    A very tranquil stay”

    We had a very pleasant stay. Except for the steep (and fortunately short) uphill drive, reaching Skyville using google maps was easy. Checking-in & out was a breeze. The staff were helpful & courteous. The rooms were all tidy & clean and the surroundings serene - we enjoyed a nice walk around the surrounding area. If the wi-fi service could be improved, that would certainly be a plus. There were ample umbrellas ready for guests, which was a very kind & considerate gesture - much appreciated as it was a very wet season.

    1. For those who privacy is their top priority, this place is a good choice. 2. Suitable for small family, with affordable price. 3. Outside landscape is a bit out, however, cleanliness inside the room is tip top! 4. Already checked in to many hotel/homestay in kundasang, so far this hotel got the most excellent water heater. Trust me! 5. For those who want a clear view of the mount Kinabalu, this place is not a great choice. But the weather is still cool la. 6. The owner and staf was really humble and friendly. 7. Extra tips, if you want a cheaper price, direct call the office.

    If you're looking for a clean room and comfortable bed near to the entrance of Kinabalu National Park, Skyville Zen offers decent rooms at a good rate compared to other places that are overinflated. The location was tranquil although missing a Mt Kinabalu view. It would be nicer to enjoy the outdoor area if there were some proper comfortable chairs with back rests so one could sit outside and enjoy the natural environment which is the reason for staying in Kundasang! Overall good value for money and if you don't mind not having the view, it's a decent clean option.
