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.

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.

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 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!

4/10 Fair

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.

Great for the price

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

2 nights in a Pod!

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!
Clean and comfortable

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.
