Reviews for Sky Hotel
Review 1:Super puffed up pillows, we all just slept on towel made pillows. shuttle does leave on time
Review 2:Clean room, great view on pool deck. Pity there was a function there couldn't swim
Review 3:Staff is not helpful. We told them one day before that we would leave hotel early in the morning and would like have our breakfast packed, but they forgot, and in the next morning, they couldn't find any packing boxes so we had to use plastic bags. And they couldn't tell much information, instead they recommend the trip of their own hotel which is far more expensive than normal. The location is close to the airport but far away from the touring centre.
Review 4:close to airport, friendly staff, clean rooms
Review 5:This hotel should not even be called a hotel. We arrived after midnight, to find not enough towels, and that housekeeping has closed. What kind of hotel does not have housekeeping 24 hours. The next day, we came backafter lunch only to find that our room was not cleaned. We were told by the staff that normally they don't clean the rooms because we've only just checked in the day before. We were also told that this is a common policy shared with all hotels in the world, which was really weird as I have stayed in many hotels and I've never encountered this policy. Do note that Rooms were all smoking rooms so there is that smell in the room. Carpet in the hallways were dank and dirty (literally, you can see the stains all over). Please also note that they do not have towels in the pool and that extra towels need to be requested to housekeeping. Towels all smell of mold! The pool is tiny and dirty! There were two lounge chairs, and one was broken! This is seriously the worst hotel ive ever stayed in. Location is bad, not walking distance to anywhere.
Review 6:Mr. Kuan the general manager, who at the last minute helped us to arrange transportation.
Review 7:if could have reserve the parking for me that would be nice...and the way between parking is too narrow
Review 8:the facilities is quite accomplish... the staff is friendly.. the room is clean everyday~
Review 9:Location is a bit remote. Needs to take taxi to go anywhere
Review 10:The room is big and clean. Perfect for big family. Breakfast is also good. Very comfortable stay.
Review 11:Wifi never worked, location is not too good, staff (1 young male) atthe reception was rude, unhelpful, he lied and most probably madefraudulent transactions through our Visa card details. Luckily I foundout and anz won't proceed the transactions. I wouldn't go toSky Hotel again.
Review 12:Spacious rooms, rooftop swimming pool, gym with a great view.
Review 13:We had booked for a 3 bedroom premier apartment which we couldn't use so had to have a delux double which we weren't very happy with but were so tired we just agreed but would have been nice to have a premier room which we had paid for. Beds were like rocks very uncomfortable unless you like hard bed lol
Review 14:Modern hotel , 5 minute walk to the epi epi centre and waterfront but it was far to hot to walk and costs about 20myr to get a taxi . Rooms were clean and lovely decorated. Room loft pool was lovely :-)
Review 15:The breakfast wasn't really good. Limited choice. Food not topped up. Service was a bit lax.
Review 16:I liked the self catering option It was close to the airport Not too far from town Nice and clean
Review 17:Pillows were huge and uncomfortable, bed had bed bugs.. I Needed to see a doctor after staying 2 nights I had bites all over me. Internet week - I need to access my work from abroad and this was the worst internet ever.
Review 18:Nothing
Review 19:Orgiinal, the hotel has shuttle bus service to downtown three times on each day. However, their staff told me that the car is under repairig such that no shuttle service provided. At last, they transport us to downtown by their car and charge us RM20.
Review 20:Hotel is rather new. Room is very clean. Breakfast is varied. Service of check-in amd check-out is quick. Walking to downtown is about 15 - 20 mins.
Review 21:Although the hotel room has a possibility for cooking, there are no necessary pots / pans to do that. Also no plates and cutlery.
Review 22:View from the swimming pool is fantastic. Near to a new department store. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Review 23:Location is not close to the beach and you have to take a taxi to the city centre. Alcohol is expensive
Review 24:Hotel is clean, rooftop pool and gym. Staff is friendly
Review 25:Breakfast only start at 0730 hours (late for guest like me when daylight is 0600 hours and most meetings are at 0800 hours some distance away when taking into consideration of the terrible traffic!) and even the breakfast spread is 'horrible' when compared with other similar hotel of same rating. The reception for check in took ages and have to wait some 20 mins when all details are already in the system. As a business traveller maybe the last time I will patronize the hotel as I have others to chose from!
Review 26:Room is clean and decent
Review 27:I was upgraded to a 2-bedroom suite, so I actually got more than what I paid for. The hotel is brand new and good design and layout. No frills and no special luxury, but all one would need to get from an hotel stay. Highly recommended.
Review 28:bed is quite stiff and so does the pillow. flooding from the shared toilet. but its not a big deal :)
Review 29:location is easy to spot on. the 3 bedroom apartment is very spacious and clean.
Review 30:Slightly far out of the city...20 mins walk to main area over a large road.
Review 31:Rooftop pool / bar / gym with incredible sunset views. Large clean suite, attentive staff. One of the best buffet breakfasts I've ever had. Allowed us to store bags while we were on a trek.
Review 32:Room is clean but not very detail in minor and hiding areas. The toilet sink edge and corner are stuck with tooth paste. The used drinking glass and cup were not washed one day.
Review 33:The bed, pillows and duvet are terribly comfortable! Staff always wear a pleasant and smiling face. The free shuttle bus to city centre is a merit.
Review 34:Take a travel adapter. breakfast is a late start option only. Walls should NOT be plain white and carpet should not have stains.
Review 35:The location was very convenient for us. Close to supermarket, and walking distance to EVERYTHING while being safe and out of the crowded area.
Review 36:a few teething problems with delivery of meals to the rooftop area - many items were cold by the time they reached us. We spoke to the chef and he assured us that he would address this issue with his staff.
Review 37:Staff - super friendly and very eager to please. Facilities - great roof top pool Rooms - plenty of space to spread out in. Bathrooms are very modern and everything is very clean. Restaurant - wonderful vegetarian food, with plenty to choose from even if you are not vegetarian
Review 38:Only downside is no real views from rooms and not centrally located compared to older run down accomadation near the wharf/ market area.
Review 39:Appears to be new and staff were being trained.THey were extremely helpful and always trying to please. The rooms were new and well presented and wifi worked well. Roof top pool is a real bonus on hot steamy days. Well worth a stay at a reasonable price
Review 40:1) When we first arrived, the aircond seems not to be working & leaving us felt very hot, the toilet bowl was not properly clean. There's a hole on top of the shower area. 2) The breakfast is not much of choices and the staff seems not to know many things. getting an omelette is like forever. 3) The housekeeper did not provide a fresh towel for the whole family & floor mat for the toilet on the third day & we have to request for it but they gave us pool towels (how can a hotel run out of towels). 4) There's only one cloth cabinet which is in the master bedroom. They should provide more place to hang our clothes & other things. 5) They provide the kitchenette but there's no cooking utensils for us to cook/ heat up food & there's no plates & cutlery for us to use.
Review 41:Since we arrived in KK quite early & we reached Sky Hotel around 11 am, I'm very glad that we can immediately check in. I like that the apartment is spacious so it's sufficient for the whole family as there's nine of us. The bed & pillows are nice since they're still new. The staff are very attentive & helpful.
Review 42:1. The 1st room which was given was with bad smoking smell in the living room, and very bad smell which i couldn't describe in the toilet. I called receptionist for me to change room but i was told that they will send officer to my room to check before i could change the room. It took another 40mins but no one actually coming even i call again. In the end, it took almost 1 hour for me to change the room and the bad smell has totally spoiled our mood. 2. The variation of the buffet breakfast is quite limited and most of the food refilled very very slow which remained empty from the beginning i started until i finished my breakfast 3. Need to go to lobby for the parking ticket then to carpark everytime if wanted to enjoy the free parking service
Review 43:Price wise, this hotel is really worth to try
Review 44:*closed swimming pool & terrace (wedding party) *broken shuttle bus *long waiting for a taxii booked via reception - aprox. 25min
Review 45:clean room & comfortable bed
Review 46:Restaurant was vegetarian, and most of the menu was unavailable, therefore very limited choice.
Review 47:It wasn't a hotel room but a 2 bed apartment with lounge and kitchen, fantastic. Infinity pool and gym on the roof were ideal. Only 4 month old when we were there so still very new.
Review 48:A bit far off from town, the shutter bus only provide ONE-way service,according to the reception. The taxi that they called did not know hisway, and be prepared to pay more when you called for a taxi, no othertransport...If you are going to the gym at noon, be prepared to on theair-cond on your own, on the treadmill on your own.
Review 49:The space in the room. The bed is comfortable. Air-cond is good. Hotwater is good. Gym which has a good view. Pleasant breakfast.
Review 50:We stayed here for 5 days. Hotel is located 15 minute walk from centre. Some staff good but some weren't. Toilet seat was broke we were told it would be fixed and it wasn't. Rooms were nice but no utensils in the kitchen which was odd. Swimming pool was shut whilst we were there.
Review 51:The pillows were too hard. 2 bedroom apartment style with kitchen but there were no utensils or pots n pans to use on the induction cooker. The ironing board was worn out
Review 52:The hotel was new. Security good. Need key card to access floors. Vegetarian menu needs variety though. Spent 3 days there, variety of food n quality not that impressive
Review 53:Only vegetarian food available in the restaurant No hot water in the shower for my 2 day stay despite me changing rooms
Review 54:Comfortable bed Windows that open so not forced to use air conditioning 10 minutes walk to local markets and street food
Review 55:location is not convenient, no restaurant around it, and takes at least 15 minutes to walk to the down town.
Review 56:the room is very spacious and clean, modern decoration, nice bed and shower is comfort.

Review 58:Room - clean, new, very comfortable.

Review 60:its free parking, wifi, fast lift, clean n modern room, the gym n pool on the top floor was awsome with very nice view of airport the sea n the city.
Review 61:Management supervision could be stronger. We asked for the room to be cleaned in the morning. It was not when we came back in the evening. Breakfast was not fully ready at time. Pool area full of bottles and ashtrays from a party the night before.
Review 62:1.limited space for parking at the lobby 2.same dishes on breakfast throughout our stay 3.call to take the luggage at our room on the checkout time but did not turn up until we have to take the trolley on our own and pushed the trolley from our room to the lobby 4.no laundry service 5.housekeeping only up to office hours (limited time) as we arrived at about 12 am

Review 67:Quality of service was excellent, very helpful staff, location near enough to town to walk, far enough to have some peace from the noise, great breakfasts.
Review 68:They should at least provide some plates, fork and spoons if they wanted to provide a kitchenette in the first place as most people who choose to stay at apartment like this are family with children so they don't have to keep calling the hotel to send things up.
