Suitable to sleep

We stayed for a few nights and found it was lovely and big campus. We weren't told where to have breakfast and we got lost trying to find it, then we didn't get told what we could eat in terms of our coupons and we didn't get to eat the following two days after paying for it. The room was standard but good enough for staying in for sleeping, the sink was leaking, the tap was cracked and we got soaked in the rain and the radiator didn't even turn on. Was not happy but least we got them dry the old fashioned way. The nubar club was nice and cheap for food, the sharer we had was delicious and the pizza. Overall a pleasant enough stay

A horrible experience and difficult to find.

Not only did the address provided NOT get me to the building, but once the cab driver found the place, there was nobody around to let me into the room. Yes, I came in quite late, but I was assured in advance by two people that the security guard would be available. When I asked a person walking by if they'd seen the guard, they said it's not safe to go wandering around to find him. That was scary. And then, once the guard arrived and I was in the room, it smelled terrible and I discovered the toilet was backed up and didn't flush. Being ultra-prepared, I had even checked their own website to see "how to get there" and all it said was they were close to the airport and to take certain buses. They didn't explain that you couldn't drive onto the campus, and that you needed to skirt around to access from the rear. The address given led to the front gate, which is the opposite side of the campus from the dorm building. Overall a horrible experience, and I'm SO thankful to my Uber driver for sticking with it and finding the dorm building. The only reason I'm giving it 2 instead of 1 star is that it was the only place in Dublin that had a bed for under 120 euros, and it did feel great to finally sleep after a long flight. Even if it was in a stench-filled room with a broken toilet.

Very nice option

It was a great stay! Very convenient with buses to go from the airport and to the city center. The price is very good and the breakfast is complete with lots of choices. The only problem was that we could hear people party outside quite loudly, so I wouldn't recommend to anyo e having trouble sleeping! Also, the mattresses were quite hard.

Mould/ Disappointment

Our room was compact, no blinds, no curtains at the 5ftx5ft window that overlooked a courtyard and a stairwell. We were unable to have the lights on or change in the room (this would have been classed as indecent exposure). The shower room had mold on the ceiling and tiles. We reported to reception the blinds and curtains were missing on two different occasions, 2 nights we slept without and coverage on the window. The night before we were taking an early flight reception decided to offer another room, so we moved late at night. The new room had blinds and curtains and faced a forest so no curtains needed. Least to say they declined a refund. The 2night stay cost £200+ for a mouldy shower room and room without any curtains or blinds. Needless to say they care more about money than their customers.

Lovely room and nice, clean kitchen. Staff were super friendly and helpful! Breakfast was a nice touch too. Room was extremely hot and having the window open meant that we could hear the international/summer camp kids all night who were very loud! Not the hotels fault ofc but don't expect a peaceful night's sleep lol
