  • 3/10 Paul ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    from Lurgan , IE  on  August 19, 2008

    "Access to Campus was not explained at all in pre-visit correspondence. I rang the college several times to obtain dorections and the staff used terms familiar, I'm sure to students, staff and alumni, but not to me, and it took me 42 minutes tofrom entering campus by a rear gate to finding the accomodation office. It was night time and lighting overall was very poor. The room was cold and draughty and there was only one towel and no toiletries in the ensuite. The particular room itself was off a poorly lit courtyard and as a result I triped on a step. Not impressed at all" (107235976)

    Good location

    The reception office is hard to find, poor sign posting and staff presume everyone knows the university campus as well as they do. Access to the campus after midnight was very difficult, breakfast was very poor.

  • 7/10 Rosalind ( Family with young children) 

    from Walsall , GB  on  August 8, 2008

    "Costs equivalent to a 3 star hotel in Dublin centre so would expect higher level of provision.But loved atmosphere and staff very pleasant, especially room service." (108096735)

    Location, surroundings, quiet

    Not set up to hotel standard. No mirror in room adjacent to a socket to blow dry hair. Reception couln't help.Very little equipment in kitchen despite being advertised as self-catering.Again student staff not trained to meet customers's requests .

    Central & convenient reasonable value

    almost impossible to find at the end of the campus, poor signs. Instructions given on the key ( pictorial diagram show dark strip facing left when it in fact it needs to be facing right)

    "Honestly, I really don't have a complaint and would use this hotel again for my visit to Dublin. It was clean, friendly, inviting and cheap. What more could I ask for?" (97755353)

    I like the fact that for a couple of days I didn't have to pay a huge rate. The hotel was clean and the staff very polite and friendly. I did not have breakfast because I am not a breakfast person, but I can't imagine it was anything but delicious. I love my stay there.

    I dislike nothing about the hotel. The thing to keep in mind it is a student accommodation used in Summer as a reasonably priced getaway. For that how can you find any faults.

    "Centrally located in Dublin Felt like going back to University Went in early July and there didnt seem to be many people around Only noted a few visitors staying there Should have had a go at the facilties there -15 euros a day Plenty of parking space A hidden gem!!!" (99964940)

    Modern flat,next to the Health centre.Microwave,coffee making facilties

    Bit far from the front gate,when this was closed early in the evening As this is a 40 acre site ,a bit more promient signage would be helpfull

    "Security guard on the gate was a star. All in all we had a blast! Location was excellent." (3305150699)

    Rooms were clean and shower especially awesome.

    "The location of Trinity College was ideal for sightseeing and nightlife. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean with very comfortable beds." (3305140840)

    very clean and great location

    on third floor with no lift

    "I really had to hunt for the mailbox. It would have been helpful to have been given a tour of the campus, and a list of the closest places to eat, and internet access. Each house should have a clock and telephone or at least an emergency line. The bathrooms were not as clean as they could be. Need to be renovated and painted. Missed not having a bathtub.The bedroom was clean, convenient, comfortable, and nicely furnished. Towels and bedding were very good." (3305123539)

    It was centrally located, within walking distance of most things I wanted to see. Attractive campus. Economical.

    In House 34 there was no electric kettle. As I do not know how to work gas stoves, I was unable to even make a cup of tea. There was no clock and no telephone, Lot of noise (sirens, cars, motorcycles)

    It was convenient to city centre. The room was very nice and clean which was a pleasure when arriving late.

  • 8/10 David ( Mature couple)

    Convenience - We were attending a function in TCD Nostalgie - I lived in TCD as a student for two years

    "An enjoyable experience overall." (3305222708)

    Very convenient to the area of Dublin we most prefer. Easy walking distance from Train Station.

    Sometimes the electronic key was a bit tempermental.

  • 9/10 John ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    from Dover , United States;US  on  August 26, 2006

    "Generally, I couldn't have asked for too much more. The college has just about every amenity necessary for a budget traveler. Even on checkout, there's a place to store baggage that's not such a problem. Getting to and from the airport was very easy, too. With minimal research, one can find a seven-euro Airlink bus that does the trick." (3305155637)

    You can't beat the price or the location. Staying on the Trinity campus was actually quite amazing. It's an experience I won't forget and would've never had if I had stayed in a more expensive hotel.

    Just be ready to walk. Depending where you're located on campus, you can walk for upwards of 10 minutes after you arrive back home at the college. Also, obviously, there isn't a TV or radio in the room.

  • 3/10 Tobias ( Mature couple) 

    from Halmstad , Sweden;SE  on  August 21, 2006

    Right in the city-center

    Low standard, no hot water in the shower.

    -Central location.

    -Noicy room, road under. -No cleaning of room in 3 days. -Breakfast was poor. -Distances between room and gates and breakfast room. -Bathroom too little and old fashioned.

    cheap. in a beautiful setting and convenient location

    had to trek across courtyard to deposit my bags before check in. shower facilities were very student - but i suppose thats fair enough

    "We were only stayin for one night and this accomadatoin suited fine" (3304774650)

    Very central location

    No tv, or proper breakfast

  • 7/10 Anonymous ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    on  August 1, 2006

    It was well situated, in the city centre.

    It was difficult to move the suitcases around it, because the ground was very old.

  • 8/10 Tom ( Solo leisure traveller) 

    from Watford , United Kingdom;GB  on  September 20, 2005

    "It did exactly what it said on the tin. A basic room (a bed, a sink and a chair), as student accomodation is, in the middle of the city. No frills but none expected with college rooms The showers were basic but worked. The other comment on this website about no hot water was not found to be true - If you ran the shower for 4-5 minutes the water eventually ran hot Breakfast was tea/cofee, fruit juice, cereal, three croissants/rolls with butter&jam, and fruit salad. Cooked breakfast available at a (small) cost, and the restaurant also did hot lunches, again at a very good price Book of Kells and the Dublin Experience is on site and as its so central you can easily pop back to your room during the day. Nice warm duvet and blanket, beds remade every day. If you`re looking for luxury hotels this is NOT the place but for a safe, secure (I left money cashcards etc in room) room in the most central location it can`t be beaten." (2739844)

    Safe, warm and quiet

    Showers could do with updating

  • 7/10 Peter ( Solo leisure traveller)

    "Basic accomadation that is quiet and right in the centre of town. Great for when other options are booked up due to large sport events etc." (2738867)

    Close to the centre of town

    Clearer signage to main desk. Hard to find where to obtain iron etc

    "I've nothing more to add; it was a bit pricey, but I did get what I paid for." (2555229)

    The location, obviously; no hassle with the usual hotel nonsense, no grinning reception desk, no intrusions from staff, no hokey offers, just a room and a bed and an impossibly good location.

    The blankets were appalling; the bed too narrow; the hot water wasn't.

  • 10/10 Anonymous ( Family with young children) 

    on  August 24, 2005

    It was very central and my older son could easily walk around tourist area. Book of Kells is right there, and restaurants are nearby.

    "This was staying in a 19th century Hall of Residence in Trinity College Dublin. Very good location, close to everything but with the cloistered calm of an old University. E55 is good value for B&B in central Dublin. Check in staff good, clear directions to room and a booklet of instructions. Room a bit bare; bed comfortable everything worked. Communal shower (lots of hot water)/bath/kitchinette - can cook light meals as well as make tea/coffee. Towel and bath mat supplied. Continetal breakfast available - did not sample." (2609151)

    Central location, value for money, interesting surroundings.

    Start Sunday breakfast at 07:30 rather than 08:00

    "Gli eventi culturali irlandesi dovrebbero essere piu' evidenziati." (97165882)

    la centralita' del trinity college

    I ristoranti di Dublino sono troppo cari

  • 8/10 Anonymous ( Young couple) 

    on  July 30, 2007

    la posizione dell'albergo

    l'alto costo della struttura ricettiva

  • 8/10 Marina ( Family with older children) 

    from Rivoli- to , Italy;IT  on  August 30, 2006

    "Sono molto felice di avere soggiornato al trinity college. Il luogo è sereno, affascinante e molto diverso dal solito albergo. Anche se le camere sono molto semplici, sono pulite e spaziose. Il piacere di essere in pieno centro è impagabile. Mi è piaciuto moltissimo assistere allo spettacolo Waiting for Godot..ottimi gli attori!!! Grandissimo Beckett" (3305176465)

    il luogo affascinante. La posizione centrale. l'abbondanza e la qualità del cibo a colazione

    la scarsa pulizia delle stoviglie della colazione e del bagno del locale

  • 8/10 Marie francoise ( Group of adult friends) 

    from Alex , France;FR  on  August 26, 2006

    "situation idéale pour visiter dublin à pied et se mettre tout de suite dans l'ambiance irlandaise - un accueil charmant de jeunes étudiantes - le confort est minimal mais les chambres sont très propres - l'eau est très chaude si on ne l'utilise pas en même temps que tout le monde !" (3304867586)

    très calme - plein centre ville - très bon accueil du personnel - possibilité de consignes de valises -

    petit déjeuner dans le restaurant universitaire - extrêmement bruyant -
