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
Cheap, easy and central enough to make it worth it low key

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
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 :)
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.
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
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.

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.
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!
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.
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.

Cozy stay in a “space capsule”. No towels even though it said in the description when booking. Nice central to everything
