10/10 Exceptional

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

Check in needs improving

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

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.

Phone chargers in the pods don't work. Only toilet is on the ground floor. No lockers. Pretty poor to be honest.

Nice stay

Cozy stay in a “space capsule”. No towels even though it said in the description when booking. Nice central to everything
Nadia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not safe, no locks to your dorm, No place to hand clothes, no chair to sit, Not like a hostel
Khet, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Jess, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Nicolas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Keiran, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

6/10 Good

Not very welcoming, just a place to sleep.

The pods are OK, and the location near Smithfield not that bad, but altogether the place was rather desolate, I only met the manager? by chance (and few other residents, well, winter, and a weekend...). Only three bathrooms/toilets, can be a real problem in high season, especially if they are situated three flights of stairs down... Above all, the whole place was absolutely FRIGID in december, and light in the staircase missing.

good hotel for a few nights stay

We were looking for a hotel to stay for one night and walk around the city. We just needed a place to sleep. This is a great place for that. It's like a hostel but you have a separate capsule in room. It fits two people. You can sleep closed well inside and no one bothers you. They just opened business. Everything is new and clean. They new in business and have some issues with service but have good communication, trying help, and they are trying to make the service better. This good for one or couple who travel with limited budget. I Recommend.
Oleg, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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

Overnight Stay.

Accommodation was clean & well maintained. Pod was spacious & comfortable. No chairs/stools were provided in the room. Nothing provided on which to hang your clothes or wet towels. The toilets are two flights of stairs down which is far from ideal. Two toilets/showers combined are available with another under construction. A shower being used rules out the availability of toilet, again not ideal. Overall more thought needs to be put in to make a stay more user friendly.

4/10 Fair

Bad experience

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.
Jade, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

We were not given the check in code or any directions for how to enter the building and emailed and called with no answer for a couple hours until we were finally let in. There is no staff at all in the building so if you need any help you’re out of luck. The pods are literally flimsy plastic boxes and there is no heating in the entire building so it’s very cold all day. The bathrooms started out ok but cleaning staff must come very irregularly because by the end of our two day stay there were trashed and out of toilet paper. I have stayed in regular and pod hostels before and haven’t had issues but this one was not worth the price.
