Who This Residence Suits (and Who Should Look Elsewhere)
This three-bedroom apartment in Springfield, Dublin 24 offers shared student living in a residential area southwest of the city centre. It is listed as a non-ensuite room within an “independent house” — meaning you share the bathroom, kitchen, and living area with other tenants. The property includes basic amenities: a refrigerator, a heater, and laundry facilities.
This residence suits:
- Students who prefer a quieter suburban neighbourhood rather than the busy city core. Springfield is a largely residential zone with local shops, parks, and bus connections.
- Those who are comfortable sharing common spaces with two other flatmates. The unit type is a 3-bedroom apartment, so you will have your own bedroom but share the rest.
- Budget-conscious students who are looking for a room in a self-contained house rather than a large purpose-built complex. The city’s starting monthly price for student housing is around €219 (indicative — confirm with the operator), and this property may fall in a similar range, though its exact price is not publicly listed.
This residence does not suit:
- Anyone needing an ensuite bathroom or a private kitchen. The room is non-ensuite and the apartment is shared.
- Students who rely heavily on the landlord or management for immediate on-site support. One reviewer described check-in as “messy” and noted a lack of live communication beyond generic messages.
- Those who require air conditioning in summer or central ventilation. The property does not list these, and a review mentioned “poor ventilation and no central air co”.
- First-year students who want a fully managed, all-inclusive experience with a dedicated front desk. This is a house, not a large residence hall.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews provide a mixed picture. Positive reviewers highlight friendly staff and a convenient location; the negative review focuses on poor management and check-in issues.
Blendi Berisha ★★★★★
“I stayed here during my studies, and I had a very positive experience there. The staff were always friendly, responsive, and helpful, which made a real difference throughout my stay. A special mention to Dan, who was very friendly. It was reassuring to know that any issues or questions were handled quickly and professi”
Natalie ★☆☆☆☆
“The worst experience ever. Very poorly managed place with no respect for the residents. Messy check in procedure, no live communication- they only send generic messages via Booking. Some people had to stay outside for the whole night because they couldn’t get the keys on check in. Poor ventilation and no central air co”
Carol Lc ★★★★★
“I’m having a great experience at this student accommodation. First of all, the location is excellent — it’s just a 20-minute walk from the city centre and very well connected to public transport and nearby universities, which has been super convenient. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained. There’s also a”
Takeaways:
- Location is praised as convenient by Carol, who says it’s a 20-minute walk from the city centre and well-connected to public transport and universities.
- Staff responsiveness seems inconsistent: Blendi found them friendly and helpful; Natalie experienced the opposite.
- Check-in procedure appears to be a pain point — the absence of live support caused one person to wait outside all night.
- Cleanliness and maintenance are positively noted by Carol, but Natalie mentions poor ventilation.
Given the small sample (3 reviews out of 141 total Google ratings, average 4.1), the overall Google score suggests a generally positive experience for most residents, but the negative feedback should not be dismissed.
Price Positioning and Room Type Guidance
The exact monthly rent for this room is not published in the listing data. For context, the lowest available student accommodation price in Dublin is around €219 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This figure covers a range of room types and locations, so a room in a shared house in Springfield could be above or below that baseline depending on size, condition, and inclusions.
Room type: non-ensuite (shared bathroom) in an independent house. This differs from purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) which often includes communal facilities, events, and 24/7 staff. An independent house means you will have a tenancy agreement with a private landlord or a small management company, not a large student housing operator.
What is included?
- Refrigerator
- Heater
- Laundry facility (likely a washing machine within the house or a shared laundry room)
No mention of bills (electricity, water, internet) — you may need to pay these separately. Always confirm utility costs with the operator before signing.
Who should choose this type?
- Students who want a more “local” living experience in a typical Irish suburban home.
- Those who are used to sharing a space with a small number of flatmates and prefer a quieter environment.
- Students who plan to stay for multiple semesters and want more stability than short-term student halls.
Booking Timing and Availability
The listing currently shows a “not_available” tag, indicating that this specific room is not taking new bookings at the time of this review (2026). The available_from field is null, so there is no scheduled date for reopening.
For Dublin student housing, the main booking cycle runs from November to August for the following academic year (2026/2027). Since this room is not available right now, your options are:
- Check back periodically — landlords sometimes release vacancies mid-semester if a tenant leaves early.
- Contact the operator directly via the listing platform to ask about future availability.
- Consider other similar houses in the Springfield area or elsewhere in Dublin 24, which often have rooms available at similar pricing.
If you are looking for accommodation starting in September 2026, start searching as early as January 2026. The best rooms (good condition, fair price, reliable management) are often taken by March. Last-minute searches in August may yield fewer choices.
Is the location convenient for universities?
The property is in Springfield, Dublin 24, about 20 minutes’ walk from the city centre according to one reviewer. It is well-connected by public transport. Major Dublin universities:
- Trinity College Dublin – approximately 30–40 minutes by bus or Luas (light rail) + walk.
- University College Dublin – about 30 minutes by bus.
- Dublin City University – about 40–50 minutes by bus. These are typical commute times for students living in the south-west suburbs. If you prefer a shorter journey, look for rooms closer to the city or your campus.
What bills are included in the rent?
The listing data does not specify whether utilities (electricity, heating, water, internet) are included. Given that it is an independent house, bills are likely separate and shared among tenants. Confirm this with the operator before booking. The only listed amenities are a refrigerator, a heater, and laundry facility.
How reliable is the management based on reviews?
Mixed. The average Google rating is 4.1 from 141 reviews, suggesting most residents had a positive experience. However, the single 1-star review describes a chaotic check-in and poor communication. If you are booking remotely, you may want to request a video tour and ask for a clear check-in procedure in writing. A responsive operator should answer your questions before you commit.
