Johor Bahru's BEST Sky Tree Service Apartment: Unbelievable Views & Luxury Await! (Seriously, They Aren't Kidding!) - A Messy, Honest Review
Alright, folks, let's get real. Planning a trip to Johor Bahru? Thinking about the Sky Tree Service Apartment? Forget those sanitized, generic reviews. I'm here to tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me… well, help me book another night there, 'cause I seriously didn't want to leave.
First things first: Unbelievable Views. They're not exaggerating. I mean, seriously not exaggerating. I'm talking about the kind of view that makes you want to chuck your phone out the window (figuratively, of course… you need it for Instagram!). Waking up to that cityscape, especially at sunrise? Pure. Gold. (And yes, they do have high floors, which is essential for the full "wow" effect).
Accessibility: Now, I'm not a wheelchair user, but I did take a good look around. The elevator is definitely there, which is a huge plus. And the facilities are designed for those who need it. I saw facilities for disabled guests listed, which is comforting.
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where Sky Tree really shines, especially in this post-pandemic world. They take it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, they've got it all. I even noticed a little sign boasting their Hygiene certification. And the room sanitization opt-out available? Brilliant. Makes you feel super safe. Their staff are definitely trained in safety protocol, which is reassuring. I felt genuinely secure, which is a big deal for peace of mind. Plus the Hand sanitizer stations were EVERYWHERE, literally everywhere.
Rooms, Glorious Rooms!: Okay, let's dive into the details. I stayed in a room with air conditioning (thank GOD!), blackout curtains (essential for sleeping in!), and a bathrobe (luxury!). They even have a scale – perfect for after you've devoured all the delicious Malaysian food (more on that later!). The Wi-Fi [free] worked a treat (Internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN were both solid options). The complimentary tea was a nice touch, and the mini-bar was stocked (though I mostly stuck to the free bottled water). They really have thought of everything. My bed was so comfortable, one of the extra-long bed, I could happily spend my entire day there. I also noticed they've got non-smoking rooms, which is a huge plus. Oh and the window that opens? Important for fresh air!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Favorite Part!): Okay, where do I even begin? Seriously, this place is paradise for foodies. The main restaurant offers a mix of Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant – something for everyone. I had their Asian breakfast, which was fantastic, and I’m a sucker for coffee/tea in restaurant. They have a poolside bar which is perfect for a sundowner (and they have a happy hour, which is even better!). Breakfast is a buffet but since the breakfast takeaway service is available to take some options for the road. And for those late-night cravings? Room service [24-hour]. They also have a snack bar, so you're never truly hungry. They even had a vegetarian restaurant - perfect for the health-conscious traveller. And they offer breakfast in room! I’m pretty sure I ordered breakfast everyday, it was the best experience I’ve had!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Get Ready to Chill): Now, to unwind. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous, with the pool with view I mentioned before. Seriously, just staring at that view while you’re floating in the water is pure bliss. They also have a Fitness center if you're feeling energetic. This place is perfect for relaxation. The Spa/sauna is a must-do. I didn’t get a chance to try everything, but I did sneak into the steamroom and it was absolute heaven. They also offer massage and foot bath. Heaven!
Services and Conveniences: This is where the little things add up to make a huge difference. Concierge – super helpful. Daily housekeeping – my room always sparkled. Laundry service – essential! Currency exchange – very handy. Cash withdrawal – check! Car park [free of charge] – yes! It’s just the little details that make your life so much easier. The elevator is convenient and the luggage storage is a lifesaver for an early check out.
For the Kids: I didn't travel with kids, but I noticed they offer babysitting service and have kids facilities, so this place is definitely family/child friendly. I love the fact.
Getting Around: They offer airport transfer – super convenient! Car park [on-site] and taxi service are also readily available.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Life Isn't All Roses): Okay, look, no place is perfect. The coffee in the restaurant, while good, wasn't amazing. And the elevator might take a hot minute during peak times. Oh, and the "convenience store" could have had a few more snack options. But honestly, those are minor quibbles.
The Bottom Line (And a Seriously Strong Recommendation): Sky Tree Service Apartment? Book it. Seriously. For the views alone, it's worth it. The comfort, the food, the peace of mind… it's all there.
My Recommendation to You
This is the BEST service apartment I’ve stayed in and you should book it. You are going to regret not doing so. The value for money is unparalleled, and if you’re looking for a truly luxurious experience that doesn't break the bank, this is your place. Go. Now. You won't regret it. Oh and say hi to the front desk person for me, they were awesome. And if you are thinking of going with your loved one, make sure you consider the Couple's room! And, most importantly, the fact that they offer safe dining setup and safe security feature makes me want to revisit it anytime!
Final Thoughts: This place is a gem. And trust me, I'm a tough critic. But Sky Tree? Sky Tree gets a massive thumbs-up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book my next trip…

Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause this ain't your average, pristine travel itinerary. This is the raw, the real, the "I-almost-missed-my-flight-because-I-was-busy-stuffing-my-face-with-nasi-lemak" version. This is Johor Bahru, Sky Tree Service Apartment, and me, unfiltered. Prepare for a rollercoaster…
Johor Bahru: Sky Tree Service Apartment - The Messy, Marvelous Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & (Almost) Instant Gratification. AKA, The Nasi Lemak Debacle.
- Morning (8:00 AM): Flight lands in Singapore (Changi, naturally, because even my chaotic travel style appreciates a beautiful airport). Okay, smooth(ish) sailing so far.
- Morning (9:30 AM): Border crossing into Malaysia. Ah, the smells of chili and exhaust fumes! Seriously, it smells like adventure. (And is it just me, or do immigration officers always have a look that says, "I've seen things?")
- Morning (10:30 AM): Taxi to Sky Tree Service Apartment. The drive is a visual overload! High-rises, sprawling markets, stray cats looking as judgemental as the cats back home, and street food stalls promising sensory overload. My stomach is already rumbling in anticipation.
- Morning (11:30 AM): Check-in to Sky Tree. First impression? Modern, sleek, air-conditioned bliss! My messy, over-packed suitcase and I feel immediately out of our depth. The view from the apartment? Stunning. I'm already planning to order a pizza to the balcony.
- Late Morning (12:30 PM): FOOD. This is the most important part. The raison d'ĂȘtre. I'm off to find the legendary Nasi Lemak. The internet promised me the best in town. I find a little roadside stall, crowded with locals. This is it!
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Oh. My. Goodness. The nasi lemak. Coconut rice, fragrant and fluffy; crispy, perfectly seasoned fried chicken; fiery sambal that makes my eyes water with deliciousness; a perfectly fried egg; the works. Worth almost missing my onward connection! I swear, I could eat this every day. Ate so fast, I forgot to take a decent picture. Oops.
- Afternoon (2:30 PM): A desperate attempt to burn off the Nasi Lemak calories. Poolside chill. The water is a little cold, but the sun is glorious. I even attempted to read a book, but I was too busy people-watching. And staring at the skyline, which isn't a bad life.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Grocery store run. I need snacks. So many snacks. My suitcase is basically a bottomless pit of tourist treasure at this point.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Sunset drinks on the balcony. Ah, that pizza I mentioned… it was good, not amazing, but the ambiance made up for it. Also, I may or may not have spilled red wine on the (thankfully provided) towels. Oops again. Sky Tree, I hope you can forgive me.
- Night (9:00 PM): Stumbled across a night market. More smells! So much color! I got lost in the labyrinth of stalls. Managed a few souvenirs and accidentally bought a pair of neon orange socks. No regrets.
- Night (11:00 PM): Collapsed in bed. Full stomach, slightly tipsy, and utterly content. Dreaming of the next Nasi Lemak.
Day 2: Dazzling Decorations & the (Accidental) Art Gallery
- Morning (9:00 AM): Wake up feeling surprisingly not hungover. Maybe it was the constant heat. Maybe Malaysian air is magic. Maybe the leftover pizza. Either way, I'll take it!
- Morning (10:00 AM): Decided to take a walk in the neighborhood. Sky Tree is a great basecamp. It is a bit more complicated than I imagined. I kept getting lost. I asked for help. I still got lost. But, hey, I'm getting to know the place better.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Tried a different nasi lemak place. Competition is fierce! This one had peanuts that were beyond. A whole new level of crunch! I think I may have found my favorite.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Went to a mall. This is where things got weird. The mall was decorated. Christmas-themed. In July. (It's Malaysia; they don't mess around with holidays.) I went a little crazy with the camera.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): The Art Gallery. I don't go in for art. I'm a philistine, really. But there it was, I went in. It was fascinating. It was quiet. It was lovely, and I enjoyed it. I'm kind of glad I went.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant in the city. The waiters were kind enough. The food was so good, I nearly cried.
- Night (9:00 PM): Back to the apartment. Another balcony session. A bit of journaling (trying to remember all of this!), and general planning for tomorrow.
- Night (11:00 PM): Sleep.
Day 3: The Day of the Theme Park and the Unexpected Souvenir
- Morning (9:00 AM): Breakfast at the apartment. Coffee and a dodgy croissant because, let's be honest, I'd eaten all the good pastries the day before.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Theme park time! (I'm keeping it a surprise.) This is where the fun really begins.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Street food, naturally.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Returned to the apartment. Time to change clothes. Time to think. Time to be.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Drinks by the pool.
- Night (9:00 PM): Packing up.
- Night (10:00 PM): Final checks.
This is just a framework, of course. I'll probably get sidetracked by a particularly alluring street vendor, or a charming cat, or the siren song of another plate of nasi lemak. And you know what? That's the whole point. This trip, this itinerary – it's about the unpredictable moments, the delicious discoveries, and the messy, beautiful chaos of it all. Wish me luck (and send me more Nasi Lemak recommendations!).
