We booked this via Ryan Air website through Expedia believing that it was a 3 star hotel situated in the grounds of the university. It's not!!!! This accomodation is student accomodation sold to the general public under false trading description. After arriving at the airport , at midnight, amass thousands of other people we eventually found a bus that would take us close to the "Hotel". The walk in the middle of the night was long and scary. We were given the keycard to our room by the night security. When we entered the room we wanted to cry. Instead of the double bedded room, with tea and coffee making facilities we were faced with a students twin bedded room, no kettle etc, only one mirror in the bathroom, not ideal for applying makeup and drying your hair !!! There are no curtains at the window just a plain cream roller blind, and plain cream walls, cheap wood affect furniture with kitchen work tops as the desk/dressing table area. We queried this immediately, the night security man couldn't help, customer care helplines were closed. Next morning reception gave us a kettle, but there were no cups ANYWHERE !!! the so called communal kitchen was cupboard bare !!! We travelled into City Centre, went to Tourist Information and booked ourselves into Cassidy's Hotel, who after hearing of our plight, upgraded us to an executive room for the price of their standard room. Cassidy's was fantastic !!!!!!!! DO NOT BOOK THIS IS YOU ARE EXPECTING A HOTEL - IT IS NOT AND AS SUCH SHOULD NOT BE ADVERTISED AS SUCH !!!!

Good points were the friendly and helpful receptionists , clean towels every day and fantastic breakfasts.
Bad points were the foreign students - mainly Italians who shouted outside the residences late at night/early in the morning as they returned from socialising, the different lot of Italian students who congregated noisily in the courtyard at 4 am on our leaving day with their luggage prior to departure then proceeded to wheel their suitcases over the cobbles past our accommodation, and the trolleys used by the cleaners which bumped noisily over the cobbles early in the morning. This was all heard clearly even with the windows (doubleglazed) shut.

An ideal place for seeing Dublin if you don't want to be in the busy noisey centre.Easy to find from the airport.Situated on the campus with all the sports facilities, and hotel amenities you could ever require....beautiful avenue down to campus...
Ample secure parking, excellent helpful local staff on the reception,very knowledgable.
rooms basic student accomodation but freshly decorated and very clean......bathroom very spacious and a powerful shower to wake you up with gallons of piping hot water.....

club 1843, very impressive and excellent choice of menu both breakfast and lunch,at a good value price,no dinner but out in the town for that.....
Bus to town only $1.00 and plenty of buses.
Taxi back just $10.00 in the early hours......
Missed having a tv/radio in room for company,shared Kitchen with every modern piece of equipment,huge fridge freezer to chill the wine......couches and easy chairs to laze into........
Supermarket short walk away over main road....no problems at all.......

We stayed at this hotel last week. The room was clean, and primitive. Shower only had a curtain, so water always ended up on the bathroom floor. Reminded me of gym school showers. I would consider this a 2 star hotel.

A lot of teenagers there for summer school and were very noisy. Not much supervision (they were rude, noisy and didn't seem to care).

The hotel was a bus ride from Dublin, but nothing to do in the immediate area as far as restaurants. The next time I'm in dublin I would try to stay in the city.
