Destiny Student - Parkgate

Nice and clean

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

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!

Good standard for price, room was a bit dusty but otherwise clean. Great location

Would definitely be in my top two as far as places to stay.

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

The room is ok, cleanliness could be better in communal areas.

There is a kitchen in each apartment as advertised but your not allowed to use it, an email was sent out to tell people not to use the kitchens as they don’t advertise them although they do.

This property was excellent to stay at. The rooms were clean with plenty of space to sit your stuff down on and even unpack if you were there for a few days. The bed was comfy, but the pillows were very flat, so this could be improved on. The area felt extremely safe and even had multiple scans to go from building to building. It was within a 5 minute walk to two of the hop on and hop off bus tours pickup and closely located to pubs and a small convenience store to get food and drinks. It was also a 8 minute walk from the Dublin Express that gets you to and from the airport.

Rooms were big and clean. Staff was helpful and property was safe. Good amities but no television in room.

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.

This is great for an affordable few nights in Dublin.

The accommodation is a block of student flats which are rented out when students aren't there; as such it's very well kept and secure. It's impossible to get into any part of the complex without a keycard, which is a really nice reassuring touch. The bedrooms and communal areas are all clean and well maintained, and everyone was friendly.

Location wise you are a little out of the city centre here, but the area is quiet and it's very easy to get around by bus, tram or train - the nearest bus & tram stop is a 5-10 minute walk and the train station is only a few minutes further. There are local pubs, cafes and restaurants a street or two away and everything else is easily accessible via public transport.

It's important to know that this will be a no-frills experience - the rooms are small with no TV or kettle; there's no option for breakfast; and rather than staff, the people on the reception desk are largely students. They were all lovely but obviously inexperienced. There are no 'extras' - we asked for extra pillows and towels on day one and didn't get any by the time we left. Also information is hard to come by - we were given no guidance on check-out time or any procedures at any point.When we stayed the property had recently been taken over by a new management company, which could explain a little of the disjointedness.

I would definitely stay here again, overall it was positive - and now I know what to expect!

I can not recommend this property. The room was extremely warm at all times and the toilet seat and sink stopper were both broken. I informed reception, but they did nothing to solve the issues.

Vi bodde där 4 nätter rent o snyggt men inga bekvämligheter. Inga xtra kuddar. Inga bestick eller porslin. Städ o bäddn efter 8 dagar sa dom.
En liten flaska duschcreme och en liten champo för 2 pers. Ingen handtvål. Ingen tv på rummen som var väldigt trånga. Smal säng för 2 pers.Långt från centrum.

I would not recommend this property to anyone. The room was very hot at all times (25C ), the toilet seat and the sink stopper were both broken.

Reception was terribly unfriendly,would not call even a taxi.not friendly but Rude.not even a glass I. The room

The location was great and the staff very friendly. The room was tiny and very hot unable to control temperature. There was a communal kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee but no cups or spoons or coffee but the station is nearby with lovely cafes. It is student accommodation and was handy for us for a few days.

Dommage que la literie ne soit pas au rendez-vous.

Too much noise during nigths

Tiny uncomfortable bed! Only 1 pillow each. I have arthritis I was in agony. Begged! For another pillow, toilet roll and towels. Had to ask! No cups at a very poor tea/coffee station. Dirty bins. Staff didn’t seem interested at all, sat with headphones on infront of laptop. Room was far too hot. Couldn’t turn it down. Blind broken , window leaked. Water all over floor ect. So sadly not many positives. Security was great. Guy was very helpful and always checking who was coming in and out. It’s a very Basic accommodation, yet for what we paid! Sadly very expensive for what we god. Not ideal for a couple as bed is too small and against a wall! So anyone with mobility problems like myself will be a problem.
