What guests think

Sky Gem Hotel Sora places you in a very convenient District 1 location near Little Tokyo, bars, restaurants, and sights, but the immediate area is lively and can be noisy or feel a bit dodgy late at night.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, though there are occasional reports of slow or unhelpful responses and one serious dispute. Rooms are mixed: some are small, windowless or face an internal light well, with recurring maintenance issues (power outlets, fridges, locks), while a few bathrooms appear newly renovated. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with repeated comments about dust, musty or cigarette odors, pests, and housekeeping lapses, alongside some mentions of tidy spaces. Breakfast varies from tasty to poor, and facilities can be limited or under maintenance (pool/sauna unavailable, elevator outages, construction). Expect a central base with great access but potential noise and variable upkeep.

This is the worst service that in 20+ years traveling I have ever received. I got a confrmatiom with a picture of a room and they gave me a completely different one. When I showed them they said it was not their fault but hotels.com fault. I was coming from a long continental flight and asked the front desk to please fix it. The guy and the girl at front desk just wasted time, did not help and then the guy said to cancel that they would refund me. I booked a different hotel and they denied to have said that although there was a camera. They did not want to show the recording and the manager on the phone hanged up on me! I never got refunded!!! The property is way older than what it looks and staff is the worst I ever experienced…pool was not even accessible! A nightmare and they are very dishonest just to keep some extra money!

Nice hotel in the middle of District 1, however it is also in the middle of a lot of riff-raff. The coffee shop downstairs is an excellent place to have a coffee and watch the riff-raff go on by. It is also next to little tokyo and a short walk to a lot of other things nearby.

Bedroom booked had dodgy light switches that buzzed and crackled when used. Advertised with Swimming Pool, that wasn't the case though. 1 lift o/o/o during my stay, but it was Lunar New Years day, so I can see why it wasn't fixed! Staff were lovely, spoke better English than I hoped for and did everything to assist if called upon. Food from Breakfast to Evening meals were FANTASTIC and ive eaten in some great restuarants around the globe.

まずホテル名が実際のホテル名「Sky Gem Hotel Sora」とは異なるという大きなミスが問題だ。 grabやタクシーを使う場合にトラブルを引き起こす。設備は古く特にバスルームの設計が問題である。排水設計に問題があり、シャワーを浴びるとカーテンを使用しても確実にトイレ周りが水浸しになり非常に不愉快だった。シャワーのホットウォーターの温度が上がらずこれも不十分だった。最悪だったのは内装工事期間でありその告知は予約時にすべきだった。居室にまで入り込む溶剤の悪臭と廊下やレストランまで真っ白な砂埃が部屋中に舞っていて最悪だった。

Hotel is nice downstairs and food is okay. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Location wise it’s great for city trips and right opposite the night life/restaurant area. We fancied an early night one night (2300) but literally struggled to sleep till 0200 until the noise outside quietened down (traffic noise mainly, mopeds beeping constantly etc). Not the hotels fault at all and they did their best to move us to a quieter room so I take the blame for not researching better. Facilities wise it lacked in February, early season but the pool was empty and the sauna shut.

タイバンルン界隈のホテルはよく泊まりますが、ここは初めてでした。今回1週間滞在しました。ホテルの造りは2棟を1棟にしたような感じでした。エレベーターを降りて奥に進んだ部屋の方が古い感じがしました。各部屋に窓はありますが、建物の真ん中を吹き抜けにして、そこから光を取り入れる形ですが、部屋は全体的に暗いです。色々トラブルがあり、2回部屋を変えて頂きました。一部屋目はヤモリがおり、気になったので部屋を変えて頂き、二部屋目は壁、ベッドに蟻が数十匹おり、耐え難いため変えて頂き、三部屋目はトイレのゴミ箱が掃除されていませんでしたが、もはや諦めそのまま過ごしました。海外の安宿にはそこそこ慣れていますが、この金額では正直不満です。

A very nice hotel, practical rooms with excellent and newly renovated bathrooms. Staff was lovely and always happy to help. The neighborhood is great as it is near the main things a tourist would like to visit. Just in front of the hotel during the night things look a bit dodgy, but avoiding the alley across the hotel street and going to the city center you face 0 problems ! Happy I stayed there and it is totally recommended as a hotel.
