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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Liked: Cleanliness

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.

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.

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.
