Most of the divers with Sipadan Scuba stay with Holiday Dive Inn and is recommended for solo travellers looking to meet interesting people.

No frills, but clean rooms, hot water and A/C (though a bit noisy). Internet works intermittently. Friendly staff. The town itself is a stinking hole (no other way to describe it), but the food is good and if you come for the diving, it's definitely worth the trip! Please dive responsibly, one can already see the impact tourism has had on the environment!

We had originally booked a different hotel and had a walk around the area before checking in. The room was clean and bathroom as expected for the price. OK value and fine for one night, though there was some road noise in the middle of the night that was not ideal! The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Stayed three nights as part of the Sipadan package. Was expecting much worse (based on reviews here) but our king 'balcony' room was clean, spacious, with a comfy bed, working tv and zero roaches. Room turned down every day, bathroom a little small but shower pressure fine and Wi-Fi a little weak but good enough for social media, emails etc. More than acceptable accommodation for two superb days diving in Sipadan.

Let's be honest, Semporna is a grubby little town. It looks like it hasn't had any local love in many a year. The hotels and restaurants feel the same. Everything feels tired and worn out. The room was OK. The aircon functioned, the bed was flat, and the toilet and shower did their job. It just ain't a place to relax in. Even between dive days. There is a chill out area between the two blocks but it has a plastic red roof and inadequate fans. Therefore the light is uncomfortable and it is sweltering hot. Wifi worked sporadically. We stayed here as part of a dive package with Sipadan Scuba. Staff were great though!

First of all, it is good to know that you don't go to Semporna to enjoy the city itself. This is good for diving only. Holiday dive Inn is very basic. We arrived and asked the staff to remove the cockroach. Except this the room was decently clean. Bedsheets and towels are not neat at all but whatever is on it has been washed, so it is clean dirt! AC was welcome. Shower was not hot and flowing extremely slowly. Can be extremely noisy at some nights. Good to sleep and spend the day diving

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst scuba diving. Reasonably priced, perfectly clean, quiet and it had adequate facilities. AC worked fine and reception dealt with our simple requests in a friendly and efficient manner. Lockers are outside the room, but that wasn't a bother. Would stay here again without hesitation. Found it to be one of the cheaper options when scouting. Great location too - very near all the action.

Stay there for 5D4N. Basic room with hot shower, aircond, TV, kettle i.e basic things that you really need :-) The room was serviced everyday, comfortable bed. Convenient location, nearby to waterfront & eating place. Friendly & helpful staff. If you need an airport transfer, just inform them, they'll arrange it for you. Choose the room with balcony

Basic room. The aircon is alright. Wi-fi is weak. No safety box, but you can hire a locker downstairs at the lobby, just talk to the receptionist. One thing I dont like about here, is their shower is terrible, the shower water pressure is very low! You hardly can wash your hair if you got long hair.
