The space pods are AWESOME!! The bedsheets and pillows are clean, beds comfy and (visuallly) private! The rooms and grooves around the bed could use a vacuuming typical of hostels, and our booking for two sadly only equipped us with one towel to share, so that was less than ideal. Kitchen is not too equipped, there were espresso pods but no cups. Also, important to note there is NO parking available. There are two nearby Qpark lots but check the hours as the nearer, and cheaper one, is locked so if you need after hours arrival or departure, you will have to use the Christchurch Qpark which is fairly pricey (overnight was 51€....could be a bit cheaper if you are able to pre-book) and a 10 minute walk to Astra. Note: the rooms are up 20 steps per floor, and the bathrooms are in the basement - counting the three steps into the top pod it was about 50 stairs down from our 2nd floor bunk room to the bathrooms...

We loved this place , there was minor issues that can easily get fixed, like putting a lock on the pods that way the traveler can comfortably leave things there without having to worry about things getting stolen,also if you oversized person restroom is not big enough , installing small fans inside pods would help massively because the air coming from mirror is not enough , other than that restaurants across the river temple bar is 8min walk

Pods were perfect! Fit 2 people. Bathrooms were clean, even soap was available! Just ask for extra towel if needed! Recommend for small traveling and a few days! Definitely would stay again. Staff is nice and accommodating. Location was awesome very close to Temple Bar!

My first hostel experience, about as good as you should expect from a hostel. The only thing is that they require your passport emailed to them ahead of time, and they don't accept it when you check in. Which feels super dumb. Just accept the passports at check in. It wasn't an issue for us because we saw the instruction and did it. But I watched several groups argue with the front desk dude. He said they lost $10,000 last year to false bookings, and that's why they require passports; which is fine, but why not accept them at the front desk? ! literally watched him have to refund almost a $1000 for various travelers because of it. In one weekend. So surely they're losing more than $10k a year for that weird stipulation. Everywhere accepts the passports at check in. Feels totally optional. Anyway, good experience though. They cleaned everyday, the bathrooms were good. The pods are temu plastic boxes and the usb thing didn't work on ours, but they had other charging spots. It might get a little hot, the "AC" is a computer fan in the pod. Pods don't lock btw, but we felt safe. Overall it was great.

The usb ports in the pod didn’t work, the air con in the pods were rubbish and as it was roasting in them it was hard to sleep. Staff seemed surprised I asked for two towels (one person), refundable €20 for a locker which they then were shocked I wanted my €20 back in cash like I gave them not via bank transfer, about 15 black bin bags left in the hall way for at least 2 days, no kitchen so when water run out in the sink you couldn’t wash up, tiny bathroom ( paint peeling off the roof in large chunks and no shower mat so the floors were drenched when you got out the shower), hard mattress and they changed the code daily without telling us this is what they do. cleanish rooms though. Finally there’s two different number for the hostel. Only one works which they don’t answer and I messaged the hostel the day before I arrived and never got a response even though it say to contact them before arriving and to complete a registration form which I never received so it was very stressful. For £196 for two nights I was extremely disappointed and i feel ripped off! I don’t recommend and I’d like a refund

Honestly for the price I was impressed! It’s right in the middle of Dublin, the pod was surprisingly comfy. Only issue is the shared toilet shower combo, morning queues suck but yeah, I’ve already booked to stay again

Bed was in different floor and in a dorm with more beds than agreed. No curtains for the windows, no outlets in the pods. Every review on all platforms is answered with lies. No hot water for hours and then no water at all whatsoever for flushing, shower or even the sink. Dirty bathrooms constantly which all guests are supposed to share (mind you there are 4 floors full of pods and only three bathrooms with showers appropriate only for tiny people and that bathroom is in the basement. One towel provided initially for both of us and it was the size of a handtowel. The management obviously doesn’t care about cleanness, comfort or basic respect to the paying guests. The staircase is falling apart and it is never appropriately lighted. This place needs to be shut down for some time to address all unhygienic and maintenance issues and then reopen. It is not worth it even if you try to save some bucks. I have never stayed anywhere as bad as this place

Los recepcionistas solo están en ciertos horarios entonces tienes que adivinar cuando están, es un solo baño de mujeres para todo el hostal, lo más rescatable es la ubicación está bastante bien ubicado

A very ok hostel. The first pod we got assigned smelled like urine, so we brought it up to the manager and they were able to assign us a different one. The usb ports in our pod did not work and this seemed like a common issue. I heard multiple other people complaining about this to reception. The "kitchen" is not a kitchen at all. Just a microwave, kettle, and panini press. There was 1 bowl, 2 plates, a couple sets of silverware and a handful of mugs to use, but no sink, so you had to take any dishes upstairs to the bathrooms to wash them. And there were only 3 bathrooms for the whole facility, each one with a toilet and shower, so in the morning and evening it was common to have to wait a very long time for any toilet to be available. The showers were quite good once you got one, and the beds were comfy at least. TL;DR, VERY lacking in facilities, but a cheap convenient place to stay.

Good check in, be aware mixed rooms so can be uncomfortable. Toilets and showers three floors down which is a nightmare. Worst nights sleep I e ever had due to snoring neighbour and noisy people. Security was good.

The bed itself was reasonable and the capsule provided a level of privacy you don't get in an normal dorm, however the USB charge points did not work, the towel provided had a stain (hopefully a mark that didn't come out in the wash but this still didn't look pleasant), old food was left in the lockers, the "kitchen"/reception area had bags of rubbish piled in the corridors, and the shower had mould on the ceilings. Whilst I was not expecting premium quality and service, considering how much I paid for the stay I most certainly cannot recommend this place.

Booked this as the pods seemed like a cool idea vs a typical bunk situation. Unfortunately the air flow in the pods is so poor that it’s difficult to sleep without the door open. The room was so hot and humid that my partner and I were soaked in sweat all night as well. I booked a locker to keep our valuables in for a supposedly refundable €20. When we left in the morning the property manager was not there. I hung the locker key in the locker, sent a photo to the owner asking for the €20. It’s been about a month and I still haven’t received a response. Bathrooms were disgusting and my 5’2” partner barely had enough room to sit on the toilet because the room is so narrow. Someone smeared sh*t all over the toilet paper roll and it was still like that when we left. I’m not one to complain typically. I’m aware that hostels are affordable for a reason and don’t expect much. But this was a terrible stay.

We had a great 2 day stay, was meet on arrival. Obviously this is a place to sleep only so we paid a deposit for lockers to keep our kit safe. Problem, no receptionist on a Sunday and cleaner could only refund for one locker. Contacted hostel on the Monday through WA and problem solved, bank transfer. Thankyou for that!! Pods were clean, bathroom clean! Only negative was the USB points in the Pods didn't work and they were extremely warm, door had to remain open. Overall a positive experience!

The hostel was as expected and for what we paid it was good. It was clean, fresh bedding and towels provided and in the pods felt quite spacious and safe. The location was also good. The thing that let this down was the no communication prior to check in advising how to check in. We tried to make contact with the hostel and the phone number did not exist leaving us worrying that we were having to find somewhere else to stay and the cheapest available accommodation in Dublin was over £500. After lots of Google searches we found a number you could WhatsApp and luckily we got our details to check in and access the building. I would say this is something that needs improving. Also the phone charging points in the pods didn’t work and there are not many power outlets. Overall, you get what you pay for and wasn’t a bad experience
