My stay at the hotel was satisfactory. The room, with a slight smoke odor in the bathroom, was adequate, featuring essential amenities like air conditioning. The housekeeping staff was accommodating. However, the poor Wi-Fi reception was a drawback. The room felt like a small apartment with a convenient kitchenette, living room, and separate en-suite bedroom.

The hotel rooms were very well equipped, spacious, clean, and absolutely value for money, making it very suitable for big groups and families. However, it would have been better if they provided more than 3 bottles of water and 3 sets of cups since the room was for 6 people. The rooms were all smoking rooms located from the ground floor through to the 13th floor, split between Sky Hotels and Borneo Vista Suites.

Staying at this hotel was just what we needed - simple, comfortable rooms with all the necessary kitchen appliances.

I stayed at this hotel near KK Imago shopping mall and found the rooms very nice, each with 2 bedrooms, a kitchenette, a living room, and a separate en-suite bedroom. The service was lacking in terms of training and knowledge but they could arrange great trips within Borneo. The location was convenient near the mall and city center with free parking, but lacking in comfortable sun loungers. The dining experience was not up to par, offering limited options and oily noodles. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is very family-friendly and suitable for big groups, offering spacious 2-bedroom suites. The complimentary breakfast at the ground floor restaurant Green Table provided a good start to the day, but more water and tea bags would have been appreciated. Service was a bit slow at times, but Mr Gerard was exceptionally friendly and competent. The location was not the best but acceptable for the price. Dining options were varied, although self-service was required. Overall, a comfortable stay with positive and negative aspects.

I woke up to an amazing view of Mt Kinabalu in the morning from my well-appointed room. The room was spacious and required the room card for access to the unit on the 13th floor, where one side of the rooms faced Sky Hotels and the other side faced Borneo Vista Suites. The location wasn't ideal for families, but given the price, it wasn't too bad, especially considering its proximity to the new Imago luxury goods mall and walking distance to the waterfront. The dining experience was a letdown with minimal food options, but the scrambled eggs were decent. The hotel staff were quick to respond to an emergency situation and were friendly and attentive, particularly the guys managing the free shuttle service. The hotel had standard facilities that met my needs during the stay.

Staying at Borneo Vista Suites was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and came at a nice price, featuring a separate single bed. The pool on the top floor was definitely worth a visit, and we even used it for meetings. The service was fairly courteous and helpful, although a bit slow during check-in and check-out. The location was convenient, within walking distance to the waterfront and near town, but might not be ideal for tourists without their own transport. The dining experience offered a variety of options, from a vegetarian breakfast to a selection of 'western' breakfasts. The facilities were satisfactory, making our stay comfortable.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a kitchenette and separate en-suite bedroom, but they take a while to cool down after switching on the air-conditioners. The service is very supportive and even helped us move to a room with better reception. The location is near a big street and the waterfront, which was nice but not ideal without personal transport.
