Overview
Sky Hotel doesn't operate like a conventional hotel — its 80-100 units are serviced apartments with kitchens, which makes it an outlier worth understanding before you book expecting a standard room.
Rooms
80-100 serviced apartment-style suites, studio to 3-bedroom (up to 131 sqm), sleeping up to 8 — each with a kitchen/kitchenette, not a standard hotel room layout.
Does Sky Hotel have a pool?
Yes — Kota Kinabalu's highest rooftop infinity pool, plus a children's wading pool.
Dining
Green Table — an in-house vegetarian restaurant serving buffet breakfast and a la carte lunch/dinner (health-focused, not general cuisine). Sky Lounge on the top floor for drinks with skyline views.
What guests consistently say
Families are the dominant theme in reviews — guests specifically mention their kids loving the rooftop pool and gym, and the apartment format works well for groups splitting a 3-bedroom unit. Value for money comes up repeatedly relative to the amenity level offered. On the downside, a subset of reviews describe inconsistent housekeeping standards, including reports of cleanliness issues in individual units, which is worth weighing against the otherwise strong value proposition.
Who this hotel suits
Good fit for families or groups who want kitchen facilities and don't mind a vegetarian-only in-house restaurant, and who value the highest rooftop pool in the city.
Skip if you specifically want meat/seafood dining on-site, or if consistent housekeeping standards are a priority — check recent reviews for your specific dates.
