This was our first stop visiting Ireland. We didn't need anything fancy. This was a very small dorm…read moretype room with an ensuite. On the second floor the window was able to be opened about 2-3 inches. The campus was gorgeous and very peaceful tucked away from the hustle of Dublins centre. It is walkable if you are up for it. We were a bit overwhelmed learning to drive on the wrong side so appreciated being able to park there and walk places to take public transit. Breakfast in the hall was wonderful. The reception workers let us store our bags since we arrived early and were very willing to provide suggestions. The building was very historic and was neat to roam and take pictures. Highly recommend if you are on a budget. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Handicapped accessible. Card entry to rooms. Would stay again.

Trinity Hall is an interesting establishment…read more It certainly does the job, and it is very close to the 128 bus which will get you to school. The bus is right there, which is basically it's greatest strength. The place itself is kinda falling apart - or maybe that's just my place. For example, we have door falling off the hinges in our kitchen, and we have a very, very small refrigerator to share amongst 7 post-grads. Our Warden is nice, and we've never had any trouble with security or anything, so that's good. For me it's way too expensive, but that's because a lot of pour money goes to socializing events attended mostly by undergrads. As a post-grad, I feel quite a bit out of place to be honest.

I spent a months living in the accommodation and was amazed at the lack of respect the employees…read moregive to the resident of the Y. The manager is never present on site, leaving the workers to sit around with no leadership. The location of the residence is in a great spot, but the food is very hit-or-miss at best, and meal times are very restricted. Laundry is provided, but for 6 euro per wash and dry. Wifi is spotty depending on the room you get. Fortunately I had wifi, but some of my friends rooms did not. PLEASE READ ALL FINE PRINT ON YOUR CONTRACT! There is plenty of fine print that they will use to get your security payment back. Overall, there are plenty of places to stay in Dublin that won't be as much of a headache.

When class is not is session, Trinity College lets out its student housing to visitors…read more They have several buildings spread across the campus. I would describe the rooms as spartan but clean, quiet and comfortable. The location can't be beat. The room I got included a private bathroom with a shower. There's no TV or any amenities like that. The bed is small but good enough for one person. They also have an excellent wifi network across the campus that you get access to when you stay here. I paid 59 euros a night for my room here in the peak tourist season in August. They list on booking.com so you can reserve from there is you like. If you're a budget traveler and just want a place to sleep at night and shower in the morning, you should consider this place.
