Destiny Student - Parkgate

Perfect location to access Heuston station and the luas metro line. Also nearby phoenix park. It’s a cheap stay and the room is very basic but nice. We had an issue in the mornings, the water was turned off and we couldn’t brush our teeth, use the shower or wash our hands. Aside from this it would be ideal if you’re looking for a cheap stay/ are backpacking.

The place was filthy. They give you one thin towel. I asked for a fan twice and both broken. For $200, this is absolutely unacceptable. I cannot remember the last time I had such an awful experience. $200 you think you could at least offer a shower towel. You cannot charge prices like that for experiences like that. AWFUL!

Close to Phoenix Park, comfortable rooms, can be quite warm so remember to ask for a fan at reception

Decent in price, clean, safe, basic modern student dorm accommodation.

Do not stay here, this host blatantly lied about the size of the accommodation. My wife and I took at trip to Dublin and it was only the two of us. We found a place that seemed nice and slept two. When we got there we were shocked that the place only had 1 single bed. We contacted the host to help and they said the dimensions of the bed were big enough to be a 2 person bed but that was not realistic. We had to leave the unit and find a hotel to stay at instead. In my opinion, this host lied about the size of the bed in order to get more couples to book their rental, then they refuse to refund when they get caught lying. Leaving travelers like us stuck in a city with no where to stay. This host is untrustworthy, and will protect themselves in the fine print. Do not stay with them and save your money, otherwise they will fine ways to ruin your travel experience like they did for us.

This is student accommodation which is repurposed during the holidays so what you get is basic. I was on my own so the bed size was ok but would have been an issue had there been two of us. The room is tiny. The facilities like hot water for tea are in the main entrance so I didn’t explore that. There was nothing wrong with the rooms… they just are small and basic so if you’re ok with that, these rooms might save you done money on a Dublin trip. This was the only room I could get over the “Taylor swift” weekend which made €222 for 2 night seem cheap. On any other weekend I think that would be pricey for what you get. If you drive - on street parking is available. See photo for details.
