Amazing value
Pros:

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)

Un désastre
Pros:

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 형편

Pros:

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.

朝食
Pros:

日曜はワッフルがありました。
そのほかの日は食パンと、焼きそばだったので、朝食がもう少し充実してたらいいなーと思います。
シリアルとかがあったら嬉しいかな。

A little run around adventure
Pros:

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.

離市區近卻安靜乾淨的舒適飯店
Pros:

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

Good atmosphere, friendly staff
Pros:

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.

Very Nice Hostel - Very Friendly and Helpful Staff
Pros:

My first time staying in a hostel, let alone a "pod" type hostel. I was in a mixed room with about 25 pods. Below each pod was storage room to hold even a suitcase with a provide lock. Free wifi, a very simple breakfast with free coffee all day and night. There were 3 showers(never a problem with water pressure or hot water) that were shared among us plus 2 restrooms. There was also a changing room in both the shower area and in the shared dormitory area. They even have a washing machine that you can use with an area to hang your washed clothes.
I was skeptical at first as to how loud it might be considering you are sleeping in an area with possible 25 people right next to you. Amazing as to how quiet it really was. In fact, more quiet that most motels I have stayed in as maybe people were very conscious as to how close in proximity we were to one another.
I still would suggest to bring ear plugs or ear buds as you might have someone in the area that is a loud snorer!
This place was not in the center of town so it is about 2 km away. I personally walked it a couple times but also used uber and grab which are both readily available. Airport is only about 7 1/2 km away which only took 25 min which was during heavy traffic.
The staff were incredible....friendly, very nice and helpful. Thank you Gary and Ray for helping me out.

Perfect hostel
Pros:

Absolutely flawless this hostel. I don't usually do hostel, but did this before mount KK. Cheap airport pickup, best friendly service and staff, towels, bathroom facilities. Everything was just in order and ready for guests. Shared dorm with seperate and quite private and cousy, clean doublebed 'pods'. We brought own sleeping bag, otherwise they have blanket, I didn't use. Plenty of room for big luggage and you can lock it under bed. Breakfast is perfectly decent and free good coffee. I am lost for words of the benefits, professionalism, comfort and value you get for a very good price
