The Residence Dublin

The windows opened only slightly and one direction. My neighbors i could head everything because it was pointrd at my window. Great othrr than that

Very good value for our first time in Dublin. This place is modern and bright and our room was very satisfactory and on the third floor (no elevator). It was a dorm room and we had bedding, pillows, towels , even tiny shampoo, soap, lotion to go with the tiny bathroom. Plenty of storage: wardrobe, drawers, desk, lamp, big window (didn’t open wide for obvious reasons), shelves in room and bathroom. The floor below us had a kitchen lounge, well appointed. We made use of the iron and ironing board, stove, fridge, dishes. There was a dishwasher but we hand washed. We left breakfast items in a bag in the fridge, nothing touched. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. Be aware that the room does not self lock. You need your fob to get in to any building except the kitchen. The main entrance area had a laundry room that we made use of for washing. Used the appWash app. Hung our clothes in our room to dry (bought some cord & pegs to hang items off and it was hot while we were there). We had a car and knew there was no parking, so we watched parking times on main road, side road and Tesco to manage it. No tickets. Tesco was a four minute walk. Food was pricier than the UK. We stayed three nights and would recommend.

Basically the accommodation are student accommodation. These are basic clean room with a double bed and an en-suite, small shower, toilet and sink. Communal area to store and cook food with a TV. There are no TV in rooms. Good value for money for a short stay a couple of days. Walkable distance to local attractions 20-25 minutes walk to city centre and Heuston train station. Local transport available buses and trams. Shop and a few restaurants near by. If your looking for cheap city break stay then the Residence is ideal, cheap and cheerful, beds are comfortable and clean. Small toiletries are provided with a towel and there is a small lockable cupboard to keep money and passports. Felt very safe and secure. Friendly and helpful staff, reception is manned 24/7. It would have been used to have a bin in the room but the communal area is not too far to dump your rubbish. No VIP access as this was noted when booking if not offered should be removed from third party site as this is misleading. Check in is 4pm a suggestion that a VIP perk could be earlier check in. Overall a comfortable stay suitable for a short stay on a budget.👍

The Residence has friendly staff and a comfortable room. It is about a 25-30 minute walk from all the main attractions. For me, this was preferred. The area around the Residence has a few good pubs and restaurants. The walls are thin, and you can hear most conversations and noise outside. My only complaint is how the staff inconsistently handled a noise violation. The rooms got warm at night, and the window needed to be opened. You can hear someone's regular talking voice in their room if both windows are open. I wouldn't mind staying here again!

**info only—not hotel’s fault**make sure to ask for a room away from the pub next door. They have an outdoor area that is LOUD until after 1 or 2am. This is a dorm room. It’s bare. They offer 1towel per person, shampoo and soap and toilet paper. You may use the gym and pay laundry. The bed was very comfortable, though. The area around the hotel had lots of choices for food and beverage within walking distance.

You pay for what you get. If you are just using this space as a place to rest your head at night fine. There was one lady at the front desk who was needlessly rude and unaccomodating but the rest of the staff were great. We did have to purchase our own draino to unclog the shower drain on the first night as the lady at the front desk wouldnt do anything. There was a layer of dust on everything when we arrived and dead bugs in the window sill but again, you pay for what you get. The fan in the bathroom didnt work so it was very humid after a shower.

It's just a student accommodation thats been opened up for use during the summer. It's a nice area. Felt very safe and has some food and shopping nearby. Probably a 20 minute walk from the station and city centre. The accompdation was nice, modern and comfortable. Not as good as a traditional hotel and definitely not as quiet/sound proof. When people entered the building the door opening and closing was very loud. They gave me 1 towel for a 4 night and said they'd charge me €5 for a clean towel. So from a hygienic point of view not good at all. It's a cheap enough accommodation but wouldn't stay again. It did what I needed it to.

So, this is not the most glamorous stay by any means. You are in a college dorm and so things are tight. However, for housing in Dublin right now, it is a very, very good value. The area felt safer than much of the city and was close to a bus station. The communal area was also very nice. And the hot water really works!

My stay was fun, the kitchen and living room had everything needed to have a warm and welcoming stay. The bedrooms were spacious but very dusty in certain places but overall well cleaned. A lot of space in the The Residence to be entertained in door and outdoor. The staff was more than accommodating and help. I’d like to shout to Fin and Simone for their excellent customer service, as well as Aaron for being an absolute Peach and loving to learn about Canadian culture.
