3.0 / 10.0

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

1.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

Was all good

2.0 / 10.0

Mold, broken facilities, and filthy bathrooms. Avoid this place at all costs! We stayed here recently and I strongly advise other travelers not to book this hostel. The sleeping capsules themselves were okay small but expected for the price. The light worked fine, but the power outlet inside the capsule didn’t, so we couldn’t charge our phones. The main issue, however, was the state of the shared bathrooms, which was absolutely unacceptable. • The shower silicone joints were yellow and black, while the ones around the rest of the bathroom were completely black with mold. • The windows couldn’t be opened, so all the steam and moisture just stayed inside, making everything damp and musty. • The bathroom floor was constantly wet, with visible dirt and hair that clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. • There was even a slug crawling on the ceiling, which was extremely unpleasant to see. • The toilet seat was broken, and the white tiles had turned brownish from layers of grime. I didn’t personally check the other bathrooms, but judging from what we saw, it’s hard to imagine they were in better condition. When we went to the reception in the morning, no staff were present. On the desk there was a small empty plastic bag that looked suspiciously like it had contained illegal substances, which didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Additionally, there were empty alcohol bottles left in the hallway, adding to the overall feeling of neglect. We contacted Expedia for a refund and

2.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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...

6.0 / 10.0

Not a lot of privacy but ok for a hostel

8.0 / 10.0

Decent, clean, liked the self contained pod capsules

4.0 / 10.0

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!

3.0 / 10.0

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

8.0 / 10.0

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.

6.0 / 10.0

Pod was comfy but very open. Linen clean small towel provided and shower clean. No cups to makr hot drink though. Thomas the night man was a good laugh and helpful.

5.0 / 10.0

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

4.0 / 10.0

Pod layout means you they are very hard to climb in and out of and makes uncomfortably close with other guests doors. Showers and toilets located in same room, toilets so close to the wall you have to sit on the side to use them. Arrived and we hadn't been booked in - took some time to find the email with our booking.

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!

Electrical outlets don’t work in the pods.

6.0 / 10.0

For one night it was ok, but not more. The pods were too hot during the night. They should put a better AC into them.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

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

4.0 / 10.0

Basic, small, noisy, no facilities

6.0 / 10.0

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.

2.0 / 10.0

Not safe, no locks to your dorm, No place to hand clothes, no chair to sit, Not like a hostel

6.0 / 10.0

The individual pods were ok - clean etc. But our pod was on the second floor and the shared bathrooms were on the ground which wasn’t very convenient. And appreciate this isn’t necessarily down to the hostel, but the people we shared a room with woke us up multiple times when drunk and returning and talking and laughing. We didn’t sleep on the second night.

1.0 / 10.0

The hostel doesn't have a reception nor staff, you get a code to a capsule in a room with 8 capsules. People in the room were occupying all the capsules In the room on arrival ignoring if it was theirs or not. You can't manage a hostel like that.

5.0 / 10.0

Staff was very quick with responses when we arrived and needed the code for the door, pod was very cosy and clean, we had a great night. Would definitely stay again :)

3.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

4.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our stay!

2.0 / 10.0

Terrible accommodation. When we arrived we were very disappointed to find out there was no signage on the building or any indication of where it is. When we got to the room we were extremely disappointed with the lack of security, there’s no lockers in the rooms and the doors in the pods don’t lock. There’s no staff on property so no sense of security of who’s coming and going. We ended up booking a hotel due to how unsafe this accommodation felt. Definitely would not recommend staying here

2.0 / 10.0

The concept as a great potential, but it is not well administrated. There was no hot water to shower on our last day, there was no heat during the whole stay. They also changed the front door code to access the hostel on our last night so we got stuck outside freezing one hour for them to give us a new code. They were also not answering our email and text message and we kindly ask a refund since the place was not excepting right standards.
