The rooms were clean and bigger than I expected. For the price, this stay was amazing. WiFi was excellent. The staff lady was very nice. Five stars. +++++

Check in was a bit confusing as we arrive late and it was dark. Google Maps was not accurate.

This is a perfect choice for those wishing to avoid the high prices and hectic atmosphere of Dublin, yet still be able to easily get into the city without a rental car. Stunningly beautiful and quiet college campus located in the lovely small town of Maynooth. It is an experience in itself, far different than a hotel. Early morning walks around the campus’ numerous open spaces and adjacent parks was a great way to start the day. Aldi’s grocery is a 10 minute walk, as is the Main Street of Maynooth with all its restaurants, convenience stores, pubs, etc. The train station to Dublin is an easy 10-15 minute walk. The train connects in town with the hubs of other inter-city public transport that will get you to all the places in Dublin you’d like to go. (I recommend the Leap Visitor pass, available at the airport and elsewhere, for a low-cost, all-you-can-ride, tap-and-go card for Dublin’s trains, buses and streetcars. Maynooth falls within its zone of operation!) And if you do have a car and plan on heading west, you’re right on the main motorway to Galway.

The downside is it is a drab college dorm room, with minimal amenities. Toilets and showers are down the hall, but were never busy or full. Very quiet. The campus closes it’s gates at a certain time (around midnight), and the train from Dublin makes it’s last run (around 11pm), so may not be suitable for those inclined to be out late.

The rooms are located right within the campus. And the campus is just absolutely gorgeous! So green, amazing architecture, so serene and beautiful. It’s also very calm and silent so you get to sleep really well. The campus is located 10 mins away from the Maynooth train station by walk(you need to take a bridge with steps), directly accessible from and to Airport via Airhopper and takes about 50 mins. It takes about 50mins - 1h to get to Dublin and not expensive either. The room itself was very comfortable with the view of the garden. Loved waking up to the beautiful views. The rooms are accessible via lift. The staffs at the reception are really nice and friendly and really help with any questions.

The bathroom inside the room was accessible by 2-3 steps, chances of tripping in the middle of the nugget are likely. I unfortunately did not get any hot water in the shower when I had to get to the airport early in the morning and that was really disappointing as it was freezing cold outside and was impossible to take a cold shower. The switches to switch off the lights are no where located close to the bed.

Really a lovely place inside and out. Staff very helpful and friendly.. Bed was exceptionally comfortable with the room warm and fresh towels for your use.. Showers were very refreshing and plenty of hot water…

There was only one thing that I could complain about.The lift was out of order and I suffer from arthritis in my knees and found it very difficult and painful walking up and down the stairs of 3 floors to my room.. Even though the breakdown of the lift was out of the staff’s control.I personally think that a lift is a necessity to any place of lodgings I’m sure if you wanted to pay the extra money on the weekend to get it sorted there was someone you could call.. Just my opinion…

The campus is absolutely stunning. It was a pleasure to be able to stay there. The bedroom and bathrooms were spotless. The campus was still functioning, and there were students on site, but all were friendly as respectful. The staff couldn't do enough to make sure everything was OK. The campus was right in town, walking distance from shops, bars and cafes.

The rooms were quite a distance across the campus from the car park. I had a lot of heavy luggage (as I had all my camping equipment for a motorcycle tour), and I had to make multiple trips. This might also be an issue for those less mobile. The staff did, however, allow me to store a lot of my luggage in reception, which really helped.

The location, the beauty, the simplicity was wonderful.

Only had two issues with my room. One, is that the heater didn’t work and the temperature was quite cool cold and two the room smelt very strong of cleaning products, so for someone who is sensitive? It was almost overwhelming. the clothing I hung in the closet actually smelt like cleaning products when I took them out at my next location. So either best to air the room out or use less toxic cleaning products. And also take into consideration that the temperature was dropping so to give access to the heaters in the room.

Wonderful and very convenient location (quite near to Dublin and to the motorway, Aldi at walking distance), basic room with (clean) shared bathroom, really silent accommodation, private parking

It was not so easy to find the reception in the large area of South Campus (maybe due to my tiredness), luckily after walking everywhere in the area for half an hour a priest accompanied me to the reception. When you pass the main gate of the South Campus there are two archways in front of you, the one on the left has the reception :) Please add the exact reception location in the map you send to the customers :)

Brilliant location, room spotless clean and very comfortable bed, I slept so well, lovely clean shower and toilet facility, my room was right across the hall from both, so absolutely perfect, I was very impressed and have highly recommended to others!

The location, the beautiful surroundings on Maynooth campus, very peaceful and something very spiritual about it, I had the best nights sleep and woke up energised and in great form, I even went for a run around the Maynooth campus, such a lovely spot to run in!

Great location for trip to Dublin. Clean and comfortable beds.

I was on the side of the boiler house this time and so there was noise from this (I think that's what it was). When I lay on top of one of the beds I could feel vibrations (from heating system?). Switched to other bed and thankfully it was OK. Slept fine on that one. The building is very well heated, too hot for me without having the window open (on a cold night). I did adjust the radiator a bit but this was a manual control so not a precise adjustment. It's a great place to stay but just be prepared for it being very warm.

Excellent accommodation at a truely Historic Location - College dating to 1795! I have stayed on my own when travelling to a sporting event and again with my wife - both at the historic Southern Campus. Staff are exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful. Facilities are good and rooms very clean and clearly recently decorated. Heating was very effective. Free Car Parking was also a Plus - unfortunately no longer a standard with holiday / trip accommodation. Maynooth is a quiet town West of Dublin and within striking distance of the City by driving or by Tram or bus. Well served with Restaurants Bars and Shops - small and large. We enjoyed an excellent continental breakfast on Campus. The grounds are amazing - much used by locals for walks. We explored the campus and grounds but unfortunately the Guided Tours we not operating on our last (end of season) visit - we would have loved to visit inside the St Patricks Church. A reason to come back to Maynooth. A big thanks to all the staff who made out stay enjoyable.

No Negatives - happy to recommend Maynooth Camus and we will visit again.
