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.

Great for the price

Best price for being in the city center. Nice and quiet, not really a hostel, no staff really present, but good if you're not looking for the party scene and want to be close to the best parts of Dublin. The pods give great privacy and are actually cozy.

2 nights in a Pod!

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!

Lovely stay, fun little space pods. But no games / towels provided so bring your own! Over all very comfortable and easy stay. They let us go in earlier than check in as we had an early flight, that was v good.

The staff at Astra Hostel were kind and helpful. The location of the hostel is ideal/close to the city center. It was very convenient to be able to leave our stuff before check-in. The staff arrived only at 10am for checking out - not a problem for us, but for anyone with an early flight, be sure to mention this to the staff. The pods did not lock, nor was there anywhere in the pods to lock personal belongings. Moreover, the bathrooms are wet on the ground and were only cleaned once during our 3 day stay.

Good Hostel, Didn't cost that money.

Booked a double bed for £75 per night, unfortunately it didn't cost that money. Just a Hostel without any supervisor. The most disappointing thing is that doors in the capsules are impossible to lock, and there's no charging socket inside it, so I had to charge my phone from the socket in the corridor. Overall its definitely 3/5, clean, not over settled, good placement, but with some issues.

As a hostel, you get what you pay for. The sleeping pods are a unique experience and quite comfortable, but they can be noisy when you move. The property should consider adding lockers for guests to store their belongings, even if there's a small fee, as it's better than leaving luggage in unsecured pods or on the floor. The communal room would benefit from a sink for washing dirty dishes instead of having to go to the toilets. We had to do this twice because dirty cups were left out by other guests. Our main issue was the noise from other guests coming back at night, which woke us up at 1:30 AM due to loud talking and banging.

Not very welcoming, just a place to sleep.

The pods are OK, and the location near Smithfield not that bad, but altogether the place was rather desolate, I only met the manager? by chance (and few other residents, well, winter, and a weekend...). Only three bathrooms/toilets, can be a real problem in high season, especially if they are situated three flights of stairs down... Above all, the whole place was absolutely FRIGID in december, and light in the staircase missing.

good hotel for a few nights stay

We were looking for a hotel to stay for one night and walk around the city. We just needed a place to sleep. This is a great place for that. It's like a hostel but you have a separate capsule in room. It fits two people. You can sleep closed well inside and no one bothers you. They just opened business. Everything is new and clean. They new in business and have some issues with service but have good communication, trying help, and they are trying to make the service better. This good for one or couple who travel with limited budget. I Recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness

Overnight Stay.

Accommodation was clean & well maintained. Pod was spacious & comfortable. No chairs/stools were provided in the room. Nothing provided on which to hang your clothes or wet towels. The toilets are two flights of stairs down which is far from ideal. Two toilets/showers combined are available with another under construction. A shower being used rules out the availability of toilet, again not ideal. Overall more thought needs to be put in to make a stay more user friendly.

Better communication needed

The place didn’t have towels as listed. The check-in message had two contact numbers listed in addition to the app, which was confusing. When I asked the hosts through all three contact methods if I could leave luggage at the hostel while exploring the city, I didn’t receive a response. Most hostels offer a secure place to store luggage, and it would’ve been nice to see this option. That being said, the place was easy to find, the pod was clean (and a cool way to get privacy in a hostel), and we were thankful for a last-minute booking at such a reasonable price. I understand they just recently opened, so hopefully all kinks will be worked out soon.

This hostel has as many toilets as my 3 bed house. Much of the construction is poor - front door hits a metal box loudly as you go in, bathroom layouts mean if you're slightly above average height or weight you might struggle to actually use the toilet. Charging in our pod worked for the first night but not for the second, which messed us up for the day after. Safety deposits do not work, key for lockers were not offered/I could find no instructions to access them, so you cannot put your clothes anywhere but your pod. Having to sleep in the pod with our wet clothes on the bed from the rain was a pain. If you are 6ft+ you will probably struggle to extend fully in the pod. The advantages were location wise it was good, cheaper than most others in the area. It's only about a 10-15 minute walk to the temple bar area/O'Connell street etc. But you will have to walk past a fair few crackheads on the way, they were harmless during our visit but I can imagine they could cause trouble. The owners should take a couple of pods out from each room and put a bathroom there for each floor, it would be much improved, I very much doubt they would do that though

Perfect stay

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
