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.

舒適床位優勢掩蓋青年旅館設施不足

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.

記得自備盥洗拖鞋

床位乾淨舒適，不過沒有盥洗用的拖鞋，洗澡時穿著布鞋進去浴室，就算把鞋子放在門口還是有一點濕，有提供長期住宿，所以房間內有比較多的雜物，不過不影響他人

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.

Well located with nice view

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.

宿泊先が入っているビルの玄関の出入り口が警備員(受付スタッフ)付きで、出入りする度に内線でスタッフを呼んで１階まで降りてきてもらうシステム。セキュリティーがしっかりしている気もするが、部屋にたどり着くまでにすごく時間がかかり、急いでいるときは不便に感じた。 ベッドはとてもキレイで幅広くスペースがとってあり、快適だった。スタッフもとても丁寧な対応で、旅行先で親切にされるありがたみを感じた。

台北駅から徒歩圏内で寧夏夜市も目の前でロケーションは良いです。 スタッフも明るくフレンドリーで滞在中は何も不満がありませんでした。 ベットにカーテンが付いていてある程度のプライベートが保てます。 ０時を過ぎてもスタッフがフロントにいて遅い時間でも安心してチェックイン出来ます。

基本的な中・大型ドミトリーホテル

＜良かった点＞ ・ホテルに来る人へのセキュリティー ・寧夏夜市が直ぐ近く ・日本語が出来るスタッフが居る時もある ・1区画がマットレスより大きい ・シャワー熱水ＯＫ。威力は並 ・コンセントの口（2つ）の間隔が広い為、少し大きめの充電器が使用出来る ＜良くなかった点＞ ・外出の毎に警備員に電話してもらわなければいけない ・洗面所ではお湯が出ない ・トイレの紙切れが数箇所あった ・共有のキッチンが無い ・入り口が分かり難い ＜その他＞ ・一室が広く大人数 ・部屋へはカードキー、ロッカーは4ケタのダイヤル ・ハンガー1つあり ※以下はホテル側に落ち度はありませんが、一応報告しておきます。 どこの国の人か分かりませんが、老若男女10強で来ていたグループが、朝も夜もお構い無しに大声で笑ったり会話していました。 私はうるさい場所でも眠れる為大丈夫でしたが、普通の人は睡眠を妨害されるレベルでした。 また、それだけなら良いのですが、夜になると･･･ 大人の夜の営みの声（女性の生声）が、隠す様子も無く部屋中に響き渡っていました。 それも2日連続で･･･！ 今まで沢山のドミトリーに泊まってきましたが、この様な事は有りませんでした。 改めて「理解でき出来ない程、常識の違う人間がこの世には存在する」と再認識しました。
