Residence Overview
This property is a room within an eight-bedroom apartment located at Dermville, Old Dublin Rd, Stillorgan, Dublin. The listing is managed through the Amber platform and is categorised as a non-ensuite room in an independent house. The address places it in the Stillorgan area, roughly midway between University College Dublin (UCD) and the Sandyford business district, with convenient access to the N11 road and Stillorgan village amenities. The apartment includes a refrigerator, heater, and laundry facilities, as indicated by the listing tags.
No resident reviews are available for this specific listing at the time of writing, so the assessment below is based on the property’s configuration, location, and the broader Dublin student housing market. The city of Dublin has around 50 student housing listings on the platform, with a published “from-price” of €219 per month (the lowest available price across all listings). The price for this particular unit is not listed (shown as null for both min and max price), meaning prospective tenants must confirm the exact monthly rent directly with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits
Students seeking a budget‑friendly shared living arrangement – An eight‑bedroom apartment typically offers lower per‑person rent compared to studio or one‑bedroom units. Given Dublin’s high rental costs, sharing with seven other residents can bring the monthly cost closer to the city’s base level. If the price here aligns with or is slightly above €219 (indicative – confirm with the operator), it could be an economical choice for students who prioritise affordability over privacy.
Self‑contained household with no ensuite requirement – The room is non‑ensuite, meaning you will share bathroom and kitchen facilities with the other residents. This layout suits those who are comfortable in a communal living environment and do not need private bathroom access.
Students at University College Dublin – Stillorgan is within walking distance (approx. 25–30 minutes on foot) or a short bus ride (routes 46A, 145, 155) from UCD’s main campus. It is also reasonably close to Dun Laoghaire and the Stillorgan Luas stop (Green Line) offers connections to Dublin city centre and Trinity College Dublin. For UCD students, the location is practical for both lectures and evening social life.
Residents who value in‑house amenities – The presence of laundry facilities (shared washer/dryer) and a heater are practical for long‑term living. The refrigerator provided in the kitchen is standard for a shared apartment.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
Those who require ensuite or private bathroom – This is a non‑ensuite room, so you will share common bathrooms with the other seven flatmates. If personal hygiene space is a priority, consider studio or ensuite units available in Dublin, which typically start around €350–€450 per month (indicative – confirm with the operator).
Students who need a short‑term lease – The listing does not specify a minimum lease term (min_lease is null). However, shared houses often require a 12‑month commitment in Dublin. If you are only staying for a semester or less, check directly whether the operator offers flexible contracts.
Anyone who prefers a quieter, low‑occupancy setting – Eight flatmates can lead to higher noise levels and more competition for shared spaces (kitchen, bathroom). If you require a calm study environment or have a sensitive schedule, a smaller shared house (2–4 bedrooms) or a single‑person unit may be better suited.
Budget‑conscious students seeking a known price upfront – The absence of any listed price (min_price null, max_price null) is a disadvantage for budget planning. You cannot compare it directly with the city’s €219 from‑price without contacting the operator. Other listings on the platform clearly show prices, making them easier to evaluate.
Price Positioning & Room Type Guidance
Dublin’s “from‑price” of €219 is the lowest advertised monthly rent across all student properties on the platform at the time of data collection. This figure typically applies to a shared room or a very basic non‑ensuite in a larger apartment. Prices for a room in an eight‑bedroom non‑ensuite apartment like this one usually fall in the range of €250–€380 per month in Stillorgan area, but that is an estimate based on market averages – the exact rent for this unit is not provided in the data and must be confirmed with the operator.
The room type is listed as non_ensuite and independent_house. An independent house means the building is a standalone house rather than part of a purpose‑built student accommodation block. This often results in a more homely feel, but also means the management is likely a private landlord or a small agency, which can vary in responsiveness.
Room‑type guidance for prospective tenants:
- If you book a room in this eight‑bedroom apartment, you will have one private bedroom, shared kitchen and living area, and shared bathrooms (typically two or three bathrooms for eight people, depending on the layout – confirm with the operator).
- Check whether the room comes furnished (the listing does not explicitly state furniture, but most student rooms in Dublin include a bed, desk, chair, and wardrobe; ask before signing).
- The “not_available” tag in the data is ambiguous – it may indicate that as of the data pull (mid‑2026) the unit was not available for new bookings, or that certain features (e.g., Wi‑Fi, parking) are not available. Always verify current availability and features with the operator.
Booking Timing and Availability Note
The listing carries a tag “not_available”, which could mean that the room is currently occupied, temporarily off‑market, or not bookable through the platform. In the Dublin market, rooms in shared houses often become available in June–August for the September academic year. If you are looking for accommodation starting in September 2026, you should start contacting operators in early 2026 (February–March) for the best selection. However, given the “not_available” signal on this particular unit, you may need to bookmark it and check back, or contact the operator directly to ask about future vacancies.
Booking timing for Dublin student housing generally follows this pattern:
- January–March: Early bird releases for purpose‑built accommodation (often at higher prices).
- April–June: Most shared houses and private apartments advertise rooms for the next academic year.
- July–August: Last‑minute openings, but selection is limited and prices may be higher.
For this specific listing, because no price or availability date is published, the safest approach is to reach out to the operator as soon as possible to ask about:
- Current vacancy status
- Monthly rent and deposit (deposit amount is also null in data)
- Lease duration (minimum term)
- Whether viewings are possible (virtual or in‑person)
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: What is the exact monthly rent for this room?
The data does not include a specific price (min_price and max_price are both null). The city’s from‑price is €219, but this is the lowest across all Dublin listings and may not reflect this unit. You must contact the operator (via the Amber platform or the property manager) to obtain the current rental price. Treat any estimate as indicative – confirm with the operator.
H3: Is this property currently available for booking?
The listing includes a tag “not_available”, which likely indicates that as of the data snapshot (July 2026) the room is not open for new reservations. However, the interpretation of this tag depends on the operator. You should verify directly with the provider to know whether it will become available later (e.g., for the 2026/27 academic year) or if it is permanently off‑market.
H3: How far is this residence from major Dublin universities?
- University College Dublin (UCD): Approximately 1.5 km (20–30 minutes on foot, 10–15 minutes by bus).
- Trinity College Dublin (TCD): About 7 km (30–40 minutes by public transport via the 46A bus or Green Line Luas from Stillorgan).
- Dublin City University (DCU): About 12 km (45–60 minutes by bus, requiring a connection to the 17 or 16 route). Stillorgan is well served by bus routes, and the Luas Green Line (Stillorgan stop) provides fast access to city centre and TCD.
