Overview and pricing
Yugo New Mill is a student accommodation building located in Dublin 8, close to the city centre. The residence offers ensuite rooms only – each room has its own private bathroom, while kitchens and living areas are shared. Weekly rents range from €348 to €358, with bills included. The minimum lease is 41 weeks, and availability begins on 27 August 2026. A deposit of €500 is required at booking.
All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator before committing. At €348–€358 per week, Yugo New Mill sits well above the city’s lowest weekly rent of €219, which is typical for shared rooms or basic studios further from the centre. Among Dublin’s 50+ student properties, this residence is in the upper-mid price range. The premium reflects its location near the city core and the inclusion of a gym, laundry facilities, and all utility bills.
Who this residence is suitable for
Students who value proximity to central Dublin and on-site amenities. The building is within walking distance of many city-centre campuses and public transport hubs. Residents can reach major universities (including Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and Dublin City University) by bus or bike within 20–40 minutes, depending on the campus. The area around Dublin 8 has grocery shops, cafes, and pubs, making daily errands fairly convenient.
Those who want an ensuite without the cost of a full studio. The property only offers ensuite rooms. If you prefer not to share a bathroom but are comfortable sharing a kitchen and living room with 4–6 flatmates, this layout can save you money compared to a self-contained studio. The rent includes water, electricity, heating, and internet – one less bill to manage.
Students who want a gym on site. The property lists a gym among its facilities, which is not common in all Dublin student housing. For residents who exercise regularly, avoiding a separate gym membership can be a practical saving.
Those booking well in advance for the 2026/27 academic year. Rooms are available from late August 2026. Early booking (now through early 2026) gives you the widest choice of floor levels and room positions within the building.
Who should look elsewhere
Budget-conscious students. Dublin’s cheapest student rooms start at €219/week, often in shared apartments or older buildings. At €348–€358/week, Yugo New Mill costs roughly 60% more than the city’s entry-level price. If your rental budget is under €300/week, you will find more affordable options, even if they require a longer commute or a shared bathroom.
Those expecting high-quality fixtures. Several Google reviews mention that the room fittings and communal kitchen are worn. One reviewer wrote: “Fixtures in the room were cheap and nasty and the communal kitchen area was very tired and in need of a good clean.” If you prioritise modern finishes and spotless common areas, you may be disappointed.
Students who need to speak to management about problems. A recurring theme in reviews is difficulty getting issues resolved. Another resident stated: “I repeatedly visited reception over a long period of time trying to resolve an accommodation issue that was not my fault … I was never able to speak with anyone in a managerial position.” If you are prone to needing maintenance or administrative support, consider properties with a stronger reputation for responsive management.
Anyone averse to unprofessional front-desk behaviour. A third review describes a night-time receptionist being “so rude he didn’t stop cursing us and being offensive toward us … such unprofessional behaviour.” While this appears to be an isolated incident involving one staff member, it raises a red flag for potential guests or early arrivals who need reception support outside normal business hours.
What residents say
The property has a Google rating of 3.5 from 292 reviews. The three reviews included in the data set are all negative, which is worth noting when weighing the overall feedback. Here are the full verbatim quotes:
“Ok for one night or if accommodation elsewhere is very expensive. Fixtures in the room were cheap and nasty and the communal kitchen area was very tired and in need of a good clean. Staff were very nice and late checkout for 20 euro was appreciated too.” – P McD (rating 3)
“I am very disappointed with how my situation was handled by Yugo New Mill. I repeatedly visited reception over a long period of time trying to resolve an accommodation issue that was not my fault. Each time, I explained the situation and asked for help, yet I was never able to speak with anyone in a managerial position.” – Gizem Naz Sezen (rating 2)
“The receptionist on 17th of January night (his name is bruno) was so rude he didn’t stop cursing us and being offensive toward us, such unprofessional behavior from someone trying to scare us with his dirty talk. Please make sure to give some courses in mental health for him so he start harming the students living ther.” – Real Fhd (rating 1)
These comments highlight three main pain points: tired communal areas and low-quality room fixtures; difficulty reaching management; and an isolated but serious complaint about staff conduct. Positive aspects mentioned are the friendliness of other staff (in the first review) and the availability of a paid late checkout.
Room type and booking timing
All units at Yugo New Mill are ensuites. You will have your own shower, toilet, and sink inside your bedroom. The kitchen and living area are shared with a group of flatmates – the exact number varies by apartment size but is typically between four and six people.
The price per week is €348–€358, and the deposit is €500. Rent is due in instalments, usually at the start of the tenancy and at set intervals (e.g. termly). Confirm the exact payment schedule with the operator.
Because the property only has one room type, your main decision is the length of stay. The minimum lease is 41 weeks, covering the full academic year. A shorter lease may be possible during the summer (2027), but check availability directly.
Booking timeline: Rooms become available from 27 August 2026. For the best chance of securing a room at this price (rather than a later, potentially higher rate), apply as early as possible. Many Dublin student accommodations start taking bookings from autumn 2025 for the following year. By March 2026, the most popular properties often have waiting lists. If Yugo New Mill is your first choice, aim to book before February 2026.
