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

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!

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.

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
