Amazing value
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)

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.

A little run around adventure
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.
