Smart use of student accom for a comfy stay!
Had a great stay, the room was clean and the location easy access to the city centre. It had almost everything we needed (including towels for a small fee) except for hand soap in the bathroom. Makes total sense to use this as a hotel during the summer and we would return!

Immaculately clean, quiet place in good area.
Not far from city centre, very clean and modern, with an excellent offering of sockets including USB. Staff were pleasant, the room quiet and spotlessly clean. Despite the noisiest bed in existence, where every small movement caused a racket, my stay was good and I would stay again. With earplugs.

Nous avons adoré rester à Destiny student. Nous avons pu découvrir le cœur de Dublin depuis cette emplacement. Sur place, nous avons utilisé la cuisine et avons été accueillis chaleureusement.

Floors weren’t properly cleaned and the fire alarm went of 12 times from 5.15-6.45 in the morning preventing sleep. Charges hotel prices but did not provide hotel service. Should probably advertise as budget accommodation.

Hi Ainsley,Thank you for your review, we appreciate the feedback. We are budget accommodation and do advertise as such. We do apologize for the inconvenience of the fire alarm, however this was due to a fault in the system and could not be resolved until the fire service responded.Kind Regards,Claire

Great location and shirt walk into the centre. Good secure building, clean and comfortable rooms with plenty of storage and an en-suite but shared kitchen for self caterers, minimal crockery to use. We just wanted board for the duration of our stay and this was cheap and affordable so suited us. Our room was at the front of the building so there was street noise and the LUAS going by every few minutes, Lots of door banging by other guests and thin walls do noise echoed and travelled could hear not ideal for light sleepers.

It's a clean and safe accomodation, the staff is polite and will help you in whatever you need, and also you have touristic places like the Temple Bar at a /- 10 minutes walk. I would remark that the room it's so big and the bed was huge and comfortable.

Real cheap option to the overpriced hotels in Dublin. You Get your own room and bathroom but share the common rooms. I never went in there, so it didn’t mean anything to me. There’s no tv but you can watch tv when you get home!

Overall a good stay with facilities in order and a barebones spartan environment. I got a room with a private bathroom and shower, and it served me well. The only issue I had was that there is no A/C in the unit and since I was traveling in summer it was very hot and when I went to open the window (which only opened a sliver), I could hear the people and traffic from the street. This changes a lot depending on which side of the building you end up facing.

4 nights at Dominic Place student destiny
My overall residence was so great! The receptionists were so friendly and quick to respond and I liked the setting area there. There was a cafe that I thought would be convenient to order from but most of the time was closed. Corridors and lifts were clean all time! As a student, my room was lovely and beautifully designed. It was a bit that bed sheet me couldn’t be served before 7 days and if you want you have to pay 30€. I wish if the price could be more affordable similarly to the trowels rents 3€ because when it’s summer it’s uncomfortable to stay in the bedsheet for more than three days. Thank you dominin place for hosting :)

This property is in a convenient location if visiting Dublin, it is in very close proximity to the city center. The property was spacious for a large family but did not like that the floors of the room were not clean. Also, the room has floor-to-ceiling glass windows with roller blinds. Due to the warm weather, you couldn't really have the roller blinds down for privacy because it will block out the ventilation into the rooms. It was obvious other guests in rooms across the courtyard could see into other rooms, especially at night with the rooms lit. It was awkward when someone in another room was waving to my daughters in their room, I had to roll down their blinds half way

Felt safe. Accommodations were adequate but property needed some attention. Our room was warm at time as the windows were only able to be opened a small bit due to security. They did tent fans for $ 20. Not a very attractive neighborhood however. I think it’s undergoing renovations and it might eventually be nicer. Hope so anyway.

I have enjoyed staying at this place, actually I have stayed longer than I thought, the only thing I would ask is about the amenities, this summer has been extremely hot in Dublin, the place offers fans at the lobby with a rent fee which is fine, but I would prefer if that fee was refundable, just to make the stay more pleasant ;)

First of all, the room itself was fine. It was spacious enough and included a television, refrigerator, toaster and hot water thermos. The gym was satisfactory. The toiletries were available as needed. Unfortunately, the room doesn’t have towels; should be included! The area isn’t very nice. It’s a 12-15 minute walk to get to where you’ll want to be. However, compared to the prices for hotels in the Center I would choose it again.

The bed was one of the most uncomfortable things I've slept on and the shower drain was blocked somewhere so the entire bathroom flooded with water. The room had zero soap anywhere and the front desk said they must have run out. I had no soap provided for my three day stay. The room temperature was incredibly hot as well.
