Destiny Student - New Mill

Property very safe with key fob access at every door & gate. Reception staff were helpful. I had one of the double rooms for 2 nights. I enjoyed my stay. 20 min walk to central Dublin and it's a nice easy flat walk. The surrounding area seemed safe and quiet. There were some unusual bumps at night! But I used earplugs, just seemed to be a lot of activity in the apartment block also, the bed was a bit lumpy but nothing I couldn't sleep on and through. The bathroom wasn't squeaky clean but these are uni apartments being used for rooms off season so that makes sense. Overall really happy and would come back. Thank you

I liked everything about the property. The only complaint I have is that one of the front desk people (a male) who worked there in the early morning of August 16, 2023, was quite rude to me. Our shower had flooded the bathroom floor because the drain wasn't draining properly. I went to the front desk to let them know and to get help. I was quite panicked and didn't know my room number immediately. The male was obviously irritated that I could only give him the apartment number and the floor, but not the building, although I did point it out. After a few minutes, I realized I had the key in my hand and gave it to him. The key had the room number on it. The male then rudely said to me that "oh, you had the key all along". He then proceeded to give me two towels, and didn't seem to take seriously my warning that our bathroom floor was flooded. Two towels would not have been enough to clean up the flooding. He did not tell me he would notify any maintenance workers to help. Fortunately, when I returned to my suite, two maintenance workers were outside the suite as they had independently noticed the flooding from the suite below us. I am certain they hadn't been notified by the rude front desk male. They helped us clean up and fix the drain. The two maintenance workers were fantastic and very kind, telling us it wasn't our fault that the bathroom flooded. So overall my experience was great, but for the one rude male. He had short brown hair and appeared to be in his twenties.

For a budget option this place does the job and is in a very good location (5 mins to St Patricks Cathedral). It’s kept budget by having certain facilities as payable extras, like towels and room fans. My only issue is that the floor was a bit dirty and it was very noisy with suitcases in the courtyard at all times of the night though so it just depends on how much you value having an open window at night.

My main complaint is the charge for leaving a small backpack three hours before the checking (5 euros per bag). The kitchen in the common area was full of rubbish, rest of foods. Staff friendly.

My daughter and I stayed in a unit that had a kitchenette. The kitchenette was fully functional - dishwasher, frig, convection/microwave, stove top, oven, pots, fry pan & electric tea kettle.

The staff were all wonderful. The property is a hostel plan accordingly overall good stay
