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

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.

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.

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.
