A few of the things I liked in the dorm room is each bed has a curtain so you have privacy and the space is really big with lots of storage space right under your bed. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the welcome card is a nice touch too. There’s a nice chill out area with bean bags and the coffee is great too. (Good coffee is a rarity in hostels)

Nous avons restés 3 nuits sur 7 au Skypod. Il a eu une panne d’électricité importante qui a durée au moins trois jours: nous ne savons pas réellement quand l’électricité et revenu, nous sommes partis. Le personnel ne s’en préoccupait pas de tout, personne était capable de nous informés sur la situation. Ils riaient et bavardaient ensemble... De plus, ils laissent entrer des nouveaux clients à 4h le matin qui n’ont aucun respect pour les gens qui dorment... Machine à café brisée et jamais réparée. Déjeuner corrects sans plus. Trop bien côté et trop cher pour un hostel comme ça! Bref, n’y allez pas, il y a moins cher et mieux !

전반적으로 깨끗하고 조용합니다. 주변 인프라는 부족합니다. 직원들은 친절하지만 조식은 형편없습니다

Everything is good but the water pressure is too low when we stayed in the hostel. I’d like to visit here again if the water pressure gets stable.

Had an enjoyable stay here. This hostel is clean and comfortable. The only down side is it is located 5 mins drive from the city centre.

Stay at Skypod was good. The 2nd night we booked a month or so in advance. We showed up to find out the whole hostel was booked up. They relocated us to JIA by Skypod and refunded our night. A small hiccup but they were very accommodating. Only little upset was that they agreed to pay for our airport transfer from the new place but didn't.

員工服務態度佳，床位乾淨且舒適。唯一的缺點是淋浴間水量太小。 能在旅館內買到觀光行程，讓沒有旅遊規劃的人也是個不錯的選擇

I enjoyed my time at the SKypod hostel. The rooms were very clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and were able to help with most things. My only downside was the location. For me it was not central enough to the city. However it was walkable or you can catch and Uber quite cheap.
