Novelty Factor: You’re staying on a college campus; not just any college though, Trinity College where great scholars went.

Check-in

Check-in is from 2p onwards. If you arrive earlier and your room is clean you can move in at no extra charge. If your room is not ready, you can store your stuff, go sightsee and/or have a pint of Guinness and come back later.

The students are very helpful and eager to help you. I was given my key and headed up to my room which was in the same building as the Accommodations Office.

The Property

The property is Trinity College in the heart of Dublin right across from the Dublin Parliamentary office. You can’t really ask for a more central location. They have single rooms, double rooms and then rooms of three rooms sharing a bathroom. In the latter, each person has their own key so you can lock your room. You just share a shower, toilet lounge area and kitchen.

The Room

The rooms are very simple, a bed, a table, a chair and a closet; done! But that’s all you need right? The bathroom and toilet is shared with two others depending on the room you have. Some rooms are ensuite; i.e. has your own bathroom and toilet.

Breakfast

You can opt for breakfast or not. If you do, they have a place on campus where you go to take breakfast. If not, you have a fully functional kitchen so you can cook whatever your heart desires. There a microwave and an oven so you can just buy stuff at the nearby Tescos grocery store.

Check Out

Checking out is simple. Just leave before 10a and you’re done.

Verdict

Great value for money; you’re in the heart of the city and you get to take photos of Trinity College when there’s no one around. You just have to get up early :-).
