Small hostel undergoing repairs
Small and inexpensive accommodation centrally located (about 10 mins from the MRT station). The facility is undergoing repairs so there’s a limited availability of bathroom (only 1 toilet available and 2 showers). Clean bed and secure locker. Bathroom cleanliness could be improved. Staff is helpful.
No tips on refurbishment
Shouldn't be open when most of the facilities are under renovation.
The photos are not the same as now, they are deceiving people.
And the temporary toilet environment is very messy.
Feel sorry for other foreigners for letting them stay in such a poor hotel.
星盒青年旅館的住宿床位舒適且讓我滿意。然而,這裡只有一個廁所和兩間浴室,且都是男女共用,這對於遊客來說可能不太方便。而且,我在廁所和浴室發現了一些小蟑螂,也有異味存在。這些設施上的不足讓我對這次住宿的整體印象稍微降低了。希望旅館能夠改進設施環境,提供更好的衛生和舒適性,讓每位旅客都有愉快的住宿體驗。
I must say that the beds were comfortable and met my satisfaction. However, the hostel had only one toilet and two bathrooms, all shared between males and females, which could be inconvenient for guests. Additionally, I encountered some small cockroaches and noticed unpleasant odors in the toilet and bathrooms. These facility issues slightly detracted from my overall impression of the stay. I hope the hostel can improve the cleanliness and comfort of their facilities to provide a better experience for every guest.
The hostel is under renovation, therefore there was only one bathroom and shower connected for the entire property. No place to change, and frankly, very dirty throughout. False advisement and want my money back. Planned for three night stay, but did not come back after one night.
Bathrooms are spacious and clean, pods are comfortable, common areas are nice. Overall, we liked the hostel; however, their clothes dryers are all broken and we spent hours and hours and lots of money doing laundry as a result. Nobody at the front desk warned us about this when we purchased laundry soap. It felt like they were being dishonest.
This hostel is easy to reach from Taipei Main Station and railway station to Taoyuan Airport. It is also ideally located for those who wish to explore Ningxia night market and Dihua Street to get to know local foods and culture. Public area is spacious with such a nice view over Jiancheng Park. Option of one dorm bed for two person is available which can save lots of money if you travel as a couple.
