Ripped curtain net, ripped wall paper, tap is leaking water constantly, hard to open and close toilet door. One is the worst motel I stayed for years. Although it's $115 a night, but need a lot work get done! The owner need take pride for your own business!

No working bed side lamp. Had to pull bed away from wall to attach plug for electric blanket. Toilet and bathroom need upgrading. Bed very comfortable. Unit immaculately clean. Nice garden. Enjoyed being close to the river and Dublin bridge.

Pictures are deceiving in terms of actual room size.
Good handy location close to the city, room looked a bit bigger in pictures then it was but overall for what we needed it was fine.

“I wouldn’t recommend it.”

- • Stayed 1 night

The Astral Motel was hands down the noisiest place we have ever stayed! Not just the noise from the main road that is right outside but the guests next door could be easily heard through the walls, the bearings in their sliding door were obviously needing replacing and the fact that the way the rooms are situated meant they were standing at our front door every 5 minutes they were outside smoking! The sound of other rooms running water sounded like we had left the shower on. No ventilation other than windows that can’t be latched so couldn’t be left open - walls were dripping by morning time.
Friendly staff and comfortable bed.
