The rooms are quite ok, nice size. A bit thin walls - so you here other people opening/cloosing doors. Nice placement - 10 min walk from centrum.

I only needed to stay for one night, so this was a solid option. Check in with very easy thanks to the 24 hour reception. People need to understand this is a University accommodation, not a hotel. So the room is small. Depending on what time of year you stay, there will also be noise from students at night. The bed is also not super comfortable. But, overall, for a solo trip for one night, I don't have many complaints. Good choice for similar travellers.

Arrived approx. 5.30pm on Saturday 13th July. We were greeted by a lovely receptionist who was very helpful and explained where our apartment was and the extras on offer if we needed. The room itself was very spacious, enough for two people. It had a kitchenette with a cooker, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. There were no soaps or towels in the apartment so I suggest to bring your own. The ensuite bathroom was small but, again, perfect for two people (photos attached). A lot of reviews mentioned the noise but where we stayed (Block C), the only noise we heard were seagulls. Checkout was very fast and the staff were very responsive to any questions we had. Overall, a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. For the price, it exceeded our expectations, especially in the city centre of Dublin. Note: there is no nearby/on site parking but a QPark multi-storey carpark is situated within 3 stops on the bus. Definitely recommend if you want somewhere central that isn't the typical Dublin prices. Thank you very much to all the helpful staff for your care and attention.

The bed was quite uncomfortable and there isn’t any soap in the bathroom but for a weekend stay it really isn’t bad. It’s in a great area and that makes up for what it lacks. Wouldn’t recommend for more than a few nights for a SOLO trip.

The accommodation was excellent, clean comfortable and great location to the city centre, would stay here again.

Fantastic place, clean and comfortable. Not too far from the centre.
Was very warm in the room and hallway and the the thermostat didn’t seem to work (every room had its windows open so I suspect it’s a common issue).
Easy check in / out and just generally nice vibes in the courtyard etc

The hotel was super basic and small which would have been fine if it wasn’t also overpriced. We were offered teabags at reception but there was no kettle or cup to make the tea in so we were very confused. Maybe there was a communal area with facilities but this was never explained to us when we checked in. For the price I’d have expected a much nicer and more comfortable experience.

I really liked the location of the hostel, we were able to walk everywhere or walk to public transit! Staff were very friendly and helpful. My only cons was the room was on the top floor with no AC and got pretty hot, the walls are super thin so you hear everything, and the floor was also very dirty ( so bring slippers). You get what you paid for though!

I liked everything about the property. The only complaint I have is that one of the front desk people (a male) who worked there in the early morning of August 16, 2023, was quite rude to me. Our shower had flooded the bathroom floor because the drain wasn't draining properly. I went to the front desk to let them know and to get help. I was quite panicked and didn't know my room number immediately. The male was obviously irritated that I could only give him the apartment number and the floor, but not the building, although I did point it out. After a few minutes, I realized I had the key in my hand and gave it to him. The key had the room number on it. The male then rudely said to me that "oh, you had the key all along". He then proceeded to give me two towels, and didn't seem to take seriously my warning that our bathroom floor was flooded. Two towels would not have been enough to clean up the flooding. He did not tell me he would notify any maintenance workers to help. Fortunately, when I returned to my suite, two maintenance workers were outside the suite as they had independently noticed the flooding from the suite below us. I am certain they hadn't been notified by the rude front desk male. They helped us clean up and fix the drain. The two maintenance workers were fantastic and very kind, telling us it wasn't our fault that the bathroom flooded. So overall my experience was great, but for the one rude male. He had short brown hair and appeared to be in his twenties.

For a budget option this place does the job and is in a very good location (5 mins to St Patricks Cathedral). It’s kept budget by having certain facilities as payable extras, like towels and room fans. My only issue is that the floor was a bit dirty and it was very noisy with suitcases in the courtyard at all times of the night though so it just depends on how much you value having an open window at night.

My main complaint is the charge for leaving a small backpack three hours before the checking (5 euros per bag). The kitchen in the common area was full of rubbish, rest of foods. Staff friendly.

I had the best time. 2 negatives: weird little ants living in the bathroom sink and an alarm on the block opposite that went off every few minutes on my final night. However, I would still come back because all of the other positives definitely outweigh these two things. On top of that, Siena on reception was a complete angel when I returned to collect my bags. In fact, everyone I came into contact with on reception was awesome but Siena and the Australian lad really stood out. Thanks everyone for a fantastic stay.

Great apartment. Views from our room over Dublin. However, the fridge in the kitchen wasn’t working which we were disappointed with and the water from the sink in the kitchen was warm. But overall, impressed with the apartment.

Exactly right for a gig at the 3Arena. Easy transport...when it works. Plenty of food places near as well.

Nice clean and safe environment.
Beds cannot really fit two people.
Shower did not work properly.
Good location and an overall good deal.
6.0
It is a great discount property.
Unfortunately the suites get very hot and there is no air conditioning or cooling system. There were problems with the water heat as well. For the price however it's a decent no frills option that is right in the heart of very expensive Dublin.
10.0
Great place to stay in Dublin. Walking distance to main attractions. It is a student dorm. But as we have a large family if 6, we had whole apartment with 4 separate room, each room had a bathroom and then common kitchen. Highly recommend for large families.

Room was very warm to ac/ asked for fan they said none left, after asking a 2nd was given a tiny fan which barely helped. Bathroom mirror light was flickering (switched off switch but still constantly flickered. Staff were otherwise very helpful. Bed was ok
4.0
Our room was so dirty when we arrived we asked to be moved to a different room. Once in the new room it was still filthy and asked for cleaning supplies to clean it ourselves. We didn’t dare to let our bare feet hit the floor once. There were also no curtains so we were basically staying in a dirty fishbowl for 3 days.
The only good thing I have to say about this place is that it is in a very convenient location and you can walk to the city centre very easily.
