Nice and good hotel to stay. Location is superb. Within town area and accessable to Jesselton pier and Phillipino Market (tourist attraction).
I believe hotel room is newly renovated, that make the room look newer.

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

Came here specifically for the 'Hilton' name, haha. When traveling, it's always better to stick with brands you're familiar with. The room was decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine. Breakfast had a good variety of options, and there was even a server who showed you to your table. As for the location, it's right next to a famous internet-famous restaurant, but as an introvert, I didn't bother waiting in line. Guess I'll save that for my next visit, haha.

Overall, our stay was very good – actually, better than expected! We had a lovely balcony with a nice view. The pool itself was nice – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Staff was helpful. After we checked out, we accidentally left some clothes in the washing machine, and they kindly recovered them for us. That kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference!
Downstairs, there are plenty of food options, so you’ll never go hungry.
I’d definitely recommend this place for couples or small families looking for a comfortable, well-located base. Great value for money.
Waiting for the boat at the pier, the staff member was really nice. He brought us chairs to sit on and even offered us water. Although I didn't catch his name, I really want to thank him!
Upon arrival, the front desk was already there to greet us. Honestly, if your English isn't great, communication on the island can be a bit challenging, for instance, regarding the shower water, Wi-Fi, or power outages. They explained everything in great detail, and the next day, they even followed up to ask about the hot water – they truly care about guest satisfaction. Oh, and they upgraded us to a high-floor villa! We encountered two geckos and a small snake in the room, but the kids weren't scared at all because they knew they were harmless creatures. A super-sized cockroach crawled out of the drain in the bathroom, haha, my child watched it for ages. To be honest, considering it's in the mountains, maintaining it to this standard is quite impressive. It was a great experience, far from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing us to enjoy the charm of the ocean and the forest.
We stayed in a high-floor villa and ordered room service for dinner. The delivery staff worked so hard, carrying the trays all the way to our room, and the food was still surprisingly hot, which really touched us. We gave them a small tip as a token of our appreciation for their efforts.
I am very satisfied with the room condition and the service from the staff here. The room is spacious and equipped with cooking facilities. I brought my child to stay here so they could enjoy the swimming pool. It turns out there are many shops downstairs as well, which is very convenient.

The hotel's public areas are nice, but there's no beach. If you're looking for a beach, you might want to consider other hotels. The rooms were a bit humid overall, but apparently, all hotels in Kota Kinabalu are like that. The service was pretty standard, nothing special, just like any other hotel. A convenient feature is that there's a jetty right at the hotel, which is great if you're heading to Mantanani Island, as it's very close.

This is our 3rd stay at Sky Hotel. We booked a 2-bedroom suite and checked in at night, but unfortunately the room was not clean. There was dust and powder on the sofa, the floor was sticky and dusty, some flooring was chipped, and there was an unpleasant smell.
We called reception to request a room change but were told the hotel was full. Housekeeping came to check and confirmed the room condition. We took some photos and went down to the reception counter, after discussingabout 10 minutes, the reception offered us an upgrade to a bigger suite, which was clean and much better.
Appreciate the staff for resolving the issue quickly, but the room cleanliness should be improved.

The room was quite spacious and the location was great, right in the city by the sea. There's a seafood market directly opposite. It's about a fifteen-minute walk to Gaya Street and very convenient to get to the pier. A taxi ride takes around ten minutes, and the airport is also quite close. The front desk was very responsive, and the breakfast was decent. I even caught a stunning sunset from the hotel rooftop!
Great

GGuest UserVery outdated design hotel but still comfortable to stay..the centralized aircond is not cold enough that we had to switch on the fan which was too windy because the fan speed not ajustable....the breakfast has lot variety but doesnt taste great...overall good stay.
GGuest UserI stayed at two places during my trip to Semporna. The Lighthouse was newly renovated and close to the jetty, which was very convenient. However, the soundproofing in the rooms was a big issue; I could clearly hear conversations from the next room. The other place, Yongda, was quite disappointing when I first entered the room. The decor was old, and the linens were worn out (though clean). But the service was good; the front desk staff could communicate perfectly in Chinese, and the breakfast suited Chinese palates. Dining and laundry facilities were also very convenient, offering great value for money.
PP3DD3R5Upon arrival we faced a few challenges with the room, but that was promptly resolved. The setting is just gorgeous, the amenities are just enough. Considering the difficulty in maintaining such a unique and remote place we were not upset when there was no hot water. A cold shower was just fine.
The food is quite filling, and as most people stay here for just one night, if you stay more it does get quite repetitive.
The pool is salt water, same temperature as the sea, nice and warm. The steps down to the ocean are just a dream, and sunbathing on the net feels like you are on a catamaran in the middle of the ocean with the gentle waves crashing. The resort provided life jackets and snorkels, we spent most time in the water snorkeling, nearby corals are filled with colourful fish. The resort also provided a variety of water activities such as canoo and board.
What we were disappointed with was that there was no tea of coffee in the morning, they advised they had run out, and we found that difficult to cope with as there isn't anywhere you can buy.
Drinks are paid seoeratily, they only provide a fruit squash.
Apart from that the staff were always helpful and smiling, in th evening there's also some entertainment with karaoke and dancing.
We saw a little fireworks display which made our night even more special. I would definitely stay here again, overall it was a wonderful experience spending time here, is just little things they could improve.
