Most helpful review

Kavanagh Court is a modern student oriented building. The rooms are well designed and the kitchens are equipped with up to date furnishings. The staff are friendly and eager to help. Lots of common spaces which are easy to access. Located along major transport lines and within walking distance from Trinity College. I really enjoyed my time at Kavanagh Court!

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.

3 months to succeed in using the circuit laundry app (had to ask every time to a roommate), with at the beginning some staff who did not want to show how it works or help with the bug. Didn't know properly that there will be a kitchen not managed by cleaning staff at all (and no option to visit the apartment before moving) We have to book for the terrace for ex, it would be better to access it without booking It would be good to have plates and cleaning material provided Not correctly advised there was Netflix in each apartment (thought we had to book the cinema room every time) However, nice staff for most of the time

Kavanagh Court is the perfect option to experience everything a good student accommodation should have. The staff is friendly and welcoming, always helpful. The building in itself is modern and perfectly located to navigate the city. Bedrooms are very cosy and I would strongly recommend to make them cosier and personal by putting up posters, pictures. Sharing the kitchen with people is a good way to make friends and experience how diverse Dublin is.

1: Central heating didn’t work from mid October to almost February. Management did not do anything and, of course, did not offer any alternative. They just kept saying to wait and that they could not do anything. 2: Why the need to book open spaces like rooftop or simply the Hoover. I do not know one day in advance if I want to use the rooftop at 1 pm or if I could use the Hoover at exactly 10:30 am. Related to this, the Hoover is never in time to pick it up and it’s been missing for a week and management do not know who has it. 3: Common spaces lack of amenities, the first weeks we use to have a giant chess board which right now is missing. Also a big net so that people could play voleyball. 4: the gym bar has been taken to reception a few times and they were unable to fix it, they just put it back a week after saying they have fixed it. 5: When a parcel comes, you need to wait until kavanagh sends you and email and e in the correct parcel collection time to collect it.

Kavanagh Court is an ideal place for students. The room has plenty of storage, plenty of outlets and lighting and a perfectly sized desk. The bathroom is incredible and the kitchen has so many new appliances. The internet is really high speed which worked out well since most of the classes this year were remote. They also offer free cancellation and offered two weeks free in the beginning of the year to students who had to isolate. It was such a stress reliever. The staff is really friendly and the location cannot be beat!

I would highly recommend Kavanagh Court. The location is fantastic, being in the city centre, you're only a stone's throw away from everything and only 15 mins walk from campus! The staff are welcoming and the maintenance team on site are great!

I really love living here! It's the perfect location to my college and the supermarkets and shops are close by. The building has really friendly staff and cool rooms for us like a roof with a gorgeous view, a gym, games rooms and study rooms. The staff are super friendly and always try to fix things or help out asap.

I really enjoyed my stay at Kavanagh, unfortunately, we couldn't use the common spaces too much due to the pandemic but the team really tried hosting several virtual events throughout the year.

This last year in Kavanagh has been great. Even during a pandemic they have been able to keep up the expectations. While the price is high, it is definitely worth it for the security of tenure. In addition, you get maintenance in less than 48hours after you have flagged an issue, which in my experience has always been even faster; and there is someone 24/7 in reception ready to help or even just have a chat with. The staff have been fantastic, they are always friendly and go above and beyond for you. Last but not least, having so many students living together really gives you the full student experience and it has become a great sense of community, which has been possible as a result of all the nice communal areas, like games room, or my favourite, the roof terrace.

Things in my room were broken for weeks, which wouldn’t be such a big deal if the place wasn’t cheaply made and beginning to fall apart. The cleaning schedule left a lot to be desired even if there wasn’t a pandemic. Not the “luxury apartments” it claims to be in the slightest
