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!

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.

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.

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

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!

We had a great time, we were attending a concert at Croke Park so it was perfect for putting our head down without paying a fortune. Amenities were all as described. I definitely would return.

一晩寝るだけの場所を探していたので、ぴったりの場所でした。Space Podはユニークで広さも十分ですが、USBポートが使えなかったのが残念でした。トイレが一階にしかないので少し不便です。スタッフの方はとても親切でした。

The bed was very comfortable however, the airflow was terrible and extremely hot and the bathroom was disgusting. this is the most amount of money i have ever spent on a hostel and it was the worst i’ve ever stayed at
