Sky Hotel Kota Kinabalu

Good price fails to justify the awful ambience and condition. Needs refurbishing and a couple of free toothbrushes do no

Liked Staff friendly. Good price. Stored luggage safely. Good toiletries.

Disliked Although we only paid a low fee, it still fell very short of a 4* hotel in terms of decor, cleanliness and condition. Mucky, stained sheets, damaged room fittings and horrid upholstery. Simply not a very nice place to stay if you like things to be neat and tidy and clean.

Not worth the money

Liked It's close to the airport and room size is adequate.

Disliked My room was completely outdated and needed urgent renovation. Furniture was chipped and damaged. The window was broken and couldn't be closed at all. There was significant water damage on the wall in the bedroom underneath the aircon and the floor. The kitchen stated it was fully equipped but the utensils were sparse, dirty and there were no plates or bowls. There was mould in the bathroom and the doors are water damaged as well. They gave the room a quick wipe but it wasn't clean. I booked it as it was close to the airport and I wanted to use the pool. The pool was closed due to an event. I specifically asked the reception staff twice but they insisted I can use the pool but as soon as I arrived at the pool area the staff over there sent me away. The pool looked way smaller than in the photos anyway and not clean. After I confronted the staff at reception again and asked for at least a free meal at the restaurant they insisted I can use the pool later, or tomorrow and they will take to the manager and will get back to me. They simply sent me to my room and asked me to wait for their call as they are busy with other guests checking in. I felt like a child that did something wrong.

Liked I like the hotel because its located center of the city

Disliked I wont say i didnt like but just little bit improvement about the limitation used of wifi.

Very convenient, would definitely return

Liked Sky Hotel, Kota Kinabalu After researching accommodation in Kota Kinabalu, I came across this hotel. We were travelling around Sabah for 26 days and needed a comfortable base with a pool and breakfast included. We stayed here for 4 nights on arrival, returned for 1 night mid-trip, and finished with another 2 nights before flying home. It worked perfectly as a base throughout our journey. The location is very convenient — close to the airport and within easy reach of the waterfront, making it simple to get around. The hotel mainly caters to Malaysian guests, which we really appreciated as we weren’t looking for a typical Western tourist spot. It gave the stay a more local, authentic feel. Pricing was very good for what you get. Rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Breakfast exceeded expectations with a good variety each morning, and the rooftop pool was a highlight — offering great views over the city and towards the airport, especially at sunset. Overall, it was exactly what we needed: a comfortable, well-located, good-value hotel that worked perfectly as a base while travelling around Sabah.

Disliked Didn’t like the way they charged us for an extra blanket, thought this should have been complimentary. Had to complain about a dirty sink, towel and hairs on the toilet in our 3rd return. No problem, I complained and it was seen to immediately

Closer to 2 star than 4 star. Very shabby. Reception staff not very nice. Very run down. Pictures on site do not represe

Liked Very little. Very spacious room. That’s it.

Disliked Shabby, run down, hard beds, no sun beds, poor breakfast….

the best location ever

Liked breakfast, room and location

Disliked nothing, all okay
