I’ve been living in aspen for 2 months now and have loved it so far! My room was clean on arrival and the shared spaces within the apartment are spacious. The amenities in the building such as the gym and laundry room are of a really high standard and are available 24/7. The staff are all super friendly and keen to improve all residents’ experiences living in aspen. I feel having more hoovers readily available to avoid bringing them outside and in the lifts would be a good improvement. The small events for example the occasional free breakfast at reception are a nice touch and make the living experience even more enjoyable. The location is quite good as well as despite being beside a busy road, there is a Lidl in the building opposite, as well as a local cafe offering discounts to residents. Aspen is also well linked with the 4, 155, 13 and n6 all passing, making it quick and easy to commute to town and college.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Thank you for your very detailed review - I am sure it will help future students make their choice :-)
I have only been here for about a month now but Aspen is really lovely. It is in walking distance from my university and there is a bus stop across the road so I never have any problems making it to class. There are also tons of places around to do groceries, pharmacies and even a little cafe downstairs. The amenities inside the building for eg. the pool and air hockey tables or even the cinema room are nice for when you get bored and the gym has some great equipment to get the job done. The staff is also so friendly.
Thank you so Much for taking the time to leave such a nice review.
Very good accommodation. Really comfortable and modern with super friendly staff, especially the security guy John. Absolutely worth it if u are studying nearby
Thank you so much - John will be delighted to hear your comments. :-)
I’ve had great time living here for the last 2 years.
Thank you for the kind review. We love hearing from repeat students :-)
Very nice place to stay. Good value for money
Thanks for the review! We're thrilled you think we're a great value — we aim to be the place where your wallet and your comfort both have a good time!
Aspen is a great place to live. There are great study rooms, cinema and gym. There are many events where you can meet future friends and exchange experiences about life in Ireland.
Hi, Thank you so much for your lovely Review. We are delighted you are enjoying the events :-)
Excellent geographical environment, shopping and transportation are very convenient! The apartment facilities are very good, the rooms are very modern, and there is a well-equipped gym. I highly recommend this place!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. :-)
Starting off on a positive note, this accommodation is excellent for those who value privacy, they also offer plenty of options. Although the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, the beds are spacious, and the noise and temperature insulation are top-notch. The kitchen space is adequate and well-equipped, and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful. On the downside, having a window restrictor in all rooms may be a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the location might be a bit far for TCD students, although it's perfect for DCU students like myself. Overall, I highly recommend it for both long and short stays, as it's more hassle-free than most other student accommodation services in Dublin. Message ChatGPT… ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important
Thank you for your lovely review. Unfortuanately the Health & safety laws state we need to have these restrictors, but we do understand. Thank you for staying at Aspen.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The security measures are very good. There's a bus stop, a cafe, and a Lidl within a minute walk from the reception.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate it :-)
Great student accommodation, perfect for DCU students
Thank you for sucjh a nice review
The accommodation area is very good!!
Thank you ! Delighted you enjoyed your stay at Aspen.
I really love staying in Aspen, I feel really safe here. However, there is only 5 car parking spaces when there are well over 5 students that drive. I never get a car park spot when I am here and have to park in dodgy areas.
Hi, Thank you for leaving Aspen a review. Unfortunately we do not offer parking at Aspen, any spaces that are available are not within our purview. :-)
various and mixed environment fast fix about student‘s room things
Thank you. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us :-)
Best place for student who are looking for student accommodation best accommodation and facilities for students 10/10
Thank you sooo much for the 5 stars :-)
Overall Experience was fabulous, staff is really very cooperative and help in nature.
Always great to hear the staff are wonderful! We hope you enjoyed your stay at Aspen.
Globally a really good accomodation.
Thankyou for takling the time to leave us a review.
I’m really enjoying staying in Aspen and love using all of their brilliant facilities. Would definitely come back!
Thank you sooo much for the 5 stars. Always great to hear you will be back. Aspen has over a 90% re-booker rate, so we must be doing something right. Thank you for taking the time to leave this amazing review.
Best staff ever, specially the girls working at the reception.
We think so too :-) Delighted you felt comfortable at Aspen with our amazing staff!
This is my third year staying at aspen. Its close proximity to DCU, modern interior & amenities, security and friendly staff made it easy to come back every year. Would highly recommend to current and future students looking for accommodation in Dublin. A special shoutout to Derek (the maintenance guy) for his dedication to the cause.
Thank you for staying with us for 3 years !!!!! It is our pleasure. Yes, Derek is a gem and thank you for mentioning this :-) Hopefully we will see you in year 4 :-)
I have stayed here for 3 years now and i love it, the people are kind and the staff are helpful. Lots of facilities to enjoy, if you are a student, I highly recommend Aspen!!
Thank you this lovely review !
It’s a really cosy place to live
Thank you ! Aspen is a A rated building so its always nice a cosy :-)
A very lovely place to be living in, love the atmosphere and people here from different vicinity, wouldn't have this experience in any other accomodation
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. I am sure it will greatly help others make their decision.
Very nice social spaces and lovely staff
Thank you so much for the great review!
Amazing place Lovely environment
We think so too! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
It is a great place to stay, friendly staff , amazing rooms and superb location. It is truly a home away from home.
Thank you, a home away from home is exactly what we aim for :-)
Real good overall! The common areas and amenities at the highlight of the building. The WiFi (in my room) is not really the best a lot of times, it comes and goes and the gym is lacking in a lot of ways but it’s not a problem, it’s more of an annoyance. I’m happy that I found this place though, it’s pretty comfortable
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We have a paid gym located under the building for something a bit extra, but the free gym located onsite is more for everyday fitness ie threadmills, bikes, rowers, weights etc.
Great facilities, great communial areas, very clean and staff are super helpful especially Marguerite.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We know we have a great building, but even better to know you appreciate the staff!
Great place, great staff and clean apartments. Highly recommend.
I absolutely loved my stay at Aspen Student Accommodation Dublin! From the moment I moved in, the staff made me feel right at home. The room was cozy, and the communal areas were perfect for studying and socializing. The location was ideal, close to campus and great food spots. I can't recommend it enough!
Very safe and enjoyable accomodation with great transport links!
It's a good place to live in. All the staff and the amenities are up to the mark.
Nice experience overall. Supervalue and lidl are very close
To summarise? the craic is mighty. All the team are sound out and everyday is exciting with different events planned and random goodies etc every week.
In city the size of Dublin, Aspen really buffers the lifestyle shock that comes with moving to a big European City. The space is efficient, warm, comfortable and hosts a multitude of activities and amenities. The location is ideal and gives you access to a next door cafe, a supermarket which is 1 minute away and a bus stop which is less than a minutes walk! Great value for money and the staff are wonderful!
The accomodation is good for how much we’re paying I wish when I put in a problem in the system it would get done quickly.
love it, room is a bit hot though.
It's the most welcoming place I've ever lived in
Awesome spaces. Amazing rooms and great facilities
Very nice place. Very good for social
Great place to stay and enjoy your accommodation in Dublin.
I came into Aspen in Ballymun through a friend and enjoyed a party where they had pizza and drinks on the night. I have been in Aspen a few times since then and Marguerite has been very welcoming with all the staff being so helpful. I couldn't recommend Aspen enough as a place to stay when studying.
I recently stayed at this student accommodation, and I am thoroughly impressed. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable living space. The security and management team ensured my safety and promptly addressed any concerns. The accommodation's central location near campus and amenities made my student life convenient. What stood out the most was the sense of community . From organized events to study rooms, there were ample opportunities to socialize and make friends. This accommodation offers an exceptional living experience for students. Its top-notch facilities, security, convenient location, and vibrant community make it an ideal choice. I highly recommend it to any students.
Modern facilities and excellent public spaces created a good living experience.
Great place to live, accommodation is amazing looking but the staff are not helpful, issues are never resolved.
A little expensive. a direct bus line to DCU Room key designs don't make a lot of sense. Except that other facilities are good, especially the bathroom is grand.
Living in Aspen was a wonderful experience for me. The accomodation has tons of great amenities including a gym, cinema room, large common area and more. The staff at Aspen is extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend this accomodation for anyone studying in Dublin, and looking for a place to call home.
Aspen was a lovely place to stay with nice staff. Have recommended to lots of people
Excellent stay and very friendly staff
Loved my hassle-free stay at Aspen. Lidl is right next to the property. DCU is at a walkable distance. Cibelle and Derek were very helpful and kind. Thanks for having me there.
Love Aspen, friendly staff always helpful and great vibe
The staff is helpful and friendly, always available to address my queries. The building is massive and very modern. The well furnished rooms are cozy and I had my own bathroom. The facilities are great and well equipped: gym, study room, laundry and cinema room. My experience was above my expectations. :)
Great experience living here as a student. A place to hang around. Great reception especially cebelle, she has helped around a lot.
Staying at aspen was amazing. The facilities are great (gym , study room, vending machines, games room etc. which is great for students.The staff are lovely and so welcoming from the get go ; always trying to help the best the can. The atmosphere is great with people from all backgrounds which was great. Overall staying here was a great decision and ill definitely be booking again.
Good facilities but will wring your wallet dry. Bombard you with payment emails and charge 5 times more to replace a lost/stolen keycard than anywhere else. They do not supply simple appliances such as toasters and kettles or cleaning items such as vacuum cleaners, a brush, or a mop. I would not recommend aspen to a friend as there is simply better value for money out there. Aspen should only be a last resort and if you don’t mind overpaying.
Best student apartment in Dublin among any other I lived or visited. Fairly new facilities, quite rich activities and excellent service&management. Feel so lucky spending my master year here.
Very friendly environment , great facilities and excellent staff. Location is in the heart of unlimited resources . Overall very happy with my experience
Very clean place and nice staff.
Great facilities, lots of transport right outside the door, supermarkets, chemists and takeaways only metres away… couldn’t recommend it enough!!! All staff are so kind and friendly and ensure each student is looked after!
Great place to live, 15 mins walk from DCU, bus stop right outside, lovely caring and supportive staff.
Really Cool and Modern Student Accommodation, Great location just down the road from DCU. Lidl right next door and roof top terrace AMAZING! Staff are great and would defo recommend.
