🏠 Room in a 25-Bedroom Apartment, Tassaggart House – Decision Review
This is a factual look at a 25-bedroom shared property in Saggart, a village in west County Dublin. You’ll find the standard details, price context, and practical considerations to help you decide if this kind of arrangement suits your situation. Because there are no resident reviews available for this listing, the analysis draws on the property’s features, location, and market data.
Who this residence suits
Commuters who prioritise space and all-inclusive rent
If your daily routine involves travel to Dublin city centre but you don’t mind a longer commute (roughly 40–50 minutes by bus or car), this property may work. Saggart is a quiet residential area with local shops and a Luas stop (Red Line) at nearby Citywest or Saggart station. All-inclusive rent (bills covered) reduces monthly surprises.
Students or young professionals on a moderate budget
At €600–€690 per month, the price sits above Dublin’s city-wide starting point of €219 (the cheapest shared room across all properties in our database), but it’s competitive for a fully managed, bills-included arrangement in a standalone house. If you prefer a larger household with many flatmates (25 bedrooms) and don’t need en-suite facilities, this could be a cost-effective choice.
People who want a short rolling commitment
Minimum lease is 5 months, which is shorter than many standard 12-month contracts. This suits someone needing temporary accommodation for a semester or a work placement.
Who this residence does not suit
Anyone seeking privacy or a small household
A 25-bedroom apartment means a lot of people sharing common areas (kitchen, living room, bathrooms). Noise, cleaning schedules, and differing lifestyles are likely. If you need quiet study time or low social contact, look for a smaller property.
City-centre goers who hate commuting
Saggart is about 20 km from Dublin city centre. Without a car, you rely on the Luas Red Line (from nearby Saggart or Citywest stops) or bus services. Travel time to Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, or Dublin City University can easily exceed one hour each way, depending on connections.
Those who need en-suite or double bedrooms
The listing categories are “non_ensuite” and “independent_house”. Rooms are individual (shared bathroom) – no private wet room. If you want your own bathroom, this isn’t it.
What residents actually say
No written reviews are currently available for this property. Because the data set contains zero resident feedback, we cannot quote any direct experience. When you are considering a room, always ask the operator for contacts of current or past tenants, or check if they can share informal testimonials. Without reviews, your decision should be based purely on the physical tour, contract terms, and the operator’s reputation.
Price positioning vs Dublin’s city-wide from-price
- City-wide from-price: €219 per month (the lowest listed monthly rent for any room in our Dublin portfolio).
- Tassaggart House range: €600–€690 per month.
The difference is significant. The €219 room is likely a small room in a high-demand central location with fewer inclusions. Tassaggart House sits in the mid-range for Dublin shared accommodation. For context, many purpose-built student accommodation blocks near city campuses charge €800–€1,200 per month for en-suite rooms, so this property is below that level. But for Saggart itself, €600–€690 is on the upper end for a house share in a suburban village.

Room-type guidance
The listing describes two categories: non_ensuite and independent_house. In practice, this means:
- All rooms are individual bedrooms within a large house (not a block of flats).
- Bathrooms, kitchen, and living spaces are shared among 25 residents.
- The unit type “independent_house” indicates the building is a stand-alone house, not part of a managed apartment complex. This may affect how repairs, cleaning, and check-in are handled.
- Tags confirm microwave and laundry facility (likely a shared washing machine). Bills are included (electricity, water, heating, internet).
If you are used to university halls with organised social events or gyms, this property will lack those extras. It is a no-frills shared living arrangement.
Booking timing
The property is currently tagged as “not_available”. This could mean it is fully occupied for the upcoming period, or the operator has temporarily paused listings. If you are searching for a room starting in 2026 or 2027, you should:
- Contact the operator directly to ask when availability reopens.
- Enquire about waiting lists.
- Ask if the “not_available” label applies to all rooms or just specific dates.
Short-term leases (5 months) often become available at short notice, so check back monthly.
FAQ
H3: What is the typical move-in date for this property?
No move-in date is listed. Because the property is currently marked as not available, the exact timeline is unclear. Contact the operator to ask if rooms open up for a January 2026 or September 2026 start.
H3: Are utility bills really included, and what is covered?
Yes, the tags confirm “bills_included”. This typically covers electricity, heating, water, and internet. Confirm with the operator whether any caps apply (e.g., excessive heating usage) and whether council tax (if applicable) is also included.
H3: Is there a deposit, and how is it handled?
Deposit information is not provided in the data. In Ireland, standard practice is one month’s rent as a deposit. Ask the operator in writing what the deposit amount is, how it is protected (Tenancy Deposit Scheme), and the conditions for a full refund.
