Perfect Stay in Kota Kinabalu”

I spent the New Year in Skypod and I'm glad I did. The staff are extremely nice, engaging, funny, and will try their best to accommodate your needs. And this was the best part of my stay because I met really good people. They - Callvya, Farah, Pricilla, Nor, and Chichi - really know how to make you feel at home. As for the hostel, this was actually the first time for me to try shared accommodations and it was a very good experience for me. I particularly liked the "pod" setup versus bunks because the pods provided a sense of privacy. The showers and toilets are clean, and they keep it clean always. I also liked the common area/ breakfast area because the area is so cozy you would really like to hang out and read a book, or watch TV or mingle with the other guests. Also a plus, WIFI is available, free, and the signal is strong. I can even use it in the room. Breakfast is ok - tea, coffee, or milo and bread with choice of margarine, jam, kaya, peanut butter spreads, and fruit (banana or papaya). Sometimes they have extra like they served Nasi Lemak. So for the money you paid for everything, it's actually good value. The only thing that's a little bit a downer is that it's far away from the CBD. BUT they offer FREE shuttle everyday from the hostel to the CBD. You just have to sign up on what time to leave the hostel and what time for pickup in the CBD. They also do airport transports which are cheaper than the cabs. They will give you discount when you book airport transports to and from the airport, so request that when you book. And you can let them also arrange tours for you which is also cheaper because you get discounted as well. So overall, Skypod Hostel made my stay in KK a really good one. I will stay here again when I finally climb Mt. Kinabalu. And of course, I'll book my climb tour with them as well. Keep it up guys!

Feel at home”

This hostel was so at home , staff are friendly and caring us alot.I stayed 3 hostel in Kota kinabalu, among of this 3 hostels, the best comfortable hostel for us is here in skypod, even though this hostel location is bit far from center of city compare other hostels.Breakfast provided Bread, flied noodle or fried rice at this time(we stayed 2nights).Those are good points to choose to eat, because my partner custom doesn' t eat rice in the morning, so it really helps him.(Another hostel's breakfast was no choice and only Rice)24h coffee, tea, water, hotwater provided.Relax space for watching movie,.checking tour, sofa, table, card games, books.So rainy night, we watched enjoying movie coz hard to go out.If you want to relax trip we recomend here.They can arrange tour too.They are really welcoming to guests,welcoming card and wrote down for our name on the wall.with fashionable drawing too. Recamed to stay here for seeking relax traveler.

Great stay.Great STAFF!”

My first day in Kota Kinabalu was totally terrible, it was because Malaysia Airlines left all my luggage in Kuala Lumpur. But when I arrived at Skypod Hotel, ALL the staff including the owner, were all very warm and accommodating. I highly recommend this hostel apart from the fact that it's really cheap, you'll have a great time for sure because of their staff. One thing that I think they just need to improve is their Wifi. All the rest, was all great! Thanks Skypod!

Affordable, safe, clean and homey feel”

I had an absolutely amazing stay at Skypod. The place is always clean, safe environment, working facilities, good basic breakfast for people on the go and the best friendliest staff ever.. I was hesitant at first to book a hostel cause its my first time sharing a room with other people while traveling.. But it turns out its the best decision I've made ever.. You just feel at home all throughout your stay.. I will definitely stay in Skypod next time I visit KK whether I'm on a tight budget or not.. Working hot and cold showers, ac in the room, private beds which are always clean, lockers, unlimited coffee, recreation area, pantry and fridge.. Basic, functional, tidy and wonderful people.. It's a home away from home.. What else do you need? Skypod is just great.. There is nothing else to say :-)

perfect ”

this is mu second time here. should be arrove at 28th and out by 1st march but i have to postponed it on 2nd because i couldn't make it ok 28th for my trips so i call skypod hotel reception by letting them know is it possible to change the date? and they said no problem at all and the staff really understanding. arrived there around early evening we check in, and was greet by gary tuen front desk receptionist. he was so nice, and let us know all the facilities there are ready for us to use. he guide us our room and bed which perfectly neat and comfy. the hot shower was nice, we also used the washing machine for free! just that you need to buy a RM2 detergent powder at the front desk which i don't mind at all. the breakfast is really nice too. they provide local kueh mueh, fried kueh tiaw, and eggs. not to mention free flow of coffee! i would like to come again next time, i really love the atmosphere here. thank you skypod!

I'll be BACK !”

The staffs were really really friendly and helpful. The bed was clean, cozy, comfortable and spacious enough to avoid one from feeling claustrophobic. Got the bottom tier of the bunk, for that I'm thankful ! Great location! Good coffee for free 24/7. Unlimited water purifier! Hairdryer, towel, soap & iron foc. Huge Walls for you to doodle away, read messages from previous tenants & leave your mark-FUN! Simple breakfast. The shower area was the only factor I wasn't too pleased with-low water pressure and maintenance of cleanliness of bathrroms. The bathrooms were clean on the first day but slowly began to stink and flooring of the bathrooms began to feel algae-like. Not very pleasant. Nevertheless, I will be back to Skypod if I ever were to visit KK again! It is really value for money! Would definitely recommend Skypod to family & friends! I just hope Skypod will improve their bathroom cleanliness.

Exceptional”

I was with my cousin and she told me that she'll come back in Kota Kinabalu for just Skypod. It's our first time staying in this kind of accommodation. We enjoyed it so much. The staffs are very helpful. The place is clean. Great value for money indeed.

Excellent stay”

We loved our stay at the skypod hostel. The place is brand new, extremely clean and has great facilities for people to use. There is also a nice restaurant close by. Staff are fantastic and can't do enough to help! The only issue is it is quite far out of the city, however a shuttle is provided to take you into the city and once you find the bus stop to get back its no problem! It's a great place to relax and unwind!!

Exceptional”

One of the most amazing hostel I’ve been. Breakfast is amazing, the shower is well equipped, bed is amazing. The toilet is a bit too small for a big sized person btw but it is always clean. Overall, Skypod hostel is an extraordinary comfortable place to stay. Makes you feel like home. Oh, and I stayed here for 2weeks.

Thumbs Up!”

I stayed our Skypod twice, both for extended periods of time. The staff members are friendly and approachable. The facility is always kept clean,which I thoroughly appreciated. The breakfast was different every day and the lounge/TV area is spacious enough to complete your morning workouts. The Wifi is a bit inconsistent, but that's the standard for many places in Malaysia. The location of the hostel is a bit of a walk from the center, yet it's walk-able. It's also really close to IMAGO mall. I would definitely stay at SKypod again when I return to KK. Thank you SKYPOD staff for making my stay extra special. I hope to see you again!

clean and tidy”

I like the concept Skypod Hostel. Very modern and suitable for youngsters to stay here and those who on budget. Free breakfast provided. But please take note, that the location is not really at the centre of city. It takes around 10-15 mins by car to reach the KK city. But near to 1 Borneo shopping mall and Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Recommend this place to all of you.

It was sooooooo good!!!♥”

I made the reservation here in the skypod hostel for 3 nights. Every staff was very kind to everyone and I felt really comfortable like home for the clean environment and their consideration. I am so gratitude for giving me the proper medicine when I was sick. and one more, you can eat any fruit whenever you want to eat. :)

Skypod was excellent!”

The very best aspect of Skypod was the marvelous staff. I had a long stay at the hostel (8 days), and they were always very helpful and thoughtful in their service to the guests. I would recommend Skypod to anyone traveling to KK as a wonderful budget option that still has quick access to the downtown area.

Best Hostel in KK!”

Though I dont have any comparison to any other hostel around KK, but with the value for money and great service that Skypod provides, I dont think any hostel could top that. Not only that all of their staff are accommodating, friendly and attentive, all of their facilities are in good condition and the place is always clean. I super love staying in this hostel!

Best stay ever”

Everything was perfect, the Skypod Hostel management team deserve a pat on the back, well done guys. Absolutely enjoyed my stay. Way better beyond my expectation. Perhaps price is too low for such great standards.

Thanks a lot♥♥♥”

Hi~♥ I am at the airport. Grab didn't work. No Taxi around there. So one of step working in the skypod hostel helped us. She went out far to catch a taxi. And every steps helped to move our baggages. Without their help, I would be lost my flight. Thanks for everything. Love you~♥

Amazing place. Will definitely be back.”

Aside from the value for money, Skypod Hostel is a place with warm and friendly staff and fellow travelers. The facilities and toiletries provided made it feel like staying at home, and whatever was not provided was available for sale at the front counter.

very good accommodation here ”

Very good accommodation for 4 days here ,the staff was very friendly and easy going , the pod room space was very roomy and comfortable,skypod hostel kind of remind me Grafton Hostel in Auckland newzealand,
