Hotel Details

Location

Yugo Explore - Kavanagh Court sits in a central Dublin location, within a 15-minute walk of Trinity College and a 9-minute walk from Connolly Train Station.
The property is a 10-minute walk from O'Connell Street and less than 20 minutes on foot to Temple Bar and Dublin Castle. Croke Park is a 17-minute walk away. The area has a high concentration of hostels and can feel lively in the evenings, with some groups gathering around the nearby park. The building itself has extensive security. For airport access, bus 41 stops directly outside and costs €2.60, while a taxi takes about 25 minutes and costs roughly €25-35. Several supermarkets (Spar, Tesco) and a variety of Asian and takeaway restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.

Accommodation

Rooms are compact, student-style en-suite units with a small double bed (120x190 cm), wardrobe, desk, and heating.
Each room has a private shower room and a lockable door. The bed size is suitable for one adult or two people who do not mind a tight fit. Some rooms overlook a main road or the park, which can be noisy. There is no air conditioning; opening the window is the only way to cool the room, and this lets in street noise. The rooms are basic: no TV, no kettle, and no decorative extras. The shared kitchen is stocked with essential crockery and cutlery, and a TV lounge is available. For groups, private apartments with up to 7 en-suite bedrooms and a dedicated kitchen/living area can be booked.

Dining

This property does not serve breakfast or operate a restaurant or bar on site.
A café is located on the ground floor, and the surrounding area offers a wide range of Asian restaurants and takeaways within a 3-minute walk, including Sichuan Chilli King, Bowls, and Turkish Kebab House. A short stroll also reaches traditional pubs like Murray's Bar. The shared kitchen is equipped with an oven, hobs, a dishwasher, and basic utensils for self-catering. Guests can help themselves to free tea and coffee at reception.

Leisure

On-site leisure facilities include a games room with table tennis, a shared lounge with a TV, and a gym.
The games room offers table tennis and a pool table. The shared lounge is a comfortable space to relax with a TV. A small fitness room is available for guests who wish to exercise. All leisure areas are within the secure building.

Amenities

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Luggage storage is offered, and a 24-hour front desk is always staffed.
The reception team can hold bags before check-in or after checkout. A laundry room is available on site for a fee. Hairdryers and toiletries are available on request from reception. The building has a lift, key card access, and 24-hour security with CCTV. An ironing board is available. Kitchen essentials such as pots and pans can be requested if not already present in the shared kitchen.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a private apartment for a group if you want a self-contained space with kitchen and living area.

  • 02

    Use luggage storage at reception if you arrive before check-in or have an evening flight.

  • 03

    Request a room away from main roads and the park if you are a light sleeper, as traffic and outdoor noise can be significant.

  • 04

    Take bus 41 (€2.60) from the airport to the stop right outside the building for a low-cost transfer.
