Student Overview

Bookaroom.ie have been renting student accommodation since 1997. We understand students expectations and consider quality, comfort, location, safety and the ongoing maintenance of the properties to be paramount.

All our properties have been touched up, fully cleaned and very well presented for the students of 2011.  You can expect quality student accommodation.

Have a look at our lists which detail, Railway Square, New to our books Aylesbury Manor (refurbished this August) and 5 apartments in Rossgrove.

We understand that whilst students are here in college to study there is also a social aspect to the term in Waterford. We do however highlight, that we operate a strict no party policy. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our student residents.

We have a full maintenance department which is run by Maria Clifford our Company Director. Maria has worked very hard all summer to prepare our properties for your comfort. So when you are renting from Bookaroom.ie if something breaks down or you have an issue in your apartment you can expect a prompt service. You can always email Maria direct on reception@bookaroom.ie

Points to note at this time, when you are moving in don´t forget to fill in the check in report and hand it back to the girls on reception. If there are any marks or something we should know about, moving in time is the time to highlight. Last year we had very few deductions from deposits on departure as a result of this system. Also when you are moving out, PLEASE leave your apartment as you found it, clean.

Thank you for considering bookaroom.ie. We look forward to showing you around our "tasteful student accommodation"

Good luck in College,

Best wishes,
Regina Mangan
Managing Director
