The location was excellent and walking distance from the beautiful English market, shops and restaurants. Since it is a student accommodation I was prepared to a less confort, but our family stay was great. The place super clean and the person working at the registration desk was wonderful. Overall a great experience.

As expected slightly dated student accomodation. Great for price, 3 bedroom apartment perfect location. The only negative is the dated bathroom which I definitely in need of some TLC. Main areas of flat were clean but bathroom could have done with a deep clean. Overall though excellent value and comfortable.

It was a college dorm, on the 3rd floor. So not convenient. On a positive note we were all able to have our own room and full kitchen. It was very clean and quiet.

We stayed here for 3 nights in summer with our 3 kids. It's very good value overall and I would stay here again. The rooms are in need of upgrades, mattresses are lumpy and there were no fans to help with the summer heat. The bathroom feels more like a hostel: very small and no where to put your toiletries. But it's clean, safe, spacious, and staff are friendly. Parking is tight. Laundry is €6 per load. No elevators - so request a ground floor unit if stairs are problematic. Location is fantastic if you're doing anything at UCC or city centre. A nice property to stay with kids because they can run around in the courtyard and have space to spread out in the unit.

There were four of us so it was nice to have more than one room to sleep in. The beds were quite comfortable and the location of the apartments is good. The common area had basic utensils to cook so we didn’t have to eat out all the time. The carpets were sticky so we were wearing shoes all the time. The washroom was terrible. The shower was a small separate room with no place to hang a towel or put your products. The washroom mat was a piece of paper. The water pressure was the worst I have ever seen.

Já sabíamos que era um apartamento de dormitório estudantil. Ficamos no térreo, tinha 5 quartos, todos com guarda-roupas,cama casal pequena, escrivaninha e cadeira, aquecedor e pia com espelho e armário. A limpeza estava boa. Somente o 5 quarto estava com a cortina quebrada e não utilizamos ele. Os colchões eram confortáveis. Tinha toalhas de banho e rosto para todos e sabonete e shampoo sólido. Todo o apartamento( exceto a cozinha e a sala) é com carpete e no corredor está bem gasto e sujo. É bom usar chinelo. A cozinha tem forno, fogão, microondas, geladeira, Torradeira e chaleira elétrica, tem poucos utensílios domésticos. Tem também chá, café solúvel e açúcar. O sofá estava bem desgastado e rasgado. Tem um lavabo e um banheiro com chuveiro. O problema era o banheiro, estava com o ralo totalmente entupido e sujo. O chuveiro era quente. O apartamento tem várias cópias de chaves e são iguais do prédio todo. Você precisa trancar o seu quarto por dentro. Tem estacionamento dentro do condomínio, nós só apertamos o botão que tinha na entrada e alguém abriu a cancela. Não foi enviado nenhuma instrução para o check-in. Nós avisamos que chegaríamos tarde e ninguém respondeu. Ao chegarmos a recepção estava fechada. Ninguém atendia o telefone que constava no site. Então ligamos no número de emergência que tinha na porta e um rapaz veio nos ajudar e nos deu as chaves. No outro dia pagamos na recepção. Ficamos 2 dias e estávamos em 6 pessoas. A localização é muito boa.

Institutional feel

The apartment felt very institutional. Concrete walls, metal doors, sticky floors, beat up furniture and appliances, tv didn’t work (even if it did, the batteries from the remotes had been removed). No direction on how to get into the parking lot or really in how to check in. Beautiful campus nearby, but not much to do.

Enough space but terrible amenities

Didn’t realize this was student accommodation when booking, pictures online were quite deceptive- no pics of the shower and toilet which were not great to say the least. Floor was extremely dirty, could not walk barefoot in apartment - feet were black with dirt in a few minutes. Not the best.

Great location, basic but clean

In a great location within walking distance to city centre, on UCC campus. It is what it is, student accomodation, with layout geared very towards student living. The only real let down is the bathroom which is in a very tight space. There was a great smell of lynx lingering in our bedroom, kitchen was well appointed with everything you need, clean bed linen towels etc. Not a bad spot, we were 4 but could easily have fit 6. Lots of parking and buses just ouside main gate to city.

It works if you're on a budget.

The staff were very friendly, the rooms were definitely dormitories. It wasn't the fanciest, but you get what you pay for. If you are on a budget and aren't picky, this will work for you, but bring an extra pillow and don't walk around barefoot. There are some pretty mischievous children in the area as well. Blarney is a short drive away.

Mostly happy. Good 24 hour service and free shuttle bus to and from centre. Only negatives we can give: no sponge in the kitchen, one bedroom smelt musty and wifi made you login again every few hours with username and password. Overall reasonably happy. Oh, very nice walk along the river next door.

College dorms, more like a hostel...

We broughtnour 4 kids here and ended up not staying and finding another hotel. It is not clear on the listing that these are college dorm rooms. The bathroom was terrible and the whole place was musty and stunk although clean looking. It would be ok if I were in my early 20's and with friends maybe, but nit family friendly. There were lots of young people in groups walking around so mught be fun if you're young but wasn't for us with kids.
