Basic hostel room for a 4-star price.
Expensive for basic accomodation. Bring your own towels! I was not reminded of this fact when checking in which was odd, also No toiletries like soap or shampoo provided in the room, you have to ask for this also, again i was not made aware of this when checking in. On a positive note the room was very clean.

Terrible noise from the doors slamming shut, there's no sound insulation, you'll lying in bed and the neighbouring room door closes and it's like someone's fired a gun in your room, even feel it on the bed.

Hello Robin,First of all thank you very much for choosing us in your stay and for your time spent on reviewing us.As we are a student accommodation our doors are self-closing fire doors due to safety guidelines, and can be noisy when not caught before closing. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Best wishes,

The bathroom extractor fan ran constantly and was a little noisy at night and we couldn’t get it to stop! Not sure if it was the same in other rooms but we used ear plugs to get a good nights sleep. Staff are fantastic and the place is excellent.

Great location, spotless, top staff
Great location, spotless accommodation, really helpful staff. We were allocated a smaller room, single person uni flat type, and the small double bed wasn't great. Utilise the earplugs as the sounds from the courtyard travel up to the 5th floor, if you have you window open, and flat doors shut noisily. I would've preferred a hotter shower as was just warm. 3e charge per towel unless you book direct.

The property is clean though there were no towels or any kind of soap to use which is completely unpleasant . The receptionist took my credit card number and my CVV by force and against my desire.The receptionist looked aggressive and impolite and rude .I do warn all the people to take in consideration these things before they come as I am consented for that before booking . precautions precautions

Stop at Cork for 3 days during our cycling trip. Destiny Student was very affordable and central to visit Cork. The room was large enough to bring our bicycles inside. Our floor had a kitchen with everything to prepare a meal and laundry was available on-site.

New student building, with many amenities. But the room is really tiny, with a twin bed of no more than 120 cm. Considering this, the price we payed (165 euros including towels) was ludicrous.
