The room was not very clean, the staff was not coordinated, in the first day said that we can leave the luggage in the reception but in the last day they said no.

This room was surprisingly spartan for the expanse of this residence. there was no shampoo or soap in washroom. Small room. Overall not very good value.

Decent accommodations
Check in process was simple, and lobby always had staff on hand. The bed is somewhat uncomfortable and toiletries provided are scant, but not unreasonable for price. Overall good, not great.

Really friendly reception staff who were present at all times to answer any questions we had. The room and the shared kitchen were clean and ideal. About a 20 minute walk along the river to temple bar, and less for many amazing restaurants and pubs, etc. Perfect for a short term stay.

If you want to sleep, do not book here. I think the room feeling stuffy and warm was a rare thing in Dublin but because of this, we really needed the window open to feel comfortable. Unfortunately people yell in the courtyard all night long and you can’t get any sleep. Even with the window closed it was loud and didn’t stop till around 5am. It also doesn’t help that people pound on the doors from the inside as well. Also the bed is like sleeping on flat plastic water bottles, and a double is tight for two adults. I guess if you were two very small humans it’d be fine, or maybe if the bed was comfortable. The sink was clogged and took forever to drain. Also there are no extra sheets, towels, blankets, pillows or hand towels. It’s rough.

It was a great place to stay. Close enough to Dublin centre. The bed is a small double but fine for a couple. Although ours was in really bad condition so had to sleep on the duvet. The room was warm enough so it worked. Great place, would recommend but they need to invest in new mattresses

This is student accommodation that’s available to stay in out of term time. You pay a budget price but get a very clean and modern place to stay located in the heart of Dublin. The reception staff were friendly. The room is small and the facilities are very basic... but it offers overall great value for the price. We would happily stay again.

Quick 2 night stay to sightsee! Could not fault anything with the accommodation and everything was available; such as the bowling alley and table tennis, etc. Could walk to many different places and it was very handy. People on the desk have good information if you needed to know about buses or where to go and they were approachable and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely room, but not restful.
The room is very much what it sells itself to be; a university accommodation room. Albeit it very clean and modern, it’s a squeeze for two people to share. The beds aren’t quite a double and the noise from outside is quite a lot in the mornings. The bathroom is lovely however. The extras are all an extra charge, so bring your own extra pillows, hairdryer etc, all of this would have been nice to have been told beforehand.

Clean modern well kept property but bed way to small for 2 people . The mattress was the cheapest I’ve ever encountered, the springs kept me awake all night . It wasn’t worth €130, no hand wash or shampoos etc . €5 to rent a hairdryer from reception No parking . For these reasons I would not recommend this property.

With the understanding we knew we were staying in a student housing complex, I had the expectation of some basic amenities to be included. For example the option to get new towels if needed for no extra cost or simply giving us a bar of soap for our bathroom. I found it quite ridiculous you couldn't provide a simple bar of soap for your residents bathrooms and I had to go down to the grocery story to buy a full bottle for my 3 nights.

Cheap option
Just chose here as it was the cheapest option. It is student halls, so be prepared for a very small room without any character. The en-suite bathroom was decent but there was NO HAND SOAP, which is a bit disturbing. Similarly, it was nice to have access to the communal kitchen, but it was useless with no cooking utensils or cleaning items. The area is fairly quiet, but a quick enough walk to the Liffey, and close to the restaurants and pubs of Stoneybatter. About half-hour walk to the Temple Bar area, so not ideal if you want the tourist centre of Dublin, but decent just for a quiet base. Not a long walk to Phoenix Park, Jameson or Guinness.

For what it is, it was great. Obviously is student accomodation (states in the title), so isn’t treated like a hotel. Reading some of the comments people have crazy high expectations for this, this is very basic accomodation. My room was very clean and comfortable when I arrived. All amenities were good, there was noise but what do you expect for student accomodation. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Nice on the Surface
Everything was very clean and modern, and they supplied the essentials, i.e. bedding and towels. However the bed was quite lumpy, there was only a very thick duvet for a room that showed at 26 degrees C with no air conditioning, and the doors/latches were so loud that all the people in my hall coming and going at all hours made my sleep not a very peaceful one. But if you’re a heavy sleeper that wouldn’t be an issue, and any time other than the summer it probably wouldn’t be so warm.

I hate how confusing it is. The architecture seemed unecessaruly complex. I feel each building should have its own lobby or something. Or at least hand out a very clear (and maybe 3D) map to every guest. It was clean but not spotless. There were like, water stains on the walls in the shower and also in the grout between the tiles on the floor which i can't stand😣 Grout should really be scrubbed with a brush in order to maintain its cleanliness. The bed sheets had some random black spots which i brushed off but made me feel dirty when sleeping.

Great room
Not sure why this property has a 6.8/10 rating given my most recent stay. The room was conveniently located - 15 min walk to temple bar, very clean, and extremely affordable. I must admit the room/bed was relatively small, but it was an excellent deal for the price/location. Would highly recommend to anyone on a budget and planning to spend the majority of their time exploring the city of Dublin!

Very tiny room and bed with no amenities in the bathroom whatsoever. My room was right next to the smoking area outside as well so it stank and was noisy. Not worth the price in my opinion.

The room in what is usually accomodation was very basic - no amenities provided in the room - with a very uncomfortable bed. This would be understandable if it was very cheap, however at €75 per night, it's not really justifiable. On the plus side, the room was very well cleaned and the en suite bathroom was very nice. We would rather have stayed in a purpose built hotel or bnb however there was nothing affordable ij Dublin even at 6 or so weeks' nitice

The rooms are quite nice but we found the common areas dirty. We found later that the common areas are only cleaned when everyone is checking out of an apartment, since our apartment contained 8 rooms of different people coming and going, it appeared that our common room had not been cleaned for some time.
