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.

Perfect for the one night for a family. My brother and I did the cork City marathon and this apartment was perfect for us and our family. Cheap cheerful, we could cook our food which was important.

Dorm rooms
Different experience.but best nights sleep since arriving in Ireland. However, no hot water for my morning shower. I would stay here again but would be sure to check the hot water situation.

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.
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.

Ok budget room
This was ok for being a budget stay. We did not realize it was college campus apartments. Layout was interesting. Each room had separate key which was not ideal with young kids. The floor needed a good mopping and bathroom had a bit of a smell. Beds were comfortable. Service was great, they came right away when light in bathroom went out. Free wifi was amazing. For traveling on a budget this was a good location.

Great value for your money
Considering the fact that the facilities are student dorms for most part of the year, I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the rooms. Quite a low price at a convenient location.

Typical dorm experience
The apartment was located on the campus of UCC which is what we wanted so we could walk around campus. It is far from downtown section but bus service was excellent. The apartment was disappointing as we did not have hot water for the two nights we stayed. We managed one luke warm shower one morning. The apartment was cold and we had to turn on the heat which did help. Several of the dishes in kitchen were not clean and the couches were not comfortable. As well, the stairways are metal so quite noisy when people coming in at night. The bedrooms were nice with double beds so quite spacious for our group

Don't stay here
This is a dormitory not a hotel. Overpriced and very poor quality bedding. Mattresses were disgusting and unclean with sheets that would not stay on the stained and overused mattress that folded like a taco shell when you sat on it. Double bed came with 1 pillow and a used comforter that some student must have had all year. When we asked for another pillow and bedding they took it from a bed in another dorm. No top sheets at all so you find yourself sleeping under a used colleges students bedding. We checked out after 1 night. A hostel would have been a better budget choice.
