Astra Hostel

Great location and super comfy beds. Free water and access to fridge and clean kitchen/dining area. However there are only 3 toilets and showers for the whole hostel. There are also no charging ports that work within the pods. Pods also got quite hot and stuffy. You can rent a locker for €20 which is fully refundable, and isn't huge but convenient.

It is a very relaxing place if you want to escape and relax for a bit 😊 clean and tidy very comfortable, different then any hostel

A hostel with a lot of potential, near the city. At arrival it wasn't clear where the hostel was. We couldn't reach out for them with our own phone nr so one of the guest helped us. After our telephone call the codes were transfered quickly with also some good tips for the city. The room was at arrival clean with fresh sheets and only one towel. This was not enough for two people. The rooms are locked with a code but the pods aren't. There wasn't any storage space for our luggage. There were only 3 bathrooms with toilet incl. After day one they where very dirty. We stayed 4 days 2 days there was blood on the floor . Last day 2/3 bathrooms were very dirty. A bathroom with toilet included is not handy for so many guest. There should be some seperate toilets available. Then there aren't any mirrors on the toilet or in the room. Only in the pot. Also our USB charger didn't work. We had to charge in the room where everybody could steal your phone if they wanted to. We paid 76 euro/night/ pers( during st patricksday) this was too expensive for the service we got Suggestions: -more mirrors - Everyday cleaning - toiletpaper storage above the toilet so it's not dirty after people shower or vomit. - seperate toilets. - locked storage space or locked pods

The hostel has something good but the basic standard facilities don't reflect the price, no curtains on the windows and beds has no black out covers or curtains, hence, the day light was in my face since the very early morning, and I couldn't sleep! The surprise was the shower in my room had no warm water and I discovered that while I was under the shower unfortunately, I had to go 4 floors down in order to find a shower with warm water.

The location is perfect, it is a second floor without an elevator and the bathroom is one floor below the entrance, despite paying for two, they only give you a mini towel, in the bathroom there is no plug for the hairdryer, much less a hair dryer, if you want to reserve a locker you should know that the reception does not arrive until 10 a.m., the rooms have no security, any colleague can open your space even if you are inside, inside the space which is much smaller than it appears in the photos, the part to charge the mobile does not work (in the others neither) and in the room where there are 8 cubes there are only two plugs, the area that says you have snacks and water, there is not even bottled water ... all this and I am falling short ...

It is objctively the perfect hostel to stay even though they keep the prices more affordable than other expensive and unfriendly hostels and receptions in city center in Dublin. I do recommend the visitors to stay in this hostel.
