Maynooth Campus Accommodation

Maynooth

A 25-minute drive from Dublin, the Maynooth Campus Accommodation includes high-quality rooms with free Wi-Fi and private parking on site. The campus is just a 1-minute walk from Maynooth Castle and 10 minutes from the train station. St Patrick's Maynooth is an untapped gem. The twin rooms are large and the beds are comfortable, with two pillows each. Bathroom across the hall is perfect and updated. Extra washbasin in room. The campus is beautiful - far more impressive and Oxford/Cambridge-like than Trinity College in Dublin! Go for walks! There is a lovely garden at the end of the campus (to the left of the outdoor breakfast area) and, behind the last building, a wood. In this wood is a quaint old cemetery with a lane of trees bent to make a kind of arch above your head as you walk. The copper beeches near the campus chapel are enormous and beautiful and sing songs. The very capable and friendly staff are just across the large iconic courtyard till 22:00 at night if you need anything. Access is by electronic card. Parking was free as it was holiday time. Some free parking spaces are available anyway at any time. Maynooth is very convenient for Dublin as well as the Bru Na Boinne area, which includes Newgrange. Cannot recommend highly enough. I loved that the modern lift was hidden behind a discreet wooden door in the passage of the ancient building so as to preserve the ambience.

I found all of them very professional and a joy to run the hostel and greet guests. I could see it every day. It is a very comfortable and cosy to stay. It has a very nice garden and a big kitchen. There is no elevator, but walking up and down the stairs is good exercise :-) All the guests who stayed were also nice.
