Maynooth Serviced Studios

The room its self was lovely

Location & Facilities

The room was nice and it was lovely to have a kitchenette cleverly stored behind doors. It had everything we needed and it was clean.

The room was smaller than what I thought I had booked. Please make sure to use accurate pictures of each studio room so that there are no mix ups when booking.

Perfect for a stay in Maynooth

Good location. Beds very comfortable. Had room at back of building- very quiet

Blinds need replacing. Place could do with a repaint & stairs carpet cleaned of stains

Location very central

Nothing

The location is right on Main Street and walking distance to most things you’d need in Maynooth

The apartment had no airflow, with signage on the windows requesting you don’t open them. The tap in the kitchen was basically falling off. There was black mould on the bathroom walls, probably because of the airflow. There were no instructions on how to lock the front door and at one point we were told there were lost keys and requesting that no one’s locks the entrance. Security was bad and the entry to the apartment was via an electronic lock which was also loose and basically falling off. Questions and or statements to staff went unanswered regarding the front door and no existent internet connection on the wifi.

Perfect location in Maynooth right on the main street. Clean and comfortable room.

We were allocated room No.5 which is at the top of the building. 4 flights of narrow stairs to navigate each flight between 6-10 steps. We were forwarded all the self check-in details which were easy to access the property. Our room was unlocked which was odd as we weren't the only guests staying at the property. We were also sent all the WiFi info to access the free WiFi. The television in this particular room can only be accessed via the Internet. We tried numerous times on both of our phones but we couldn't connect at all. Shortly after we arrived we messaged the host Julie and advised her that we were having trouble connecting to the WiFi to access the television. We also contacted the phone number provided by the host for any help we may need. We called 3 times and left 3 voicemails. We were booked in for 2 nights. The host didn't have the common decency to reply to our message or voicemail. Having read through some reviews on this property, we noticed other guests had highlighted the WiFi issues and particularly room 5. I am assuming that the hosts are aware of the issue and I found it very unprofessional that they ignore their guests when they have issues with the facilities etc. The other issues I had was the state of the roller blind in the room, it has seen better days. There is only 1 very small section of the window in this room that opens and is useless on warm nights. Having stayed at this property previously which I rated excellent. It has been very disappointing this time.

Very convenient location. Good and clean

Price. I appreciate it’s the market and what customers are willing to pay but I just came from love where a beautiful room, with a sea view and high quality buffet breakfast including a raft of juices, warm and cold food, even a honeycomb platter was 25€ cheaper. The pricing is absurd and driving tourists away

Location

The way you get in or luckily get in. Was informed to collect key from box and no keys so sat outside. Luckily someone staying opened door. Once in room the heat was ridiculous no aircon even though it says there is. Electric door beeped every 30 secs throughout the night and the so called 24/7 service that Julia says is absolutely bull s**t excuse the language and the number they provide never gets beyond engaged sound

the location can't be beat

a little confusion during check-in but I've stayed here several times before and it was always seamless so this particular time was definitely a one-off.

Great location! Easy to get in and out of accommodation.

It was very hot in the apartment with the window only opening a crack. Perhaps a fan or allowing the windows to open fully would have helped.

We loved the studio, very clean and comfortable. Great to have a kitchenette. Location is great and the check in process is very easy. We will definitely be back!

Everything was great

Location

Broken window blind (not a recent break, looked tatty). Noisy. Room above v loud. Window wouldn’t shut properly.

Ideal location, easy to access , has little kitchenette and fridge

Maybe a little noise if on street side & no hairdryer

Covenient location. Good shower. Basic cooking facilities.Space smaller than expected and stair access steep.

A hassle to get apartment entry codes. Small space. Window and general security poor. No instructions for kitchen equipment usage.

Super location and extremely clean

No instructions for stove or microwave or cleaning

The property was clean and nice. In the middle of Maynooth town, so, really close to a lot of bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again

The studio is really cute and clean.

I would suggest adding a small table and a chair, especially since there is a kitchen. Also, better soundproofing would be appreciated. On my last night, I could barely sleep due to very loud "activity" from the neighboring unit :')

Everything was as advertised. The studios were very comfortable and spacious. Communication with the host was very good, and he was very accommodating. The location was great.

There was no private parking.

The room was very clean. Easy to access restaurants. We had an OUTSTANDING dinner at the Italian restaurant next door!

On a very busy street in a small village type area. Luckily we found on street parking right in front of the room but only for an hour. I had difficulty with the lock box since I’m not familiar with how they work. Thankfully our room was only one flight up because the stairs were very steep, narrow and curved. The stairs are also not deep meaning you could not put the entire ball of your foot on the step which made carrying suitcases up and down these stairs difficult. Anyone with mobility issues would have a difficult time. No lift available. Overnight parking locations were not provided. Fortunately we found one nearby via Google maps and provided the information to the establishment so they can provide it to others in the future. We never could get the wifi to work. Messaging with the managing person was possible but with delays so at times wasn’t effective. The room was nice but for two people in the bed the top blanket was not large enough and we kept “fighting” over it all night. It’s also short so our feet stuck out if the cover was pulled up too far. The pillows are VERY full and not really compressible so really, too big. No other pillow options other than the decorative ones were available. I’m sorry to give a bad review, the concept seems nice, but not enough detail about the property was provided to make a good assessment for booking.

Great place to stay. Firstly although there is no reception, the staff member that I messaged through the Booking app was so attentive, responded quickly and was friendly and helpful. The apartment itself had everything we needed- shower gel, a hairdryer, pots and pans, dishwashing soap and sponge for cleaning. Only missing a brush and pan but we were only staying for one night so that wasn't a big deal.

Shower head fell a few times when using the shower. At one point it fell and hit my foot, bruising my toe. Not sure if it was broken, or if we weren't putting it up properly - the rail it was attached to seemed abit loose or something

No Breakfast available

Everything was ok

Bit hard to find the property but the town is lovely. Small self contained space. Clean and comfortable. Ok

Location

Inadequate check in instructions. Towels were like sand paper. Door system and locks annoying. No AC. HOT!

Convenient to many restaurants

Parking was difficult on the streets. Parking meters for 1 hour at a time until 1830. When I called management about parking, very abrupt with answers. Front door lock a bit difficult to use.

Perfectly located for maynooth university. Cool kitchen in a wardrobe setting, very clean. Comfy bed.

Paint in bathroom peeling off. No bottle opener. Front door was never locked. Bed not very big for 2 people

The central location was good. Having a little kitchen was nice.

We particularly required parking so this apartment ticked that box. However after driving round and round for 50 minutes looking for somewhere to park overnight we eventually rang. The carpark suggested has no overnight parking signs all onscreen parking was full. I suggest if you are looking for a quick night stopover you look elsewhere than Maynooth it was insanely busy.

nothing

arrived at the property to find there was no key to the room, checked evey single key holder in the building with my key code provided, only one that worked had no key inside. Called both numbers multiple times and no answer had to find alternative accommodation at 730pm on a friday evening which took me another 3 hours made me late for my event.

The location is quite good for Maynooth.

The entry code was not provided as promised, requiring last-minute communications and undue stress. Restful sleep was impossible, because the temperature was way too warm, which could not be alleviated by opening windows (also worsening the noise from outside), and the window blind was damaged/not effective at blocking light from outside. Further, the bathroom sink and shower drain were both clogged, preventing adequate use for hygiene. The kitchenette tap was also quite loose. The other guests could be heard any time they would enter/exit or even just move around their rooms. It was an unpleasant experience overall.

The comfy bed and the fab shower.

Had difficulty opening the lock box. The lever to open was very hard to pull down.

The apartment was well located on the main street and easily accessible. Ideally located for all amenities, shops, pubs, restaurants, parks etc. It was clean, tidy and well equipped. A lovely stay overall.

The pillows (Apartment 3) were very uncomfortable. Bulky and lumpy. We ended up using the throw cushions as pillows. A small amount of Milk in the fridge to make tea/coffee would be a nice touch.

Good location, easy to get in and out

Thin walls, slightly dirty bedsheet.

Clean, easy self checkin, location

This was not the room that we booked. It was smaller & not what we wanted or paid for.

The central heating didn’t work. When I called the property manager I was fobbed off and told it would be fixed but that never happened. Poor value for money, I felt ripped off.

Easy access to everything as a non driver haveing the train station and everything near hand was so helpfull to us .

The bed and room was very small. The room was very cold.

What a lovely place to stay.we booked it because we were going to a 40th. So pleasantly surprised. Nearly didnt want to leave to go to the party! Everything you could want. Lovely bathroom with high power shower. Kitchen.

Tv was not working. My parents are 79 and 80 and hoped to stay some time in the room. The “Smart” TV they couldn’t use

Very clean, central, easy to find

Obviously an AirBnB that was taking a home away from a local. Wifi signal did not reach room, so not as advertised. Contacted owner about wifi, no response. As it was a residential property, walls were very thin. Other guests had conversations in the corridor up to midnight. Woken up at 6:30 by someone else's alarm clock. Room I stayed in was in the main corridor, heard everyone coming in all night.

Provision of hair dryer would be useful. Blind on window broken.

Location I was great

It was cold when we entered the room. The heating didn’t work. Called the owner who bought a portable heater in. It didn’t send a lot of heat out. The blinds wouldn’t stay down. Had to put a towel over the window. And when we looked at the blind it was full of holes. We couldn’t get the hob to work. We could hear a lot of noise coming from next apartment. Constant flashing from keypad and smoke alarm and carbon monoxide

Very nice and clean studio

TV signal very poor

The room is very frozen. We tried to heat on but doesn’t work. We found a heater charger so it is still a cold room.

The thermostat wasn't working in the room, I was freezing cold during my night stay, customer service wanted to charge me 25 euros extra as I was packing and leaving the room 30ish min after the the check out, which he didn't informed me before about this policy before booking it. Wasn't helpful at all. Not recommended!

The bed was to small for 2 people , fan not working over cooked, fridge not working & no fan in bathroom

The apartment was very cold on arrival and heating did not appear to be working. Luckily there was a small heater which helped somewhat. The proprietor did get a person to check boiler but issue was never sorted.

nothing

couldn't get in

Couldn't figure out something called the owner and he was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and had great utilities. The bed itself was perfect. Bathroom was lovely and clean and once again, owner was very nice. Room is very spacious and you dont feel crampt at all

Another person staying at the apartments woke us up at 3am. He was unable to open the lock box.

Great location, comfy bed, kitchen was perfect, easy access to room, friendly, clean room, okay sized room.

Didn’t get many replies to messages, no heating except the electric heater, wifi hardly worked, tv channels didn’t work properly and had to reconnect to wifi each time, window leaked when rained and draft came through, no shampoo and barely enough shower gel, hair gets stuck in hair dryer VERY easily, bathroom wall could really use a fix, shower leaked onto ground near toilet, not enough toilet paper, the coffee and sugar weren’t great, very easy to hear people in the corridor, pricey even considering the kitchen.

In the centre of town Very clean room And bathroom.

I was given a front door key. I was locked of of the property one of the evenings i stayed.

the location was perfect and the friendly people in the area.

wish we stayed longer

The location of the studio is perfect, in the centre of Maynooth. It is easy to find and access. The studio was well designed, very clean and tidy, with a very comfortable bed.

The radiator in the studio (room 1) and the heated towel rail in the bathroom were not on and we couldn't figure out how to turn on. Thankfully there was a small plug in heater but it was cold. Instructions on how to operate the heating would have been useful. In addition the wifi did not work properly with the result that the TV did not work. That usually would not be a major issue but we wished to catch the end of a key match when we arrived. A couple of minor issues - only one fork for two people and one stool, although there was space for two if the spare fridge was removed.

It was clean

The main door was not locked and I felt nervous

Spacious room with kitchenette and smart tv.

Room 5 was very cold - lucky there was as storage heater. Also the tv kept disconnecting from the WIFI.

Had everything one needs

N/a

It is in a very good location on main street Maynooth. It was self service which suited us fine.It was clean and warm.

States very narrow

On the main road

Noise could be heard from the road

Very comfortable. Location central, everything that you required was provided. Would recommend stay & the 5 of us would stay again even if we didn't have wedding to go to. Thank you.

Parking, meter outside door not working & parking was for 1 hrs, only. We only realised 1 hr. after putting 4€ in meter . to come back to a parking ticket.

Location, design, shower

TV channels were scrambled

Location was perfect!

Messages via booking.com prior to visit left unanswered. Parking advised as part of features however, this was not the case, parking was across the road in a hotel car park, 6 euro per day, free on Sunday. The distance from car park to accommodation was minimal however, feel pay parking should be highlighted upfront. Property has plumbing issues and could do with the bathroom walls being painted.

Location great , cleanliness good

Other guests not respecting noise levels

Excellent spot for stay in Maynooth. Facilities were excellent and clean. Plenty of towels. Bed was comfortable and would book again. Exceeded my expectations.

1) Explaining that your flat door automatically locks itself would have helped. Closed the door and it didnt lock. After a few minutes of frustration I realised that I had to close the door and wait. I waited for about 25s and it then locks itself. Knowing that would have helped a lot. The flat had virtually everything (kitchen, fridge, microwave, etc) except it didnt have (I couldnt find?) an iron and ironing board, which I hoped would be there as I had wanted to iron my shirt.

On the High street. Easy access to where we needed to get to.

Arrived, checked in, and noticed toilet was not flushing Called the owner, who promised to get someone by 8am the next morning. No one turned up till we left .
